FROM THE PUBLISHER

What happens when humanity reaches too far into the dark — and the dark reaches back?

That’s the question at the heart of NecroTek, the trilogy Jonathan Maberry was born to write. Drawing on Lovecraftian cosmic horror, hard-edged military sci-fi, and the deep emotional resonance that has made him a perennial Bram Stoker Award winner, Maberry delivers a saga unlike anything else in genre fiction.

NecroTek was an io9/Gizmodo Pick of the Month and a #1 Discover Sci-Fi Pick of Best Books of 2024. Cold War was a Gizmodo Pick from 116 New Sci-Fi, Fantasy & Horror Books and a BookTrib Pick of October’s Most Thrilling Reads.

Weird Tales is proud to present the epic conclusion to Jonathan Maberry’s most ambitious work.

Praise for NecroTek

“Maberry paints a nightmarish picture of the future . . . that blends Edgar Allan Poe’s bleak darkness with Stanley Kubrick’s haunting visions of soulless tech.”
