Synopsis

The world was not going to end in fire. It was going to end by becoming fixed. After surviving secret facilities, hidden civilisations, ancient relays, Bigfoot, the Underlayer, and Steve's ongoing relationship with Tang, Charlie Hudson has earned six quiet months away from Groom Lake. He gets considerably less than that. When an Antarctic research station begins remembering two different histories, Charlie is pulled back into the kind of classified problem that usually ends with paperwork, shouting, and someone discovering a door that should not exist. Beneath the ice lies Station Seven - and below that, something older than Agartha, older than the Founders, and dangerous for a reason nobody alive fully understands. It is not an invasion. It is not a weapon. It is not even angry. It is a correction mechanism. Built to protect the world from instability, the system has been quietly comparing reality against a dead, fixed version of history. And now, after everything Charlie has changed, it has identified the greatest anomaly of all. Charlie. To survive, he will need Simmons, Jones, Park, Eleanor, CLARENCE, Steve, and a guardian from a forgotten war. But this time the answer is not to fight harder, run faster, or blow up the ancient machine before lunch. This time, Charlie has to ask the wrong question. Because the apocalypse has already started. And if the correction finishes, the world will not die. It will simply never have been allowed to become anything else. This revised, rewritten, and expanded edition brings Charlie Hudson's first trilogy arc to its conclusion, deepening the Station Seven mystery, expanding the correction mechanism, and completing the journey from wrong rooms to impossible choices. Fast, funny, strange, and unexpectedly thoughtful, The Accidental Apocalypse is Book Three of The Charlie Hudson Files - a sci-fi conspiracy adventure about hidden systems, ancient mistakes, classified disasters, and one very tired man reality keeps trying to correct.

À propos de l'auteur

E. M. Thomben is the pen name of an Australian author drawn to the crossroads of science, mystery, and adventure. With a background in technology and a lifelong love of storytelling, E. M. crafts tales where the boundaries of reality are always just a little bit blurred - blending humour, suspense, and wonder in equal measure.

E. M. toyed and dabbled for years with the idea of publishing the scribblings and notes that slowly evolved into these novels, until finally deciding to take the plunge a few years ago. What began as creative thought experiments and late-night notebook sessions has since turned into a slowly growing list of immersive, thought-provoking fiction.

Though E. M. prefers to remain behind the curtain, letting the stories speak for themselves, Thomben is a quiet observer of the universe - watching, wondering, and writing. Every tale E. M. tells is shaped by the encouragement of friends, the curiosity of family, and the infinite possibilities found in a single unanswered question.
