"Furthermore, we have not even to risk the adventure alone; for the heroes of all time have gone before us; the labyrinth is thoroughly known; we have only to follow the thread of the hero-path. And where we had thought to find an abomination, we shall find a god; where we had thought to slay another, we shall slay ourselves; where we had thought to travel outward, we shall come to the center of our own existence; where we had thought to be alone, we shall be with all the world."
CRYPTID HUNTER
LOGLINE
A battle-scarred safari hunter is recruited by a secret society to capture mythical creatures—CRYPTIDS—each tied to a classical element and capable of traversing dimensions through quantum tunneling. But when his employer mutates into a monstrous hybrid, Kipling McKay must protect the very beings he once hunted… to save the world.
SUMMARY
For centuries, legends have spoken of creatures that defy imagination—beings so terrifying they rattle even the bravest soldiers, unnerve the boldest adventurers, shake the faith of religious leaders, and force scientists to question the very fabric of reality.
The search for these creatures has long been the obsession of a privileged few: the ultra-wealthy, the powerful, and those who quietly shape the world from behind the curtain—and intend to keep it that way. To capture such monsters, they employ mercenaries, swashbucklers, and seasoned adventurers—men and women who will face any danger, conquer any foe… for the right price.
But these creatures are not pursued for science or wonder. They are hunted for exploitation. The elite deceive the world’s brightest minds, twisting their discoveries into weapons, trophies, and instruments of war—all for power and profit.
Enter Kipling McKay, known simply as Kip—a mysterious safari hunter with a haunted past. Recruited by a secretive society of cryptozoologists, Kip is thrust into a hidden war against the unknown. In a world where science and myth blur at the edges, he must track and capture the most elusive and dangerous creatures ever imagined.
But as the hunt deepens, Kip faces a grim choice: serve the dark ambitions of those who hired him—or protect the very beings he was sent to destroy.
