From the mind of Murr from the Impractical Jokers comes the third
book in the hilarious and action-packed series about a world
of bizarre creatures, wacky gadgets, and four kid interns at the
most interesting place on Earth: Area 51! After the shocking
revelation about her long-lost father, Viv, Elijah, Charlotte, and
Ray are determined to save him at any cost. So it's a no-brainer
for them to sneak into one of Area 51's finicky time machines to
try to bring him back. What could go wrong? Well, how about not
being able to track Viv's father through time, almost getting
destroyed by the same meteor that killed the dinosaurs, and being
chased by strange beings that preserve the proper flow of time? And
with her father's life—and their own histories— at stake, Viv
and her friends may be running out of time to set things
right...  This third book in the debut middle-grade
series from Murr of the Impractical Jokers and co-author Carsen
Smith, Area 51 Interns is filled with enough high-tech hijinks,
strange creatures and technology, and laugh-out-loud humor (plus an
extra color insert full of gadgets) to make even Area 51 skeptics
hooked for more!
*** #1 The Sunday Times bestseller *** Publishers Weekly bestseller
"This book is no joke. Get ready to not sleep tonight. Awakened
does exactly what it advertises. Scary amazing fun." -- Brad
Meltzer, bestselling author of The Escape Artist. "Awakened hits
the high notes of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child's Relic and
Scott Snyder's The Wake [...] but its scope actually extends much
further." -- Kirkus *** The star of truTV's hit show Impractical
Jokers-alongside veteran sci-fi and horror writer Darren
Wearmouth-delivers a chilling and wickedly fun supernatural novel
in the vein of The Strain, in which a beautiful new subway line in
New York City unearths an ancient dark horror that threatens the
city's utter destruction and the balance of civilization itself.
After years of waiting, New York's newest subway line is finally
ready, an express train that connects the city with the burgeoning
communities across the Hudson River. The shining jewel of this
state-of-the-art line is a breathtaking visitors' pavilion beneath
the river. Major dignitaries, including New York City's Mayor and
the President of the United States, are in attendance for the
inaugural run, as the first train slowly pulls in. Under the
station's bright ceiling lights, the shiny silver cars gleam. But
as the train comes closer into view, a far different scene becomes
visible. All the train's cars are empty. All the cars' interiors
are drenched in blood. As chaos descends, all those in the pavilion
scramble to get out. But the horror is only beginning. High levels
of deadly methane fill the tunnels. The structure begins to flood.
For those who don't drown, choke or spark an explosion, another
terrifying danger awaits-the thing that killed all those people on
the train. It's out there...and it's coming. There's something
living beneath New York City, and it's not happy we've woken it up.
"Scary amazing fun."-Brad Meltzer Evils both above and below ground
arise once again, threatening the world and all its inhabitants
with extinction in this electrifying science fiction thriller-the
final novel set in the Awakened universe-from the #1
internationally bestselling author and star of television's
Impractical Jokers and a bestselling science fiction writer. Thanks
to the heroics of former New York City Mayor Tom Cafferty and his
team, the world is once again safe. The villainous Foundation for
Human Advancement has been dismantled, the cities of the world are
safe from nuclear annihilation, and Cafferty is now on a hunt to
decimate every nest of creatures on the planet. When Cafferty
enters a nest underneath the Nevada desert, he is horrified to find
it completely empty. It can only mean one thing: the battle for
survival is not over. Across the planet, creatures are emerging
from their subterranean homes. Now, the all-out war against
humanity has begun-a war in which only one apex species will
survive. Humankind has finally met its match. Cafferty knows that
only one man can help him stop the onslaught. A man who is despised
by the world. A man who has already caused the death of millions. A
man who is a sworn enemy hell-bent on taking Tom Cafferty down
forever: Albert Van Ness. But even this desperate move may not be
enough to stop the creatures and save humanity . . .
“Murray and Wearmouth’s latest THE BRINK is a white-knuckled
rollercoaster. This novel is chocked full of everything I love:
strange creatures, a world teetering on the edge, and heroes who
I’d want at my side during any firefight. This isn’t just a
story hopped on steroids—but one injected with nitrous and
blazing on all cylinders. Give me more!” —James Rollins, #1 New
York Times bestseller of Crucible The sequel to the international
bestseller (including #1 Sunday Times bestseller) Awakened, by one
of the stars of TruTV’s Impractical Jokers and a bestselling
science fiction author. Former NYC Mayor Tom Cafferty has been
haunted by the horror of a single day. The opening of the brand new
Z-train subway line beneath the Hudson River—the supposed shining
moment of his tenure. But the ribbon-cutting ceremony turned deadly
when the train carrying Cafferty’s wife and other citizens was
attacked by a horde of hyper intelligent, bloodthirsty creatures
previously unknown to humanity. Everything changed for Cafferty,
ex-NYPD officer Sarah Bowcut, and tech-expert Diego Munoz that day.
They had uncovered the deadly truth: the attack was no accident.
And now the creatures that wreaked havoc underneath New York have
spread worldwide, and with a massive cover-up—and a secret
organization holding nations hostage with the knowledge of how to
kill them—Cafferty’s team must fight against impossible odds to
save the entire planet from an apocalyptic scale disaster. An
explosive and thrilling international adventure, the stakes are
even higher in the latest book from bestselling duo James S. Murray
and Darren Wearmouth!
