Publisher's summary
Most of my friends, along with a large portion of New York City, are dead following the arrival of a bizarre meteor. The otherworldly phenomena brought with it a sickness—a disease—the likes of which this planet has never seen. A nightmarish species of super predator was born that day, something I call the Unseen.
But at least I still have Jill, though, it was close…really close.
Now, my wife and I find ourselves back in our old stomping grounds of South Florida, hellbent on locating our parents. Sadly, our triumphant homecoming doesn’t include a crowd of excited onlookers or even a banner that reads, “Welcome Back Frank and Jill!” What does greet us are the horrors of a ravaged world.
DESOLATION is the second book in international bestselling author Matt James’ action-packed horror-thriller series, The Unseen.
What Amazon readers are saying about The Unseen:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I gave it a 5 and would give it a 10 if possible!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Lots of action and sarcasm. My kind of story!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The main character is hilarious and sucks you in!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Wow! What an action-packed adventure!"

My name is Frank Moon, and I have no idea what to expect next. The Unseen are everywhere. The dead are too. Millions are gone, and I’m doing everything I can to keep my family from becoming a part of the rising death toll. We didn’t find Jill’s parents in Florida, but we’re hopeful they’re still alive and hunkered down in their cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I thought things couldn’t get any worse. Nope, once again, I’m dead wrong. When we arrive on the scene, we discover that a whole new horror awaits us. A handful of the Unseen aren’t just ravenous monsters roaming a ...

From the international bestselling author of The Cursed Thief and The Blood King comes a harrowing thrill ride through an apocalyptic New York City! My name is Frank Moon, and I’m surrounded by death. Until today, I thought I’d seen everything in my time as a cop. Nope, not even close. Believe it or not, a meteor just landed in Central Park!

This was an invasion; the complete and utter recolonization of planet earth had begun.
