Publisher Description
"Iain Rob Wright scares the hell out of me!" - J.A. Konrath.
Mankind's extinction is about to begin...
When bizarre, immovable black stones appear across the globe, the world's best scientists are baffled. Where did they come from? What is their purpose? When the stones begin to 'wake up' the answers are worse than anyone could have ever imagined.
As global anarchy erupts, US Coast Guard Guy Granger sets off on a desperate journey across the Atlantic to find his children. Elsewhere, Mina Magar is a journalist forced to photograph horrors she can barely believe, while fading pop star Rick Bastion is forced to fight for his survival despite wishing he was dead. When the enemy finally reveals itself, all seems lost.
An apocalyptic saga inspired by such works as Stephen King's the Stand, Brian Keene's the Rising, and Max Brook's World War Z. You'll never see where the story is heading next, so hold on and enjoy the ride.
"Iain Rob Wright is sick and twisted!" - David Moody
"A master of the genre." - Matt Shaw

The gates
Held me in suspense! Was such a fantastic read didn’t see the plot twists . Ian is a great writer. Don’t miss reading this book.
Too much
I tried to read this but why does everyone need a label? Why can’t a woman in Central Park just be a woman? It added nothing to the story to tell us she was lgbtq. She was introduced then killed. This is just one example but I felt the author was trying to tick off all the buzz labels to prove some sort of point. As a member of the lgbtq community myself I am just a person, I don’t need others to validate me let’s just go back to seeing us as people not bonus points.
