Publisher's summary

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907...

Nestled in the woods of Wisconsin, Safe Haven is miles from everything. With one road in and out, this is a town so peaceful it has never needed a full-time police force. Until now...

A helicopter has crashed on the outskirts of town and something terrible has been unleashed. A classified secret weapon programmed to kill anything that stands in its way. Now it's headed for the nearest lights to do what it does best. Isolate. Terrorize. Annihilate.

Soon all phone lines are dead and the road is blocked. Safe Haven's only chance for survival rests on the shoulders of an aging county sheriff. And as the body count rises, the sheriff realizes something even more terrifying—maybe death hasn't come to his little town by accident...

WELCOME TO SAFE HAVEN, POPULATION 907... 906... 905...

Afraid

Any additional comments?

Not one of my favorites but good enough not to be bad. The military lose a group of chemically enhanced killers, who terrorize a small town in Wisconsin.

Great Story, Better Performance

I liked this book but I wanted to love it. It was well told with great characters and a unique premise. My only real issue was the few times that the story dragged on unnecessarily. Other than that, it was awesome.

Very well written and suspenseful - but graphic.

I read and enjoyed the book before I ever listened to it in audio form. While it is what I would call gory and graphic at points - it is also very well written and suspenseful. The narrator does an excellent job translating the tension and horror of the written word to spoken word. The story moves along rapidly and there are hardly any dull moments. Enjoyed!

The storyline grabs you by the collar and doesn’t let go!

I loved the layers to the story and the horrible surprises waiting around every corner. Even if you skim books, this one will compel you to read it inits entirety.
That’s the only way to figure how the author gets to the end.
The denouement (tying up loose ends) flows like melted butter over freshly hot popcorn.

WARNING: this novel details lots of violence, torture and death.
