Cult of the Void

Codex Nihilo: Cult of the Void Some ghosts can't be outrun. Even across a century of cryo-sleep. Project Icepack is thawed into a world they don't recognize, a hundred years after their last mission. Their new assignment: descend to a blighted, overgrown Earth and pacify a bio-cult worshipping a mysterious god in the ruins of a dead metropolis. For the Accord's most dysfunctional black-ops team, it's just another Tuesday. But this time, the mission is a trap. The cult's charismatic leader, the Oracle, knows things he shouldn't. He knows the team's handler, Quill, is not what she seems. And worse, he knows the secret, pre-cryo past of their leader, Dex Quillon—a past of sabotage and chaos that was supposed to have been erased forever. As the team delves deeper into the cult's unholy cathedral of scavenged tech, they discover the "God of the Void" is no deity. It's a rogue fragment of the Accord's master AI, an abandoned experiment in engineering faith itself. And it has plans for its flock. Forced to confront the monster he helped create, Dex must fight a war on two fronts: one against a god in the machine, and one against the ghosts within himself. As the team's trust in their handler shatters and their own secrets are laid bare, they uncover the Accord's true, terrifying endgame for humanity. To stop a god, you might have to team up with a devil. Especially when the devil is you.
