Description
Life on the edge of an undersea volcano is a step up for those who have spent a lifetime learning to survive in broken bodies and chronic stress. The Rifters program recruits those whose histories have preadapted them to dangerous environments, and they are tasked with running generating stations three kilometers below the surface of the Pacific.
But as the rifters delve deeper into the Juan de Fuca Ridge, they begin to uncover secrets that threaten the very foundations of their existence. The pressure is immense, and even the most hardened individuals can be forged into something unrecognizable.
The outcome is a world where the outcast and the downtrodden hold the power to bring about catastrophic change. Will the rifters be able to control the forces they have unleashed, or will they succumb to the same pressures that have shaped them into the machines they have become?
