The Call of Babylon

By Dax Havoc

"You have a wife? "
"When it's convenient."

Four-hundred years since the fall of civilization, the world is experiencing an age of rapid technological resurgence. And no field is advancing faster than biotechnology, fueled by the artifacts left buried within the human genome, as well as by those of the monstrous aberrations which wander forth from the still un-reclaimed wilds.

After having spent most of his adult life fighting to stay dry, warm, and fed, James Lockhart feels that he finally has it made. As the huntmaster of an island state far from the receding wildlands, his job is to kill monsters which never actually reach his jurisdiction. But when a mysterious young woman survives an equally mysterious crash, the marquess of the Mark of Grandeur tasks James with her protection... and that of her twin sister.

The notoriously insular huntmaster's life swiftly spirals out of control as international politics, a shadowy corporation, and violent extremists all converge in a single cataclysmic maelstrom. As the false ataraxia of his life falls away, and a legion of personal demons rear their heads, James has no choice but to let go of his solitude and embrace the chaos.

And maybe, just maybe... he can learn there's more to life than just survival.
