The Quieting - Paperback

The world didn't end. It synchronized.

When a routine emergency broadcast test sends a mysterious signal across the country, people freeze mid-motion-heads turning west as if listening to something no one else can hear. Minutes later, the biting begins.

Paramedic Jonah Vale should have died the night the outbreak started. Instead, the bite changes him. The infected hesitate around him. They move past him like water around stone.

They don't recognize him as prey. Or as human.

As cities collapse and terrifying new mutations emerge, survivor Mara Caldwell fights to keep a fragile group alive in a world where night belongs to the dead and danger lurks in every shadow. But the infected are not acting randomly. Strange subsonic pulses known as Calls are drawing them into massive migrations, turning entire cities into hunting grounds overnight.

And Jonah is beginning to hear the signal.

As fear spreads faster than infection and humans begin hunting anyone who might be "changed," a terrifying truth emerges: the outbreak was never an accident.

It was a test.

And Jonah may be the first successful result.

Perfect for fans of The Last of Us, World War Z, The Walking Dead, and Z Nation, The Quieting is a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller about survival, evolution, and the terrifying possibility that the end of humanity may only be the beginning of something else.
