For Jason, survival means scavenging the ruins beneath the city…until an ancient obelisk from his forgotten past — the ABADDON BEACON — attacks his mind from afar, sending his dormant psychic abilities spiraling out of control. In the aftermath, Jason and his companions have no choice but to find the obelisk before it consumes him.

But that won’t be easy. Sealed within a top-secret research lab for over a century, Abaddon has quietly seeded its nanotechnologies throughout human civilization. Its gifts once saved us from oblivion. Now they have mutated into the Nanophage — a techno-plague spreading through every city, every fleet, and every offworld habitat.

Abaddon has set a time bomb at the heart of human civilization, and Jason may be the only one who can stop it. But he isn't the only one hearing the obelisk’s alien call.

The psychic Emperor Hadrian Mariko is preparing to invade Earth — and he wants Abaddon’s power for himself. With most resistance crushed, Commander Zeke Oakfield and his spec-ops squadron are the last defenders standing in Mariko’s way.

As invasion and contagion converge, Jason’s quest will put him on a collision course with the Emperor and force a final choice: master the power growing inside him, or deliver Abaddon exactly what it has waited eons to claim… all of humanity.

The Call of Abaddon blends the political intrigue of Dune with the cosmic terror of Lovecraft and the explosive world-building of The Expanse, into a gripping science fiction epic.
