From New York Times bestselling and award-winning author Jonathan Maberry, Cold War is an action-packed sci-fi thriller full of weird science, kick-ass heroes, humor, passion, heroism, and sacrifice!

In NecroTek, Asphodel space station was accidentally teleported to the far side of the galaxy, where they became embroiled in a never-ending war against ancient cosmic horrors.

But there is much more to the story ...

On Earth, scientists uncover an alien spacecraft buried for millions of years beneath Antarctic ice. Inside are terrible secrets and a creature desperate to escape.

Soon the scientists studying the Artifact begin to have terrifying dreams, driving many of them to madness and acts of shocking violence. Dr. Evie Cronin and her team struggle to find answers, fully aware that they may only be found out among the stars. Their investigation brings them to the orbit of Jupiter moments before the WarpLine gun misfires. Destiny is a vicious and devious thing.

On Asphodel Station, the newly created ghost-driven NecroTek fighting machines are engaged in a desperate battle for survival against the deadly shoggoth fleets. But a new and far more dangerous race of creatures is poised to attack, both with their own fleets and with nightmares forced into the minds of the dwindling human defenders.

The group of scientists from Antarctica and the survivors on Asphodel are pitted against an unstoppable enemy. If they fail, Asphodel Station will fall, and the Outer Gods will be free to wage a war of conquest across the galaxy--to Earth itself.

Also known as NecroTek Book 2.

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry

Jonathan Maberry is a master weaver of suspense, horror, and dark adventure, with a unique ability to blend the supernatural with the gritty edges of reality. Born in the working-class neighborhoods of Philadelphia, Maberry’s early years were steeped in the pulse of urban life, which would later become a vivid backdrop for many of his stories. His career has been anything but conventional—drawing from his deep love of horror, martial arts, and folklore, he’s crafted a body of work that resonates with fans of both thrilling action and emotional depth.

Best known for his Joe Ledger series, a blend of horror, military fiction, and speculative thrillers, Maberry’s books often challenge readers with moral dilemmas, personal sacrifice, and the shadowy forces that lurk beneath the surface of society. But it’s not just the fast-paced action or the edge-of-your-seat suspense that makes his writing so compelling; it’s the way he builds real, relatable characters and explores themes of courage, survival, and the complexities of human nature, even in the face of the supernatural.

In addition to his Joe Ledger series, Maberry has earned praise for his Rot & Ruin novels, which take a unique approach to the zombie genre, focusing not just on the horrors of the undead, but also on the people who survive in a world ravaged by the apocalypse. These stories are more than just about zombies—they’re about growing up, finding hope, and fighting to keep what makes us human, even when everything around us is falling apart.

Maberry’s work has garnered numerous accolades, including multiple Bram Stoker Awards, and his stories have been adapted into comics, TV shows, and video games, further cementing his status as a force in modern horror and thriller fiction. With a career spanning decades, his influence continues to inspire writers and fans alike.

At the heart of Jonathan Maberry’s writing is an unrelenting drive to explore what it means to be human in the face of the extraordinary. Whether he’s plunging his characters into apocalyptic scenarios, exposing the darkest corners of society, or threading supernatural elements into his narratives, Maberry’s work challenges readers to confront their own fears, hopes, and the complexities of life and death. For those who crave more than just thrills, his books are a deep dive into the heart of what it means to survive—and to truly live.
