The New Jerusalem
When Seth escapes into the lunar wasteland, rebel exiles rescue him and induct him into their hidden world: occult rituals, consciousness-altering practices, and a war against the Face's regime that has raged in secret for decades. The rebels believe the Ladder is a lie. That the Face's promises of transcendence are tools of control.
But beneath the moon's surface lie ancient tunnels, and within them dwells something neither the rebels nor the Face anticipated: the Travelers, a fungal alien intelligence that has been silently observing humanity's lunar colony. As Seth is drawn deeper into the underground labyrinths, he finds himself caught between warring human factions and an inscrutable alien presence with its own agenda.
In the depths, amid fungal cities and cosmic vistas, Seth must navigate dangers both human and alien if he hopes to survive.
Perfect for fans of Annihilation and Altered Carbon, with echoes of Philip K. Dick and gnostic mysticism, King Trance is a brutal, mind-bending journey through lunar gothic horror, occult rebellion, and the darkest corners of consciousness.
