The party uses these clues to divine Hunter’s route into the jungle, where they discover a surviving offshoot of a primitive tribe, long thought to be extinct, and something infinitely more sinister, something that’s been able to avoid discovery for eons for one simple reason...

#1 Amazon Bestselling Author More than seventy years ago, five Nazi scientists embarked upon an expedition into the frozen Himalayas in search of the origins of the Aryan race. What they found instead was something beyond their wildest imaginations, a secret they would sooner take to their graves than risk releasing upon an unsuspecting world. Now nearly a hundred years old, Johann Brandt, the lone surviving member of the original party, shares his discovery with Jordan Brooks, an evolutionary anthropologist, who launches his own expedition into one of the most dangerous environments on the face of the planet in search of the evidence Brandt claims to have left behind. If Brooks and his team hope to find the proof, they’ll have to follow the historical footsteps of the Germans into the hunting grounds of a species that evolved in utter geographical isolation, and their only hope for survival lies in uncovering the truth about the ill-fated Nazi expedition…for those who don’t learn from the past are doomed to repeat it.

Fearful Symmetry

#1 Amazon Bestselling Author Arizona shares nearly four hundred miles of international border with Mexico, thirty-six of which are completely unfortified. On one side lies desperation; on the other, opportunity. Tens of thousands of undocumented aliens pass through these thirty-six miles every year, only to find one of the harshest and most inhospitable deserts on the planet waiting for them. Hundreds die walking, casualties of the merciless sun, their bodies never to be identified. Others simply set out across the red Sonoran sands and vanish into thin air, as though they never existed at all. Special Agent Lukas Walker is assigned to investigate a murder, the only evidence of which is a twenty-foot design painted on a rock formation in the victim’s blood. He quickly learns that if the heat doesn’t get you…The Coyote will. Includes a free bonus novella: The Calm Before the Swarm. PRAISE FOR MICHAEL McBRIDE "The Coyote is a significant book, and comes highly recommended." – Twilight Ridge “Hillerman fans will love it!” - Jeff Strand, Author of Pressure “McBride writes with a rare confidence, and his story will thrill you to your reptilian core!” - Tim Lebbon, author of Echo City and Fallen “Michael McBride literally stunned me with his enigmatic talent and kept me hanging on right up until the end.” - Midwest Book Review "Get ready for a wild ride! With his latest thriller, McBride delivers on all fronts – suspense, action, intrigue, unexpected twists, and a villain who makes Hannibal Lector look like a Boy Scout. Toss in a sweltering Arizona desert and a cast of characters who each have a secret agenda, and you’ve got The Coyote – one of the best books you’ll read this year." - JG Faherty, Bram Stoker-nominated author of Ghosts of Coronado Bay, Cemetery Club, and Carnival of Fear. “The Coyote is an engrossing thriller with a fascinating central character. Native-American FBI agent Lukas Walker has a wry, gritty voice that immediately compels readers to follow him on the dark trail of a serial killer. The mystery is intricate and involving, with surprising revelations at the character level, and many tense scenes as Walker digs deeper into the killer’s lair. There are effective moments of horror throughout, as we expect from Michael McBride—author of such books as Bloodletting and Burial Ground—but The Coyote is first-and-foremost a detective thriller. This book is sure to earn McBride many new fans—and we’ll all be demanding further adventures featuring Lukas Walker.” - Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Invisible Fences and Four Legs in the Morning "Every time I read a new book from Michael McBride I come away more impressed. He seemingly moves effortlessly between genres, producing chilling horrors, incredibly imaginative science fiction and fantasy, and top notch crime stories. With his newest novel, The Coyote, McBride gives us an edge of your seat nail-biter that is part police procedural and a dark thriller that actually manages to thrill. I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down. I personally think it may be his best effort yet; and that’s saying a lot. Trust me on this – The Coyote has bite! Highly recommended!" - Gord Rollo, Author of The Jigsaw Man and Valley Of The Scarecrow

THEY ARE NOT HUMAN. At a research station in Antarctica, five of the world’s top scientists have been brought together to solve one of the greatest mysteries in human history. Their subject, however, is anything but human . . . THEY ARE NOT NATURAL. Deep beneath the ice, the submerged ruins of a lost civilization hold the key to the strange mutations that each scientist has encountered across the globe: A misshapen skull in Russia. The grotesque carvings of a lost race in Peru. The mummified remains of a humanoid monstrosity in Egypt . . . THEY ARE NOT FRIENDLY. When a series of sound waves trigger the ancient organisms, a new kind of evolution begins. Latching onto a human host—crossbreeding with human DNA—a long-extinct life form is reborn. Its kind has not walked the earth for thousands of years. Its instincts are fiercer, more savage, than any predator alive. And its prey are the scientists who unleashed it, the humans who spawned it, and the tender living flesh on which it feeds . . . Praise for Michael McBride “A fast-paced and frightening ride. Highly recommended for fans of creature horror and the thrillers of Michael Crichton.”—The Horror Review on PREDATORY INSTINCT “McBride writes with the perfect mixture of suspense and horror that keeps the reader on edge.” —Examiner “This novel is for everyone who’s still a little scared of the dark . . . a very good sci-fi/thriller; I’ll read whatever McBride writes next.” —Ken Raymond, The Oklahoman on Subhuman

“McBride writes with the perfect mixture of suspense and horror that keeps the reader on edge.” —Examiner IT HAS SURVIVED At a research station in Antarctica, scientists discovered a strange and ancient organism. They thought they could study it, classify it, control it. They couldn’t. IT HAS THRIVED Six months ago, a secret paramilitary team called Unit 51 was sent to the station. They thought the creature was dead, the nightmare was over. It wasn’t. IT HAS EVOLVED In a Mexican temple, archeologists uncover the remains of a half-human hybrid. They believe it is related to the creature in Antarctica, a dark thing of legend that is still alive—and still evolving. They believe it needs a new host to feed, to mutate, to multiply. They’re right. And they’re next. And the human race might just be headed for extinction . . . “Highly recommended for fans of creature horror and the thrillers of Michael Crichton.” —The Horror Review “Thriller powerhouse McBride begins his Unit 51 series . . . neatly executes a sudden shift of mood and tone toward frantic horror when the story flips into a race to escape from savage human-alien hybrid predators in a confined space, evoking feelings of shock and terror.” —Publishers Weekly on Subhuman “This novel is for everyone who’s still a little scared of the dark . . . a very good sci-fi/thriller; I’ll read whatever McBride writes next.” —Ken Raymond, The Oklahoman on Subhuman.
