Summary

Absolution opens decades before Area X forms, with a science expedition whose mysterious end suggests terrifying consequences for the future -- and marks the Forgotten Coast as a high-priority area of interest for Central, the shadowy government agency responsible for monitoring extraordinary threats. Many years later, the Forgotten Coast files wind up in the hands of a washed-up Central operative known as Old Jim. He starts pulling a thread that reveals a long and troubling record of government agents meddling with forces they clearly cannot comprehend. With every turn, the stakes get higher: Central agents are being liquidated by an unknown rogue entity and Old Jim's life is on the line.
