Dead Space

Tor is proud to launch the first novel in this amazingly imaginative and thought provoking video game universe that looks deep into the origins of humanity and of a vast onslaught of horrifying creatures known as necromorphs..."The Church of Unitology" begins with Michael Altman, a geophysicist who discovered a mysterious signal emitting from deep within the Chicxulub crater. He and his girlfriend Ada lead an excavation team to the underwater crater, determined to find the source of the baffling message. But what they discover possessed a mysterious power. Close proximity to the stone caused strange occurrences: visions of the dead, vivid dreams, and violent murders. When Michael secretly obtains a small piece of the marker, he brings these visions to the world above. One message from the Marker was clear: Prove yourself worthy of eternal life, or the slate will be wiped clean on Earth. This is how the "Dead Space" mythos all began - how one man's discovery formed the foundations of an unfathomable future.
