Book SynopsisTrade Review“Awakened is a good old-fashioned monster story with devious new twists. Creepy and disturbing in all the right ways!” — Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Glimpse and V-Wars “Awakened is a taughtly written, brilliantly unexpected thriller from authorial duo James S. Murray and Darren Wearmouth [...] Awakened hits the high notes of Douglas Preston & Lincoln Child’s Relic and Scott Snyder’s The Wake [...] but its scope actually extends much further.” — Kirkus Reviews “This book is no joke. Get ready to not sleep tonight. Awakened does exactly what it advertises. Scary amazing fun.” — Brad Meltzer, bestselling author of The Escape Artist “Murray and coauthor Wearmouth [...] sculpt a briskly moving narrative that includes a plethora of short-burst action sequences and pacing fit for a Brad Meltzer novel. Along the way, they plant the seeds for sequels and craft a tight, pulse-pounding story that practically cries out for a film adaptation.” — Booklist “Aliens meets The Taking of Pelham 123 in this fast-moving science fiction thriller.” — Publishers Weekly “Awakened is a thrilling read.” — New York Journal of Books “A great book with both science fiction and horror elements, along with some mystery. I highly recommend this.” — SciFiMoviePage “Short, tightly plotted and as grounded in reality as monster stories can be, it’s a cinematic read.” — Serendipitous Reads ”It took James S. Murray many years to get his debut thriller Awakened finally published....It was well worth the wait. The thriller is a page-turning great debut.” — Red Carpet Crash “Awakened is an action-packed, fast-paced and exciting read, one to switch your brain off and just enjoy for what it is, a fun-filled creature-fest.” — The Tattooed Book Geek “If you’re looking for a good scare delivered in a fast-paced, blockbuster-style novel with thrilling action and horror, this novel should do the trick. Overall, I thought it was a fun and thrilling read.” — Bibliosanctum
