Humanity has spent its time enjoying a peace that can only be had through blissful ignorance. For centuries, stories of things that go 'bump' in the night have been passed down and shared. When creatures of the night proved to be real, the best of America’s military came together to form an elite band of rapid response teams. Their mission: to face the challenges, keep the civilian populace safe from those threats and hide all evidence of their existence. This time, they face not only the monsters that threaten the peaceful lives of the citizens they are sworn to protect, but their own government as a dark storm brews on the horizon. A storm that will threaten not just the squads and their existence, but the lives of every human on earth…a threat so overwhelming that they must pull teams from across the globe and work with the very monsters they’ve hunted in the past to assist them in saving humanity. The largest threat to ever rise against mankind prepares its own twisted Apocalypse and the only thing standing in its way is the Monster Squads. Man and monster will fight side by side in an epic battle to the death to try to defeat an evil so great, it could only have been created by the hand of God, Himself. Rise of the Sicarii is a compendium of the first four Monster Squad novels, re-edited, rechaptered and prepped for hardback rather than released as a 'box set'.
