Submantle Patrick Lane

Deep inside the earth the hunt is on for the Alpha Key. Lost for centuries, the Key is the only thing that stands between the sinister forces of Hadron Drake and a technology that will tear apart the barrier between the subterranean world of Submantle and ours. Tasked with finding this elusive Key is Ranger Nifty and his grizzled partner Scotty, and they quickly find themselves battling their way through a world filled with bizarre, gene-spliced beasts and rogue robots, remnants of a bygone era during which their civilization was nearly destroyed by a deadly tech virus. Trained in the ways of the Linkers, the seven foot four Nifty has the ability to bond with his weapons and armor on a genetic level, becoming one with them. But before he can hope to win the battle for Submantle's future, he must face a deadly secret that could destroy him, a secret he must learn to accept if he has any hope of surviving what Hadron Drake has planned for our worlds. The first book in the exciting new Submantle series by Patrick Lane.
