Sixteen-year-old Wick Vale was dead. Then he woke up.
Wick grew up on Genesis, a military space station where children are trained to fight and taught that Earth died 150 years ago. When an emergency transport sends him crashing into the ruins of Boston, he discovers the truth: Earth survived, and so did its people.
Zombies roam the streets. Survivors have built underground factions where blood is currency and trust can get you killed. Somewhere in the ruins is a fragmented file that could explain what happened to Earth, and why Wick was sent there.
Now everyone wants something from him.
Some want answers. Others want him dead. And the only person who seems willing to help is Rowan Clarke, a survivor who knows more about Earth than Wick ever imagined possible.
Then Wick discovers that someone else is watching him. An artificial intelligence living inside a 150-year-old corpse.
Wick Vale was born to save humanity. He’s just not sure they’re worth his life. He’s learning that heroes don’t always get to choose how they die.
The first children disappear. The second children forget. The third children fight back.
Eleven-year-old Flynn Winston and his friends, the self-proclaimed Monster Club, spend their summers chasing ghost stories around Fairhaven, Massachusetts.
Then, over Labor Day weekend in 1980, Ricky Brenton, a gifted student at the elite Fort Tabor Academy, disappears.
Suddenly, the Monster Club has a real mystery to solve.
Their search leads them to Charlie Bennett, a quiet boy with a strange brand burned into his neck, and to something beneath Fairhaven that shouldn’t exist. Strange sounds echo through the streets. Shadows move where they shouldn’t. Time doesn’t always behave the way it should.
As Flynn and his friends follow Ricky’s trail, they uncover secrets buried beneath Fort Tabor Academy and realize Ricky’s disappearance may be connected to something much older than their town.
Something is waking up beneath Fairhaven.
And the Monster Club may be the only thing standing between it and the children of the town.
