Fraud, Gluttony & Greed in the second book of We Are Legion - One Supernatural Day in Thacker Pass by J.A. Kampton. Wiley Gomez is wandering about in a lithium mine with his father, his girlfriend Rebecca, and a tight little group, as unexplained explosions shake the site around them. Lucia, their alien guide, says a buried spacecraft is the source of the disturbances. As they move deeper, they discover sealed corridors, missing workers, and a vast artificial structure hidden below Thacker Pass. The deeper they go, the weirder it gets, with Lucia directing them through unfamiliar technology, insisting that access and timing matter. Wiley discovers that his own biology allows him to open barriers and systems that reject everyone else, making him essential to whatever lies ahead. What begins as a cooperative descent becomes something far more dangerous when a massive, unexpected betrayal reshapes the situation and turns the underground structure into a closed environment of pursuit, captivity, and power.

Fraud, Gluttony & Greed by J.A. Kampton takes a sharp turn underground and never pretends the ride will be easy. What starts as a walk through a Nevada lithium mine turns into a locked maze built around a buried spacecraft, where access depends less on tools and more on biology. The book earns its humor by letting serious situations collide with awkward human behavior. A chase through alien corridors pauses so characters can argue about tampon disposal as a tactical choice. A fake warning about Beetlejuice becomes a last-ditch survival move. The wit works because it shows up when things are going badly, not when it is safe. The story also trusts the reader to keep up. Late in the book, the hieroglyphic door that only Wiley can read turns pattern recognition into a literal survival skill, not a metaphor. The result is smart, strange, and confident enough to let jokes sit next to real danger.
