Close To The Sun

But instead of a Randian dystopia undersea, journalist Rose Archer is visiting the ocean city of Helios, a golden paradise created by Nikola Tesla, here a successful visionary rather than doomed inventor. But when she arrives, the halls are empty, the stench of rotting flesh lingers in the air and a single word is painted across the entrance: Quarantine.
