"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 . . . Clever." —Publishers Weekly "Any readers who have been fans of Dan Brown's conspiracies will enjoy Savile, who is a master of his craft." —New York Journal of Books "Quite entertaining . . . Will grab your attention and keep you turning the pages as you attempt to figure out how our heroes will escape the traps set for them." —East Niagara Post
