Publisher's summary

“Oh, Mrs. Sirman, there’s a problem with your husband’s cremation.”

“What sort of problem?”

“It’s his body.”

“What about it?”

“It won’t burn.”

And so it begins for Pam Sirman…the first step toward learning that everything she thought she knew about her husband is wrong, perhaps even his humanity. But if he's not human, what is he?

Pam is one of three lives that will be drawn together by the apocalypse of the Upwelling.

The other two are Chan and Danni, but their worlds are already in chaos. A few weeks ago a fierce storm accompanied by an upwelling from the Atlantic abyssal plain tore into Atlantic City.

When it receded, the city and its 25,000 inhabitants were gone without a trace.

Chan and Danni remember being in the city that day, but the ten hours during which the Upwelling occurred have been wiped from their memories.

They want those memories back.

Or do they?

Did they witness something so unspeakably ghastly that their minds can’t face it?

Or worse: Was that ghastly thing something they did?

And worst yet: Were they responsible for the Upwelling?

Another Gem From Wilson

I am a huge fan of all things F Paul Wilson, I own and have listened to every single of his novels released on Audible yet I still found myself surprised at how great THE UPWELLING was. I am checking Audible every single day to see if LEXIE Book 2 of The Hidden series is available for purchase. THE UPWELLING is a stand alone novel yet had several extra pieces of absolute gold for the hardcore fans of Wilson such as myself.

Easy Read adding more to the Otherness/Ally story!

Wilson gives us another story of which, those of us who are fans of his, we can ease into with familiarity. As we are all familiar with the Ally & the Otherness... he introduces a 3rd player for our little green marble of a planet. Dive into this story; let us revisit the Pine Barrons while seeing where Wilson takes us in the books to follow.

Could not stop listening

I had given up on F Paul Wilson, not enjoying his recent book series. Based on reviews, I gave this a chance and am so glad I did. Now, the problem is waiting for the next book which I will pre-order as soon as available.

Wonderfully twisted!

Mr Wilson is back and as entertaining as ever. I wasn't sure the story would meet my expectation after reading the synopsis, but boy was I wrong! Dark, mysterious, suspenseful, and really sparks the imagination. I always enjoy how Mr Wilson is able to craft enjoyable characters that are both witty and relatable. add to that is talent for incorporating the supernatural even where unexpected, and I just cannot get enough. can't wait for book two!

An Intriguing and Well Thought Dotey

I have ways lived F Paul Wilson and this first book in the new series was truly a page turner. The reader is immediately drawn into the story, and it becomes hard to put it down.
