Before Unitology

Set centuries before the events of the Dead Space series, this prequel traces the beginnings of Unitology through geophysicist Michael Altman’s investigation of the Black Marker, an alien artefact uncovered beneath the Yucatán Peninsula. The archaeological discovery connects the novel’s horror to questions of humanity’s origins and what may follow death. Altman’s theory, initially unheard, places one person’s inquiry at the start of a much wider history. The book offers a point of entry into the series’ mythology, with its focus on the artefact and the formation of a belief system.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Dead Space readers interested in the series’ earlier history and the origins of Unitology
  • Horror readers drawn to alien artefacts, archaeology, and speculative questions about death
  • Readers interested in stories centered on a scientist investigating a discovery with far-reaching consequences

We have seen the future.
A universe cursed with life after death.

It all started deep beneath the Yucatan peninsula, where an archaeological discovery took us into a new age, bringing us face-to-face with our origins and destiny.

Michael Altman had a theory that no one would hear.

It cursed our world for centuries to come.

This, at last, is his story.
