Synopsis/Details
“I know why the world’s going to Hell. Somebody had an agenda. They liked screwing us over. Making us suffer.”
That’s the message left for JACK KENDALL, attorney and former FBI agent, by his wayward brother ARTIE. And it becomes more disturbing when JACK finds that ARTIE’s been killed. Killed strangely and ritualistically. JACK finds himself facing The Hastur Circle, a fast-moving cult that’s totally closed to outsiders. When JACK presses for more information, the cops tell him to back off.
He finds The Hastur Circle has an authentic connection with a Higher Power. The problem is that the higher power isn’t one we’d want to connect with: it’s an incredibly ancient, demonically powerful and monstrously hungry Lovecraftian Elder God named N’yalah Khru, the Crystal Prince. After the sleep of eons, it's woken - and coming to absorb all life on our planet.
The Hastur Circle moves to open a path allowing the Crystal Prince direct access to Earth. Can JACK find the Main Center and close it down before the increasing power of The Crystal Prince’s thoughts (which are amplified through the Main Center) cripple him entirely? It's a struggle against powerful inhuman adversaries, and against Jack's own weaknesses and dependencies. The outcome's unclear, and time's running out...
