"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

#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

"Daoist taijiquan adheres to roundness, the circular symbolizing movement and exercise, and the key to opening the mysterious life gate, onto to a better path, each day fulfilled and joyous. Zhang Sanfeng Taijiquan amongst all forms is unique, practicing in only one singular direction, following the rotation of the earth, the direction of the winds, the turning of the stars, and the shapes of the planets. The universe is vast and unknown, but according to Yijing, the universe itself is round. By observing and practicing Daoist taijiquan, the roundness of the universe is then integrated, the self its reflection, becoming one"--

The prophet Jeremiah told the weary and heart-broken exiles of Jerusalem that they should “seek the peace of the city.” Rabbis, along with faith leaders of every tradition, teach that a broken society is one in which we fail to take care of others. This book asks some very hard questions of America in the midst of a Gun Violence epidemic, and presents a passionate, hopeful, healing response to a moment of national pain and fragility. The rabbis in this collection ask: How many innocent deaths will it take for our elected officials to respond with moral conviction? How long must America wait to acknowledge that we lose 30+ American lives to Gun Violence every day, scarring our national life? How many tears must be shed? Learn, connect, and be inspired with the voices of today's rabbinic leaders.

Peace in Our Cities

At 2:31 a.m., seismic monitoring stations in China and South Korea detect a magnitude-4 event consistent with a nuclear detonation in the southeastern corner of North Korea, within the Korean Demilitarized Zone. With the threat of full-scale war escalating by the minute, the United Nations Security Council dispatches an elite unit of peacekeepers to cross the border, penetrate the cloud of dust hanging over the site, and determine the exact nature of the seismic disturbance. What they find triggers a series of events that culminates in a civilian biomedical engineer boarding a transport carrier at Ft. Detrick, Maryland, bound for the Far East. His name is Dr. Parker Ramsey and he is uniquely qualified for this mission. He is the brains behind a secret project--Code Name Hindsight--developed under the oversight of the United States Army Medical Research and Materiel Command. Hindsight has never been field-tested, but with global catastrophe looming on the horizon, the only chance of averting it lies in utilizing the project's extraordinary capabilities. If it works, Dr. Ramsey will be able to unravel the mystery behind the detonation and identify the responsible party. For, thanks to Hindsight, Dr. Ramsey will be able to see something that no one has ever seen before... He'll be able to see the moment of death through the eyes of the dead. If he's able to survive long enough to do so.

#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.

Death and his legions are preparing a final strike, hungry to bring about total destruction. The last humans will do everything possible to stay alive, but when even the survivors begin to turn on each other, God's End seems inevitable.
