A graphically violent story with building suspense and a moral about where weaving such a web may lead."-- Booklist on White Lies"The Catacombs is easy to consume whole, like a shocking, but delicious, pint of ice cream, as Bates never shies away from the bad or the ugly. If you are looking for something to give you chills before you go to bed or make you think twice about turning off your light, then The Catacombs is the book for you."-- San Francisco Book Review on The Catacombs"Jeremy Bates has written a great book that would make a great Hollywood screenplay!"-- Suspense Magazine on The Taste of Fear"The story culminates in a tense situation and a surprising yet satisfying ending...well written and an exciting thriller."-- Suspense Magazine on White Lies"The Catacombs is a thrilling descent into the unknown, peeling back the dark layers like a rotting onion, tears running down your face as you try to climb your way out. A hypnotic story of buried truths, disfigured creatures, and lost histories told with an authoritative voice full of heart and insight."-- Richard Thomas, Bram Stoker nominated author on The Catacombs"Big on suspense...think of The Blair Witch Project with the exception being that this takes place in...a real haunted setting."-- HorrorAddicts on Suicide Forest"Here's an enjoyable book to lose yourself in. Jeremy Bates doesn't miss a trick, teasing and misleading, ratcheting up the tension as the heroine...loses traction on a slippery slope of deceptions."-- Glenn Kleier, New York Times bestselling author on White Lies"A horror story like none other...makes for a read that will delight horror fans who want their novels steeped in psychological suspense as well as action."-- Midwest Book Review on The Catacombs

On July 12, 2017, an apocalyptic pandemic was unleashed after an iceberg, the size of Delaware, broke off from the Antarctica Peninsula. This exposed an ecosystem that had been hidden from the sun for over 120,000 years. Imbedded deep in the ice shelf was an object. The object was carrying a deadly virus that killed most of the world’s population. Only two hundred and fifty million survived. And those that did survive will be exposed to the virus in a matter of weeks. A group of strangers, bound by circumstance, embark on an epic journey to develop a vaccine that can save what is left of the human race. Along their 1,200-mile journey, the group must battle the elements, a fanatical group called Soldiers of Destiny, and time. Because the virus effects animals much differently than humans, it is not safe to be outdoors after sunset; it is imperative that the group find shelter each evening before nightfall.  Will they reach the CDC headquarters in time to save humanity and will they discover the truth behind the mysterious object; the origin of the virus?
