📝 Description: Project Threshold: Team Berger: Division 1

Craig Crawford presents Project Threshold: Team Berger: Division 1, a narrative set in a multiverse where barriers between realities are fragile. The story follows Harris Berger and his unit as they intervene against monstrous threats crossing into our world. The team includes Sam, Billy, Jacks, Jessie, and the new recruit Pendelhaven. Their missions involve confronting an unknown advanced civilization and tracking mimics that target homeless individuals on Chicago streets. The plot also addresses the psychological toll of witnessing horrific events, encounters with mermaids in the Midwest, and a disturbing apartment where residents commit suicide without cause. This work appeals to readers who enjoy military-style horror fiction and supernatural thriller elements. It suits those interested in team dynamics under extreme pressure and the exploration of interdimensional dangers. The book does not cater to readers seeking lighthearted fantasy or purely academic historical analysis. Crawford structures the narrative around these specific interventions, focusing on the immediate consequences of breach events rather than broad world-building exposition.
