Most careers begin with an interview and a handshake. Others
require a little ... something more. Meet Jake Oliver. The day will
come when he's one of the best cleaners in the business, a man
skilled at making bodies disappear. At the moment, however, he's a
twenty-two year old rookie cop, unaware his life is about to
change. In a burning barn a body is found--and the fire isn't the
cause of death. The detectives working the case have a pretty good
idea about what went down. But Officer Oliver thinks it's something
else entirely, and pursues a truth others would prefer remain
hidden--others who will go to extreme lengths to keep him quiet.
Every identity has an origin. This is Quinn's.
He thought his final assignment would be simple: Transport a
package from Japan to Amsterdam. But for Orlando's mentor, Abraham,
the job was not at all like he expected and ended up haunting him.
Seven years later, Quinn and Orlando know something is up when
Abraham asks for a favor. At his age, he should be sitting on a
beach, enjoying his retirement, not working. After he tells them of
his search for the last package he ever delivered, they help him
unravel the truth, but soon realize they can't simply look for
answers. They must also protect the package, no matter the cost.
They just need to find it first.

From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Ashes, the
fourth book in the continuing Project Eden thriller saga. The
hammer has fallen. The deadly Sage Flu has been unleashed. The
scramble for survival is in full force. Martina Gable and her
family escaped to a secluded mountain cabin in hopes of avoiding
the death sweeping the desert valley below, but have they gone far
enough? Dominic Ray, manager of a tropical, private island resort,
has a dream job. The weather, the food, the drinks, the people-life
couldn't be better. What he doesn't expect-what no one could have
expected-is that his good life is about to disappear. In a sea of
the sick and dying, Sanjay and Kusum desperately search for a place
beyond Mumbai where they and the group they are leading can be
safe, and where they can prepare for what the future may bring.
Brandon Ash wants nothing more than to be with his father and
sister, but there is something waiting for him on a deserted,
snow-covered highway. Something that may mean the reunion will
never happen. As Daniel Ash, Brandon's father, lies unconscious
from the serious wounds he suffered while hunting for his son, his
daughter Josie realizes it's up to her to find her brother and
bring him home. But the search will be a dangerous one, that will
take her far from home. And then there is Project Eden, watching
the plague kill as they had planned, even as they prepare to
activate the next phase. What will you do to survive? Ashes is best
read after completing volumes 1-3 (Sick, Exit 9, and Pale Horse)
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. WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT SICK: "Brett
Battles is a master of the thriller genre. SICK not only grabs you
by the throat, but by the heart and gut as well, and by the time
you finish you feel as if you've just taken a runaway train through
dangerous territory. Buy this book now. You won't regret
it."-Robert Browne, author of THE PARADISE PROPHECY. "Like a fever,
SICK makes you sweat and keeps you up all night, wondering what the
hell is happening. It'll make your heart race like someone shot you
with an EpiPen. You think Battles was badass before? He just
cranked it up to 500 joules. CLEAR "-popculturenerd.com "SICK is
Brett Battles at his best (which is saying a great deal), a
thriller that also chills, with a secret at its core that's almost
too scary to be contained within the covers of a book. As always,
Battles juggles plot lines with the best of them, and his
characters jump off the page. SICK deserves to be a
best-seller."-Tim Hallinan, author of the Edgar nominated THE QUEEN
OF PATPONG PRAISE FOR BRETT BATTLES' JONATHAN QUINN SERIES: "Brett
Battles has established himself as one of today's best thriller
writers, right up there with Lee Child, Barry Eisler, and Thomas
Perry."-Deadly Pleasures magazine "The best word I can use to
describe his writing is addictive."-James Rollins, author of the
Sigma Force series "Quinn is one part James Bond, one part Jason
Bourne."-Nashville Book Worm "I'm on the edge of my seat, awaiting
future installments of Quinn's Adventures."-Jeffery Deaver, author
of the Lincoln Rhyme's series "Battles has a true gift for writing
thrillers..."-Crimespree magazine "The action is heart-pounding,
gripping, and always engaging."-Tucson Citizen "Battles is a master
storyteller."-Sheldon Siegel, author of PERFECT ALIBI

From thriller and suspense master Brett Battles comes Dream Sky,
the sixth book in the continuing Project Eden thriller saga. A hush
has settled over the planet. The once dominant human race is in
full retreat. But man is not yet defeated. Augustine dream sky.
These were Matt Hamilton's last words. Daniel Ash has no idea what
they mean, but he's sure they are key to defeating Project Eden.
His only hope is that he's able to figure out the secret in time.
The survivors on Isabella Island are surrounded by death, and need
to get off the island before the flu can claim them, too. But there
are not enough boats at the resort to get everyone to safety. The
only solution involves a risky trip to the mainland that may be
even more dangerous than remaining on the island. In Mumbai,
Sanjay's friends watch as the Project Eden survival station is
abandoned. Curious, they search the facility once everyone has
left. They expect to find very little, and at first they are right.
But only at first. Ben Bowerman's search for his girlfriend,
Martina Gable, takes him to the only place left he thinks she can
be. When he gets there, he's hurled into the unexpected, where he
begins to see the truth of what is really going on, and knows if he
doesn't do something drastic, his days are numbered. And in an
idyllic town covered by a blanket of snow, all is quiet. Except for
the rotating squad of soldiers who watch and wait for a problem
they believe becomes more and more unlikely as each day passes. The
world, after all, is quickly depleting. But they are wrong. Eden
Rising is best read after completing volumes 1-5 (Sick, Exit 9,
Pale Horse, Ashes, and Eden Rising)
