KARST-9 — The Field Journal of Elias Voss

November 1987.

Elias Voss arrives at a remote underground facility to replace a missing maintenance operator. The pay is unusually generous. Alongside his duties in Auxiliary Systems, he carries a private assignment.

Find the missing man. Recover his records. Ask no questions about the research taking place below.

But something is wrong inside KARST-9.

Trains arrive before their departure is recorded. Voices carry through abandoned passages. Rooms listed as empty show signs of occupation.

As Voss investigates, routine maintenance records begin to reveal discrepancies that cannot be explained by faulty equipment alone. Restricted passages, unexplained activity and conflicting reports raise questions about the facility's true purpose.

Years earlier, a mistake in Voss's professional life cost someone his life. He knows the consequences of trusting an unverified reading. Inside KARST-9, he must decide which records to believe when the evidence before him tells a different story.

IMPORTANT SHIPPING INFORMATION

These paperbacks are printed in small batches. Orders are packed and shipped independently from Germany via registered mail, rather than through the store’s usual fulfilment network. Paperback shipping rates therefore differ from those for other merchandise and cover postage, protective packaging and handling.

Delivery estimates shown at checkout are generated automatically and may not reflect actual transit times. Paperbacks ship from Germany, not the United States, so international deliveries may take longer than the dates displayed.
