“Awakened is a good old-fashioned monster story with devious new
twists. Creepy and disturbing in all the right ways!”
*Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of
Glimpse and V-Wars*
“Awakened is a taughtly written, brilliantly unexpected thriller
from authorial duo James S. Murray and Darren Wearmouth [...]
Awakened hits the high notes of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child’s
Relic and Scott Snyder’s The Wake [...] but its scope actually
extends much further.”
*Kirkus Reviews*
“Murray and coauthor Wearmouth [...] sculpt a briskly moving
narrative that includes a plethora of short-burst action sequences
and pacing fit for a Brad Meltzer novel. Along the way, they plant
the seeds for sequels and craft a tight, pulse-pounding story that
practically cries out for a film adaptation.”
*Booklist*
“A great book with both science fiction and horror elements, along
with some mystery. I highly recommend this.”
*SciFiMoviePage*
“This book is no joke. Get ready to not sleep tonight. Awakened
does exactly what it advertises. Scary amazing fun.”
*Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Escape Artist*
