Eversion is a superb, original Gothic SF novel. A small group of intrepid explorers is in search of a remote and mysterious artefact. It's a well-funded expedition, well organized, which is lucky as they're sailing north of Bergen on the schooner Demeter, searching for a narrow inlet that will lead them to a vast uncharted lake—and their goal.

Until disaster strikes. Doctor Silas Coade wakes from disturbing dreams, on the steamship Demeter, in pursuit of an extraordinary find almost too incredible and too strange to believe, secreted within a lagoon in the icy inlets of Patagonia. But as they come in sight of their prize, he and the crew see they are not the first to come so far: there is a wreck ahead, and whatever ruined it may threaten them as well.

Shaking off his nightmares, Doctor Silas Coade joins his fellow explorers on the deck of the zeppelin Demeter and realizes something has already gone dangerously wrong with their mission. If any of them are to survive, then he will have to take the exploration—and their lives—into his own hands.

The crew of the Demeter is a diverse group of individuals, each with their own motivations and secrets. Captain Marcus is a seasoned explorer who is driven by a desire for adventure and discovery. He is a firm believer in the power of science and technology and is determined to find the artefact at all costs.

Doctor Silas Coade is a brilliant scientist who is haunted by the memory of his wife's death. He has devoted his life to the study of the paranormal and is convinced that the artefact is connected to a mysterious force that has been haunting the region for centuries.

Lieutenant Jane Harper is a skilled navigator who is loyal to the captain and the crew. She is a fierce fighter and is willing to do whatever it takes to protect her fellow explorers.

Mr. Smith is a wealthy businessman who has funded the expedition in exchange for a share of the artefact. He is a mysterious figure who is known to have connections to the dark underworld and is willing to do anything to get his hands on the treasure.

As the expedition progresses, tensions rise between the crew members escalate. Captain Marcus becomes increasingly obsessed with finding the artefact, while Doctor Silas Coade becomes more concerned with the potential danger that the expedition poses. Lieutenant Jane Harper tries to keep the peace, but her loyalty to the captain is tested when he orders her to take risks that she is not comfortable with.

Meanwhile, the wreck ahead of them becomes more and more mysterious. The crew discovers that it is the remnants of a zeppelin that had been searching for the same artefact centuries ago. The ship was wrecked in a storm, and its crew was never heard from again.

As they continue their search, the crew of the Demeter begins to experience strange phenomena. They hear strange noises in the night, see strange lights in the sky, and feel an eerie presence that seems to be following them. They soon realize that they are not alone in the world and that the artefact they are searching for is not just a treasure, but a powerful force that could destroy everything in its path.

In a final, desperate attempt to save themselves and the world, the crew of the Demeter must confront the mysterious force that has been haunting them. They must use all of their skills and resources to find the artefact and prevent it from falling into the wrong hands.

Eversion is a thrilling and suspenseful adventure that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. It is a masterfully written novel that combines elements of science fiction, horror, and mystery to create a truly unique and unforgettable experience.
