Reminiscent of the best novels of
Stephen King and Dean Koontz, AFRAID is the first novel from
Headline's newest thriller author. The idyllic town of Safe
Haven , Wisconsin is a blueprint for your average mid-Western
U.S. town - friendly, law-abiding and peaceful, you couldn't
find a nicer place to live. Then during one long night,
everything changes. A troop of elite and ruthless international
soldiers crash land in the town and it becomes immediately
apparent to some of its inhabitants that the soldiers are bent
on destruction. Terrifyingly ruthless, trained in unimaginable
tortures and implanted with a computer chip outlining their
mission, their only goals are to isolate, terrorize and
annihilate their way to their quarry. Only then will their
mission be complete. As the townspeople start to die in
shockingly vicious and gruesome ways, the US government
quarantines the town, and its remaining inhabitants are left
with only one choice if they want to survive the night fight
back or die trying. Unputdownable, addictive, and shocking,
AFRAID is a heart-poundingly, adrenalin-fuelled novel
guaranteed to send chills down your spine.
