Artifact A Sci-Fi Thriller

In an isolated Alaskan town, the local sheriff uncovers a secret lab where generative AI and bioprinting have unleashed something monstrous . . . Sheriff Colton Graves prefers the quiet life in Raven's Rest, Alaska, a remote town accessible only by tunnel and home to a hardy mix of locals and secrets buried in the ice. But when a camel wanders down Main Street--its head grotesquely sprouting a dozen eyes--Colton knows his quiet days are over. The bizarre incident leads him to NovaGen, a nearby research facility constructed inside a Cold War bunker, buried in the mountains above town. There, a trail of blood and eerie silence hints at something far more sinister than an escaped animal experiment. With his deputies--the sharp-witted Tali and rookie Ethan--Colton recruits a few trusted locals, including the unshakable Marit, Tali's sister; the intimidating "Grizz" Norval; and Edgar "Old Red" Rydell, an aging man plagued by demons from when he worked at the bunker during its covert days. Together, they investigate the abandoned lab.
