About this listen
Most of my friends, along with a large portion of New York City, are dead following the arrival of a bizarre meteor. The otherworldly phenomena brought with it a sickness—a disease—the likes of which this planet has never seen. A nightmarish species of super predator was born that day, something I call the Unseen.
But at least I still have Jill, though, it was close…really close.
Now, my wife and I find ourselves back in our old stomping grounds of South Florida, hellbent on locating our parents. Sadly, our triumphant homecoming doesn’t include a crowd of excited onlookers or even a banner that reads, “Welcome Back Frank and Jill!” What does greet us are the horrors of a ravaged world.
DESOLATION is the second book in international bestselling author Matt James’ action-packed horror-thriller series, The Unseen.
What Amazon readers are saying about The Unseen:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I gave it a 5 and would give it a 10 if possible!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Lots of action and sarcasm. My kind of story!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The main character is hilarious and sucks you in!"
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Wow! What an action-packed adventure!"

My name is Frank Moon, and I have no idea what to expect next. The Unseen are everywhere. The dead are too. Millions are gone, and I’m doing everything I can to keep my family from becoming a part of the rising death toll. We didn’t find Jill’s parents in Florida, but we’re hopeful they’re still alive and hunkered down in their cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I thought things couldn’t get any worse. Nope, once again, I’m dead wrong. When we arrive on the scene, we discover that a whole new horror awaits us. A handful of the Unseen aren’t just ravenous monsters roaming a ...

Story
Cal's "honeymoon" didn't start off quite how he'd planned. For starters, he was heading somewhere he didn't actually want to go. And secondly, he was going alone and unmarried. He had no idea that his first visit to New York City would also land him in the middle of a domestic terror attack, forcing him to flee Manhattan in a desperate bid to survive. This was no ordinary terror attack. The Movement, in a misguided attempt to seize political control of the USA, unwittingly invited the destruction of their homeland.
