If the heart-pounding expedition of Nolan Moore’s team into the Grand Canyon’s hidden chambers kept you turning pages in The Anomaly, you’ll be riveted by The Descent. Here, a group of explorers and scientists descend into a vast subterranean world, driven by the clear objective to uncover its secrets—only to encounter escalating dangers and mysteries. The relentless pace and sense of mounting peril will feel hauntingly familiar.
If you enjoyed the banter and friction among the expedition members in The Anomaly, you’ll love the ensemble of scientists, detectives, and museum staff in Relic as they race against time to solve a series of bizarre murders in the New York Museum of Natural History. The shifting alliances and clashing personalities make the unraveling mystery even more engaging.
Did the dry wit and wry observations of Nolan Moore make The Anomaly stand out for you? The Hike follows Ben, an everyman who finds himself on a surreal, perilous journey filled with laugh-out-loud absurdities and sharp, clever dialogue—even as the stakes spiral. The smart, irreverent humor balances the mounting strangeness and danger, much like in Michael Rutger’s novel.
If you relished the breakneck escalation of dread as the expedition in The Anomaly unraveled, The Ruins will grip you from page one. A group of friends on a vacation in Mexico are suddenly thrust into a nightmare of survival—each chapter ratcheting up the tension and terror with little respite. The relentless pacing and plunges into the unknown will keep your heart pounding.
If the jaw-dropping twists and revelations in The Anomaly left you reeling, The Troop will deliver more of the same. As a scoutmaster and his boys encounter something monstrous on a remote island, the story takes unpredictable turns—constantly shifting your expectations and keeping you off-balance in the best way possible.
