Chasm City

In the far future, Tanner Mirabel, a ruthless security specialist, finds his meticulously ordered life shattered when a woman under his protection is brutally murdered by the enigmatic postmortal Argent Reivich. Driven by a relentless thirst for vengeance and justice, Tanner embarks on a perilous, light-year-spanning chase across the galaxy. His pursuit ultimately leads him to Chasm City, the once-fabled utopian human settlement on the hostile planet of Yellowstone. However, Chasm City is now a dystopian nightmare, its advanced technology and populace ravaged by a sentient nanotechnological plague known as the 'Melding Plague.' Buildings warp, machines betray, and inhabitants are twisted by its insidious influence. As Tanner navigates the city's gothic horrors and unravels the mystery of Reivich, he uncovers an ancient conspiracy, forcing him to confront deeply buried truths about himself, the universe, and an atrocity that history has desperately tried to forget, all while fighting for survival in a city that actively seeks to devour him.
