Publisher's summary

For fans of Stephen King, Blake Crouch, and Michael Crichton comes a new, heart-pounding thriller by Brett Battles.

Daniel Ash wakes after midnight to the cry of his daughter. Just a bad dream, he thinks. She's had them before. Yet he can't help but worry when she cries out again as he pads down the hallway. Stepping through her doorway, he expects to find her sitting up in bed, frightened by a nightmare. But the nightmare is his. It's real. And it's just beginning....

Something is burning Ash's daughter alive. Something horrible that is spreading beyond the walls of their home, and taking no prisoners. Thirty seconds later, Ash will discover his daughter isn't the only one in his family infected, and as his world spins, coming apart at the seams, a team of armed men in biohazard suits bursts into his house. But these aren't the good guys. They haven't come to save Ash's family. They've come to separate them, to finish what they started. The problem is, Ash refuses to disappear. He wants only one thing: to find those responsible. Because humanity is on the brink of execution. And man is pulling the trigger.

Critic reviews

"Like a fever, Sick makes you sweat and keeps you up all night, wondering what the hell is happening. It'll make your heart race like someone shot you with an EpiPen. You think Battles was badass before? He just cranked it up to 500 joules. CLEAR!" (popculturenerd.com)

Too boring

The narration and voices was well enough so maybe it was the actual writing that was a bit dull. All kind of matter of factual and shallow I think. And the face change was a big face palm. Thats just silly and unnecessary. Have no idea why it was included in the story.

This was an OUTSTANDING series!!

This was an OUTSTANDING series that made me grab the next book in the series well before I was done with the previous... I did this so I would not miss a beat in the story... It was so compelling, and quite original in its overall plot, I thought... Do yourself a favor, and start with "Sick" the first in the series, and then don't stop until you get to "Down" the seventh and "final?" installment... You will NOT regret it!!

Enthralling

Started after Jonathan Quinn series. Thrilling plot. Can't wait to hear book 2 in this series.

Loved it to End

I loved the narrative. great story. made time pass too quickly.
was bummed this one ended

Great story, action packed!

This is my first book by Brett Bittles
It was done extremely well. It was exciting and logical. I also appreciated that there wasn't profanity. Most action books written at this time use profanity like children with candy, which shows a lack of talent, imagination and poor vocabulary. But this book is the opposite. It grabbed my attention from page one till the end. I hope his other books are just as well written. If you are looking for an action packed and exciting book, this is the one!

A really engaging and entertaining book

I really loved the book. It had me hooked from the start. And the narrator was very talented and capable.

Great book!

I hope the others in the series are just as good. Not to be morbid but I would like to see what happens is the virus gets out.

Very Good Read

Non stop, edge of your seat stuff. The author made old subject matter new and exciting. Never a dull chapter.

Thriller
