About this audiobook
What’s Beneath the Red Dust Can Kill
Deep beneath the Australian Outback, a forgotten bacteria lies dormant—forgotten by humanity and the ones who swore to remember it. Hidden for centuries, it’s about to resurface, and the world isn’t ready.
Poppy Geordanis thought her new job as head chef at a remote research station would be a dream come true: a chance to escape family pressure, explore her culinary passion, and live off the grid. But twenty floors underground, her dream turns into a nightmare.
When an armed mercenary force invades the station, Poppy is thrown into a deadly game of survival. With the help of her best friend Amber, scientist Gary, and head of security Jonah, she must protect her friends and colleagues while unraveling the secrets of the station’s research. But danger lurks in every corner—not just from the invaders, but from within.
As alliances shift and hidden motives come to light, Poppy suspects that the charming chemist Nick isn’t who he claims to be—and Jonah might be hiding secrets of his own. With lives on the line, Poppy must make impossible choices. Can she outwit the mercenaries and uncover the truth about the bacteria before it’s too late?
For fans of action thrillers with a touch of suspense and romance, The Research Station will keep you on the edge of your seat. Get your copy today and discover the secrets beneath the red dust.
