Perseverance
My name is Frank Moon, and I have no idea what to expect next.
The Unseen are everywhere. The dead are too. Millions are gone, and I’m doing everything I can to keep my family from becoming a part of the rising death toll.
Desolation
My name is Frank Moon, and my life is completely in the toilet.
Most of my friends, along with a large portion of New York City, are dead following the arrival of a bizarre meteor. The otherworldly phenomena brought with it a sickness—a disease—the likes of which this planet has never seen. A nightmarish species of super predator was born that day, something I call the Unseen.
Empire Lost
The Lost City of Z. The fabled Amazonian city Percy Fawcett ultimately died to find.
Zahra Kane believes it exists, and she wants to find it.
Will Zahra confirm the existence of Z, or will she share Fawcett’s fate and succumb to the perils of the rainforest?
Origin
My name is Frank Moon, and I’m surrounded by death.
Until today, I thought I’d seen everything in my time as a cop. Nope, not even close. Believe it or not, a meteor just landed in Central Park! The damn thing brought along a hellish radiation too. The strobing red emission has altered the genetic code of the people who witnessed it enter Earth’s atmosphere. Lucky for me, I was too busy binge-watching my favorite TV show or I would’ve shared their terrible fate.
The Anubis Plague
An ancient secret. A faction of killers. A deadly book.
Zahra Kane is a brilliant and daring archaeologist. The former British Army Intelligence Linguist has used her fluency in a laundry list of languages, as well as her combat training, to succeed at the highest level. The intrepid adventurer isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty or blow past the point of no return to obtain her prize.
Late one night, she receives a frantic phone call from her estranged brother, an Egyptologist who’s been tasked with examining a newly discovered tomb and the prize it contains: the original Book of the Dead — a scroll made of human skin and penned in human blood.
