The Final Transmission

When a homicide detective specializing in the occult investigates a crime scene, he discovers that members of a cult and their intended sacrificial victim have all been burned alive indiscriminately. Could the deaths be part of a suicide pact, or are they the result of a serial killer, a vigilante, or group of fanatics targeting cultists, or is it someone... or something... even worse?
What at first appears to be simple murders by the cult and its lone stalker turn out to in fact be a global conflict between an underground group bent on mutating human life through the use of collectively intelligent colony organisms, and an even more powerful cabal of government and business figures attempting to stop them by unleashing a nano-weapon capable of decimating the human population.
This special re-release contains two additional short stories set in the world and timeline of The Final Transmission.
