About This Book

A small exploration party investigates a desiccated, technologically ruined city and encounters a spherical alien entity that latches onto a man and exerts involuntary control, driving him toward the city core. As the group struggles with heat, electric hazards, and disorienting phenomena, photographic evidence and sensory disturbances reveal that the spheroid is linked to the city's systems and can manipulate perception and motion. Tensions rise as the parasite's influence endangers the team and sharpens moral and tactical choices about whether to retreat. The story follows the slow escalation of the organism's control and the explorers' efforts to understand and survive its predatory intelligence.
