The #1 New York Times best-selling author of Infected delivers medieval carnage as a pre-industrial society fights extinction at the hands of a massive infestation of Xenomorphs.
Ataegina was an isolated world of medieval castles and rich cultures - vibrant until the demons rose and slaughtered ninety percent of the planet s population. Swarms of lethal creatures with black husks, murderous claws, barbed tails and dreaded "tooth-tongues" rage across the land. Terrified survivors hide in ruined mountain keeps, where they eke out a meager existence. Skilled runners travel the treacherous paths between keeps, maintaining trade and sharing information. If caught, they die screaming.
Ahiliyah of Lemeth Hold is an exceptional runner, constantly risking her life for her people. When she and her closest companions discover a new weapon, it may offer the one last chance to end the demon plague. But to save humanity, the trio must fight their way to the tunnels of Black Smoke Mountain - the lair of the mythical Demon Mother.

Set in a lethal pro football league 700 years in the future, "The
Rookie" is a story that combines the intense gridiron action of
"Any Given Sunday" with the space opera style of "Star Wars" and
the criminal underworld of "The Godfather." Aliens and humans alike
play positions based on physiology, creating receivers that jump 25
feet into the air, linemen that bench-press 1,200 pounds, and
linebackers that literally want to eat you. Organized crime runs
every franchise, games are fixed, and rival players are
assassinated. Follow the story of Quentin Barnes, a
nineteen-year-old quarterback prodigy that has been raised all his
life to hate, and kill, those aliens. Quentin must deal with his
racism and learn to lead, or he'll wind up just another stat in the
column marked "killed on the field."
Set in a lethal American professional football league seven
centuries in the future, "The MVP" puts huge humans on the field
with four alien races, creating a game that is faster, stronger,
and deadlier than anything we know today. Star quarterback Quentin
Barnes has spent three seasons putting together a hard-hitting,
hard-fighting team that combines rookies, rejects, discarded free
agents, and seasoned veterans from all five species. He has fought
against racism and bound his team together through shared
sacrifice, blood, tragedy, and victory.
A terrifying thriller that will crawl beneath your skin . . . and
leave fresh blood on every page.
A mysterious disease is turning thousands of ordinary Americans
into raving, paranoid murderers who inflict brutal horrors on
strangers, their own families, and even themselves. And one
morning, ex-football star Perry Dawsey awakens to find mysterious
welts growing all over his body. Soon Perry finds himself acting
and thinking strangely, hearing voices, fighting uncontrollable
rage . . . he is infected. Worse, the disease wants something from
him, something that could alter the fate of the human race.
Scott Sigler is the voice in modern horror - and the INFECTED
trilogy is a terrifying, menacing series that will leave you
sleepless. The alien intelligence that unleashed two horrific
assaults on humanity has been destroyed. But before it was brought
down in flames, it launched one last payload - a tiny
soda-can-sized canister filled with germs engineered to wreak new
forms of havoc on the human race. That harmless-looking canister
has languished under thousands of feet of water for years,
undisturbed and impotent . . . until now. Days after the new
disease is unleashed, a quarter of the human race is infected.
Entire countries have fallen. And our planet's fate now rests on a
small group of unlikely heroes, racing to find a cure before the
enemies surrounding them can close in.
"Scott Sigler reinvented the alien-invasion story in his
bestselling novels "Infected" and "Contagious.".. rebooted the
biotech thriller in "Ancestor."..now, in his most ambitious,
sweeping novel to date, he works his magic on the paranormal
thriller, taking us inside a terrifying underworld of subterranean
predators that only his twisted mind could invent."
Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind.
How else to explain the dreams he keeps having--dreams that
mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders
taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the
"feelings "these dreams provoke in him--not disgust, not horror,
but "excitement?"
As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence "Pookie" Chang,
investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger
than they at first seem. For the victims are all enemies of a
seemingly ordinary young boy--a boy who is gripped by the same
dreams that haunt Bryan. Meanwhile, a shadowy vigilante, seemingly
armed with superhuman powers, is out there killing the killers. And
Bryan and Pookie's superiors--from the mayor on down--seem
strangely eager to keep the detectives from discovering the truth.
Doubting his own sanity and stripped of his badge, Bryan begins to
suspect that he's stumbled into the crosshairs of a shadow war that
has gripped his city for more than a century--a war waged by a race
of killers living in San Francisco's unknown, underground ruins,
emerging at night to feed on those who will not be missed.
And as Bryan learns the truth about his own intimate connections
to the killings, he discovers that those who matter most to him are
in mortal danger...and that he may be the only man gifted--or
cursed--with the power to do battle with the "nocturnals. "
Featuring a dazzlingly plotted mystery and a terrifying descent
into a nightmarish underworld--along with some of the most
incredible action scenes ever put to paper, and an explosive,
gut-wrenching conclusion you won't soon forget--"Nocturnal "is the
most spectacular outing to date from one of the genre's brightest
stars.
