The Upwelling

The Hidden, Book 1

By: F. Paul Wilson

Narrated by: Joshua Saxon

“Oh, Mrs. Sirman, there’s a problem with your husband’s cremation.”

“What sort of problem?”

“It’s his body.”

“What about it?”

“It won’t burn.”

And so it begins for Pam Sirman…the first step toward learning that everything she thought she knew about her husband is wrong, perhaps even his humanity. But if he's not human, what is he?

Pam is one of three lives that will be drawn together by the apocalypse of the Upwelling.

The other two are Chan and Danni, but their worlds are already in chaos. A few weeks ago a fierce storm accompanied by an upwelling from the Atlantic abyssal plain tore into Atlantic City.

When it receded, the city and its 25,000 inhabitants were gone without a trace.

Chan and Danni remember being in the city that day, but the ten hours during which the Upwelling occurred have been wiped from their memories.

They want those memories back.

Or do they?

Did they witness something so unspeakably ghastly that their minds can’t face it?

Or worse: Was that ghastly thing something they did?

And worst yet: Were they responsible for the Upwelling?

Great Continuation of The Secret History

I listened to the book when it originally came out and it inspired me to go back and reread the Adversary Cycle and Repairman Jack series. After completing those books, I reread this and enjoyed it even more. Narration was solid. On to Lexie!

Could not stop listening

I had given up on F Paul Wilson, not enjoying his recent book series. Based on reviews, I gave this a chance and am so glad I did. Now, the problem is waiting for the next book which I will pre-order as soon as available.

Well written

Keep me guessing all the way through. Great narration. I’ll be looking for more from this author.

Solid cosmic horror

I enjoyed many of this author’s other works so as soon as this one came to my attention I dove right in and loved it! Characters you care for intriguing plot great narration! Highly recommend!

Another solid read from F. Paul Wilson

Narrator did a fine job. A great addition to The Secret History of the World.
