For fans of Stephen King, Blake Crouch, and Michael Crichton comes a
new, heart-pounding thriller by Brett Battles. Daniel Ash wakes after
midnight to the cry of his daughter. Just a bad dream, he thinks. She's
had them before. Yet he can't help but worry when she cries out again as
he pads down the hallway. Stepping through her doorway, he expects to
find her sitting up in bed, frightened by a nightmare. But the nightmare
is his. It's real. And it's just beginning.... Something is burning
Ash's daughter alive. Something horrible that is spreading beyond the
walls of their home, and taking no prisoners. Thirty seconds later, Ash
will discover his daughter isn't the only one in his family infected,
and as his world spins, coming apart at the seams, a team of armed men
in biohazard suits bursts into his house. But these aren't the good
guys. They haven't come to save Ash's family. They've come to separate
them, to finish what they started. The problem is, Ash refuses to
disappear. He wants only one thing: to find those responsible. Because
humanity is on the brink of execution. And man is pulling the trigger.
