Imagine finding the largest deposit of platinum on the planet in a nearly pure state. Do you understand how rich you would become if you were able to extract this from its position nearly three miles below the surface. You would have billions and billions of dollars at your command.

If you knew of this deposit, you would do everything you could to keep it a secret. You would hire people to keep strangers away from the site. You would shoot your competition if they showed up unannounced. You would do whatever it takes to protect what you consider to be yours.

What would you do if something had beaten you to that deposit. That’s right, I said something, not someone. What if that something was responsible for that platinum deposit in the first place. Would you go down and try to take the deposit anyway?

Earthcore is an amazing story about a group of treasure hunters who are after the mother load. The only problem is that they find a little more than they bargained for. A creature that does not seem to like anything that threatens its hiding place.

Scott Sigler is who I consider to be the Next Stephen King. He tries to scare you, terrify you, and if he can’t do that, he just tries to gross you out.

He spent a lot of time sending out manuscripts and found the process of getting his book published difficult. So he created the First Ever Podcast Novel, Free for download and for everyone to hear. His following grew and now Earthcore is one of the most popular in print books in the Sci Fi community.
