“A fun and exciting read . . . Perfect for fans of complex series heroes like Jack Reacher and Joe Ledger, with a dash of Dan Brown sensibility” (Booklist). Jake Carter is a subway electrician in New York City—but his previous employment was in Special Forces. One day, he finds two young men spraying graffiti across the subway station walls, and realizes their marks aren’t gang tags or band names—they are a message, a call to arms spelled out in a lost language . . . The Hidden are communicating with each other. The end of the world has arrived, and it’s being orchestrated by those unseen—for profit. Carter finds himself dragged into a world of menace by a woman he hasn’t spoken to in over a decade. His ex-girlfriend Sandra is one of the few who knows what’s going on, and she has just turned against her paymasters. As they run for their lives, as dogs howl in the streets and birds fall from the sky, and even the sun starts to dim, as terrorists take out a Brooklyn army base, they must figure out how to fight an enemy they cannot see, how to stop some of the richest and most powerful men in the world, and how to stay alive when the world around them is dying . . . “[A] scary conspiracy thriller . . .

Steven Savile returns to the world of Glass Town with this gritty new fantasy where reluctant hero Julie Gennaro will combat a forgotten god.Every legend promises the same thing: at the time of the land's greatest need the heroes shall return. What they don't mention is that we are the greatest threat our green and pleasant land has ever known. In the legends, saving the land never involves the slaughter of its inhabitants. Legends lie. In a single night six girls who have never met and bear no relation to each other are struck down by a mysterious sickness that leaves them in persistent vegetative state. Across the city an old woman who hasn't opened her eyes in years finally wakes. Her first words are: The Horned God is Awake. One for one. The message was seared into the floor, along with all of the craziness a hundred year old obsession had amassed. With the children disappearing across the city, two men are about to learn the terrible truth behind those three words. They are all that stand between our world and the cleansing fire of the once and future king. The question our heroes must answer: how do you kill a god the world has forgotten about?
