A novel that weaves together Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft, and a twenty-first century perspective on oncology. GOD CANCER follows the adventures of Dr. Miles Trewick and Dr. Gail Pym. Trewick is an oncologist, attempting to secretly cure the advanced cancer of a billionaire, using techniques so sketchy he's only willing to attempt them on a yacht in international waters. Pym is a paleontologist, leading a team past an Antarctic range known as "the Mountains of Madness" on a mission to reach an alien city and upend everything humanity thinks they know about their place in the world. Each is on a collision course for a hellish revelation.
Author
Greg Stolze (born 1970) is an American novelist and writer, whose work has mainly focused on properties derived from role-playing games. Stolze has contributed to numerous role-playing game books for White Wolf Game Studio and Atlas Games, including Demon: the Fallen. Some of Stolze's recent work has been self-published using the "ransom method", whereby the game is only released when enough potential buyers have contributed enough money to reach a threshold set by the author. Together with John Tynes he created and wrote the role-playing game Unknown Armies, published by Atlas Games. He has also co-written the free game NEMESIS, which uses the One-Roll Engine presented in Godlike and the so called Madness Meter derived from Unknown Armies.
