Simian's Sin Stephen Donald Huff

This compendium contains three complete novels comprising the middle trilogy of the Terminus Series. Titles include "Simian's Gate", "Simian's Walk", and "Simian's Way".

Simian's Gate: During his service as an intern at the SETI Project, Simian Wynwood fatefully records "first contact" with an alien intelligence. Within months, this so-called SETI-Tech becomes widely available to the general populous, and disturbing events rapidly begin to unfold around the planet, as an apparently benevolent alien influence slowly embraces and then seizes control of nearly every aspect of human civilization, having foolishly opened Simian's Gate.

Simian's Walk: Perversely efficient in the aftermath, an alien-incepted Terminus Signal drives roving clans of homicidal lunatics to exterminate these Immunes to a last number. During the course of their apocalyptic odyssey, one such band of desperate survivors must overcome petty, pre-Terminus differences to form life-and-death bonds strong enough to withstand Simian's Walk and the actual end of their world.

Simian's Way: Eighteen months later, six-and-a-half billion people lay withered in death, victims of a technological Trojan horse and all murdered at the hands of family, friends and neighbors. In the aftermath, survivors divide, hunter and hunted. Extinction looms. No one will survive Simian's Way unscathed.
