Non-Human Origin: A Science-Fiction Thriller (The Non-Human Chronicles)

On his 49th birthday, Rex Lassiter decides he's done with danger. After surviving the battlefields of Afghanistan as a Navy SEAL, then fighting blowouts, hurricanes, and armed revolutionaries, on deepwater drilling rigs across the globe, he’s ready to settle into the quiet life on his late grandfather’s Colorado ranch—a place of hard-earned peace and cherished memories. But fate likes irony. Within a year, ruthless developers set their sights on his land, determined to transform his heritage into a sprawling resort. With legal battles draining his retirement savings and the odds stacked against him, Rex faces the reality that he's about to lose everything. That is, until Joss Molloy, a brash young billionaire with a mullet and a penchant for making enemies, enters his world. Joss offers Rex a lifeline: assemble an elite crew for a clandestine, fourteen-week mission aboard the world’s most advanced deepwater drillship to recover a mysterious object buried in the icy depths of the Antarctic Ocean. In return? Enough cash to save the ranch and secure Rex’s future. The catch? The object’s origins are shrouded in secrecy, and the rig is controlled by the most advanced AI ever created--one that's not exactly stable, and may be having the human equivalent of a psychotic break. As Rex gathers a ragtag team of battle-hardened veterans, brilliant engineers, and fearless misfits, he must confront the treacherous conditions of the Antarctic while navigating the ulterior motives of his billionaire benefactor. With time running out, Rex’s final stand becomes a race against nature, greed, and a discovery that could change the course of history—or end it. Join Rex and his team on a pulse-pounding adventure, where secrets are unearthed that may have been better off left in the Antarctic's icy depths, and one man’s fight for his legacy becomes a battle for survival in the uncharted abyss.
