The Metal Monster

Goodwin journeys into an uncharted Tibetan valley seeking peace, he instead stumbles into a nightmare of incomprehensible geometry and ancient peril.

Prepare yourself for a descent into a subterranean realm of phosphorescent skies and metallic behemoths.Will humanity survive its encounter with metal that thinks, or will they become mere playthings to the geometric gods of the abyss?
