Perseverance

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

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

Empire Lost

The Lost City of Z. The fabled Amazonian city Percy Fawcett ultimately died to find.

Origin

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

The Anubis Plague

An ancient secret. A faction of killers. A deadly book.

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.
