a sample if you dare . . . .
On the floor, he started to cry again.
"Let's turn back," he had told his wife. "It's not safe."
Donna turned to him, in his mind, in that cave, in that food closet. "Just a little further." Despite her worry, she was fully ensnared by the prospect of finding what they ventured here for.
Martin had agreed with her. "Just a little further."
The locker door knob jiggled again as if someone was trying to pick the lock.
Cole still ignored it.
"Just a little further," she had said. Her eyes shone a youthful energy that made Cole love her even more. Those bluest orbs pleaded with him and they won.
No, Cole said to himself in the present. Martin made us stay. We had no choice. We needed the money. For a family. Our family. Our family to come, but never would. Martin killed her.
Cole moaned. He knew deep down what was and wasn't true. That pit, that source of his angst, couldn't conceal the one true history that actually occurred. He remembered and he knew. He couldn't deny it.
He hurt all over. His eyes and face hurt from violently sobbing. His chest hurt from heaving. His muscles ached from being clenched during the reveal in his mind.
Martin didn't kill my wife, he told himself. I've been a fool. No. It was his fault we were down there. His map failed. The stability tests we performed on the cave failed. Martin failed. It was his fault we were there in the first place. His gilded tongue persuaded us to lose our good common sense and go on another one of his crazy treks.
I have to kill him, Cole resolved once again. That idea held down the truth. The strength to do that wouldn't last long. He had to act quickly before he broke down again. Before he broke down for what could be the final time.
The knob jiggled once more, finally drawing Cole's attention.
The door opened.
Cole casually glanced up. He didn't bother to wipe his wet eyes. He didn't care who saw him in this state.
Kim.
"There you are," she said.
Was she real?

A sample . . . .
"Mister Knight. Will you secure the lady here? She's trouble."
Knight grunted. He got up and yanked Kim from the bridge, pulling her deeper into the ship. Now this was something that could shake him from his boredom.
A few seconds passed.
The tension soon lifted from the air, but not from Martin. His scheme had failed. There would be no forgiveness in his future. His throat was dry. His hands shook. The one holding his gun shook so much it ached.
He fired several shots into the control panel. Sparks and parts flew and exploded. There'd be no turning back now.
Steadying himself and halfway succeeding, he stepped to the forward window.
Hunter raced in from the side door. He saw the destroyed panel, then Martin standing and looking out the window. He didn't know what to do. He figured things would go from tepid to [crappy], but he didn't want to deal with the consequences. Now the ship's controls were mangled. At least the radios still worked. He'd have to check those. But first he listened to Martin as the old man spoke to himself, "'As men, we seek despite the furies of the winds of Heaven and the malice below.'"

Words can not describe the horror of The Malice Below. All that can be said is that once you finish reading this novel, don't expect the terror to end with the warm words THE END. No, the terror, the horror will stay with you forever, giving you nightmares, waking and not.
Think twice before reading this novel!

If H.P. Lovecraft wrote Moby Dick, it'd probably read like The Malice Below.
People are disappearing on the seas, leaving behind empty ships and questions. The crew of the Final Fantasy are in search of the causes for these disappearances. Each crew member knows the dangers involved -- the uncertainty of the tides, the ulterior motives of each other, the unseen monsters -- but yet they seek.
The leader of this expedition, Harold Martin has his sights set not on the shared goal of the team, but on redemption.
Marci Kim is in it for the thrill of chasing the unknown . . . and the paycheck.
Dan Cole is in it for revenge.

An excerpt:
Kim tried to figure out why Cole had come along. He had to know what Martin was capable of. He had to be aware of the treachery of this dual-purposed expedition. Game, she corrected. This is a game. When you use people for a gain, it's nothing more than a game. She momentarily felt ashamed, but that was the truth. She played her own. So what could Cole's game be?
"Cole blames Martin for his wife's death," she said.
"He seems to be be along for the ride," Keyes added.
They realized the answer at the same time, but Kim was the one who voiced it.
"I think Cole came along to kill the old man.
"Tim. We're in trouble."
