A post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller of underground survival, ancient technology and a deadly struggle for control.
The journey into darkness has begun.
Asteroid AG5 has struck, leaving the Earth's surface trapped beneath a choking cloud of dust. Deep underground, Sarah Morgan is being held prisoner inside USSB Sanctuary after uncovering ancient technology hidden beyond the human-built base.
But Sanctuary is only the entrance to something far greater: a colossal subterranean civilisation humanity did not create.
As Sarah searches for a way out, Professor Steiner and Robert Goodwin face a battle for control within the Global Meteor Response Council. With civilisation dying above and unknown creatures moving through the darkness below, Sanctuary may prove more dangerous than the world it was built to escape.
Dark Descent is Book Two in the Ancient Origins series, perfect for readers who love James Rollins, Preston & Child and A.G. Riddle, with underground exploration, ancient civilisations and post-apocalyptic survival. This continuous saga is best read in order.
