THIS ISN’T FOLKLORE. IT’S AN EVOLUTIONARY CONTINGENCY PLAN.
NAMTAR - The Night Plague
A Gothic Biological Thriller by C. D. Jones
The world calls them vampires. Science calls them the Namtar. Buried beneath Antarctic ice for millennia, these crystalline predators weren't created by nature—they were engineered as an evolutionary contingency plan. Now, a weaponized plague from the twilight of Atlantis is awakening, and it will not sleep until the human food chain is reset.
When seventeen-year-old Alex Weston triggers a dormant genetic sequence during a lethal encounter, his world fractures. He isn't just a survivor; he’s the catalyst for a global extinction event. Caught between the shadow-dwelling Namtar and the tactical precision of the Arete Organization, Alex must discover if he is humanity’s last hope or its final executioner.
I’ve lived with this story for twenty years. What began as an exploration of ancient mythology has evolved into a high-concept technothriller rooted in the terrifying possibilities of genetic engineering. This definitive edition of NAMTAR represents two decades of research into the "what if" of our own DNA—a story where ancient mystery meets modern tactical suspense.

Why Readers Are Calling This The Next Frontier of Techno-Horror
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Throw away everything you thought you knew about the limits of human biology!" — Reader
When a forgotten legacy becomes a global death sentence, survival isn't a choice—it's an evolution.
NAMTAR: The Night Plague is a cinematic technothriller where the line between ancient myth and modern science vanishes. When an engineered biological weapon awakens beneath the Antarctic ice, seventeen-year-old Alex Weston discovers his own DNA is the catalyst for either humanity’s salvation or its ultimate extinction.
Critics and fans of Michael Crichton and Blake Crouch are calling it The Strain meets Upgrade—a story of tactical grit, high-octane technical precision, and real-world consequences that keep you turning pages until dawn.
Perfect for readers who crave:
Apex Predator Bio-Science: 12,000-year-old "vampire" myths reimagined through a cold, genetic lens.
Tactical Found Family: Bonds forged in the shadow of the Arete Facility and tested by impossible biological choices.
Global Containment Operations: Relentless action spanning from the Paris catacombs to the high-tech silence of the Antarctic archives.
High-Stakes Realism: No "chosen one" clichés—only protagonists who earn their survival through sacrifice and strategic grit.
The Director’s Cut Experience: A definitive narrative 20 years in the making, stripped of fluff for total immersion.
This is Book One. The evolution has begun.
THE ENGINEERED THREAT NO ONE WAS PREPARED FOR
The Arete Order has operated in the shadows for millennia—a clandestine network of molecular biologists and tactical specialists dedicated to containing a biological anomaly that exists outside the fossil record. Their primary operations center, buried deep beneath the foundations of Paris, houses the final line of defense against a 12,000-year-old genetic override.
But containment is failing. When the facility is compromised and a lead instructor becomes the apex predator hunting the squad, the mission shifts from protection to pure survival. In the world of NAMTAR, the "cure" is a biological impossibility, and being a guardian is a death sentence in disguise.
The Science is Deep: A rigorous re-imagining of ancient myths as a prehistoric genetic contingency plan.
The Action is Brutal: High-stakes tactical operations where strategic grit matters more than "chosen one" tropes.
The Emotional Cost is Real: A story where every biological "upgrade" comes with a devastating human price.
Alex Weston is running out of time. The Night Plague has already begun.

Adult Historical Technothriller / Gothic Horror
The essential, canonical companion to THE NIGHT PLAGUE.
For fans of The Historian and The Terror who crave deep, forensic world-building.
Features Victorian medical documents, "Arete" artifacts, and Stoker’s encrypted entries.
"The truth requires patience; deception requires only a moment."
To our dedicated Archivists and Guardians:
We have made the executive decision to shift the official release of Namtar: The Bram Stoker Journals to Summer 2026.
While the core narrative of Stoker’s hidden history is complete, new genetic "artifacts" and encrypted documents have surfaced within the Arete Organization’s vault. To ensure this 12,000-year legacy is documented with the absolute precision required by the Night Plague protocols—and to align the deep-lore connections between the Victorian era and modern genetic science—we are extending the archival process.
This is not merely a delay; it is a containment of the full truth. We appreciate your vigilance.
