Novum Series

As the last descendants of Earth struggle to survive beneath the surface of an alien ocean, one man's discovery will lead him on a journey of redemption, while he fights to save what's left of his world.

Jacob Stone is a man haunted by his past. When he reluctantly accepts a job to help pay for a transport submarine he inherited but doesn't want, he inadvertently awakens an ancient and terrible power.

Its arrival triggers a chain of events that could destroy what's left of the human race or be the key to its future. But, is it a future he's willing to fight for, let alone die for?

This is the original Novum Series in 5 single books, also available in a single volume called Novum Chronicles.
