Review :
"The ability to paint a strikingly-vivid mental portrait with the tools an author leaves behind is a rarity in fiction writing. That said, the feelings evoked by what can most accurately be defined as a cavalcade of expertly-curated words, let me feel as though I was living in the work." -Daniel Oliver, author of Battleground
"Everett writes with the eye of a filmmaker with explosive action, taut dialogue, and mile-a-minute pacing." -Adam James Jones, author of Prisoner's Cinema
"Clive Cussler, meets Dean Kootz. Everett's novel reads like a Cussler thriller, then the Koontz-like horror seeps in, and you'll find yourself wishing... hoping what's coming on the next page is not what you fear it might be." -Ben Sharpton, author of The Awakening of Jim Bishop, 2022 Maxy Award Runner Up Winner
