Book description
For centuries, their race has lived beneath the earth, emerging only at
night, to feed quietly on the dregs of society and slip back into the
shadows. But now their time has come - their time to rise up from their
hiding places and take back what is theirs.
San Francisco homicide detective Bryan Klauser is supposed to be hunting
a serial killer. But a serial killer couldn't be responsible for the
seemingly impossible DNA evidence the crime-scene techs keep finding -
or for the gory, strangely prophetic dreams Bryan keeps having. And what
about the connections he keeps finding to a century-old cult - and his
superiors' sudden reluctance to give him the answers he needs about
cases that should be dead and buried?
Ultimately, Klauser's investigations will reveal a race of killers
who've long lurked beneath San Francisco's streets - and are preparing
to take back the city. Klauser is the only man who can stop them,
because . . . he might not be a man at all. 'Masterful at grabbing the
reader by the throat and refusing to let go.' A Michigan native and
Newcastle United football fan, Scott Sigler now lives in San Francisco
with his wife and their two dogs. Sigler's debut thriller EarthCore was
the world's first podcast-only novel, picking up 10,000 subscribers. His
next podcast novel, ANCESTOR, saw 700,000 episodes downloaded by fans,
and satellite network Sirius Satellite made it their first serialised
audiobook. To date, Scott's fans have downloaded over 3 million files of
his fiction and his first two printed novels INFECTED and CONTAGIOUS
were published in the UK in 2008 and 2009. A revised and even more
terrifying edition of his thriller ANCESTOR was published for the first
time in the UK in August 2010.
