Precis for new novel, EDGE, by David J Rodger

Hi this is the precis for the new novel, due out in October. Comments welcome.

###

In the near future…

At the age of 29, Christian Carmichael is a leading inventor of new technology.  He accepts the invitation from an acquaintance, a man he barely knows, to take a snowboarding break at the Zen Dow resort.  At first it is just the elixir he needs, but events take a dark turn when people start to go missing.  

On the other side of the world is Halo Santana, an unscrupulous agent who preys on vulnerable minds with fresh ideas.  A random incident gives him a lead on a new technology that's vanished from a corporate R&D division, along with the scientist in charge. 

A malign and alien force is oozing into our reality, squirming across vast cosmic distances; radiating a malevolent and corruptive energy; sentient, older than humankind and growing strong again after centuries of absence.

Both men find their fate intrinsically entwined as events unfold with increasing tension, plunging them through heart-gripping scenes of terror.
