A simple push of a button and the world will never be the same.

Martina Gable returns home from college to spend Christmas break with her family, but the relaxing vacation she expects is not even close to what she'll get. Sanjay, a young man in Mumbai who knows more than he should about Project Eden’s plan, will do whatever he can to keep Kusum, the girl he loves, alive and safe.

A boy named Brandon Ash runs for his life in the hills of Montana, wanting only to see his family again.

But first there is Daniel, the boy’s father, who watches Olivia Silva’s finger hover over the enter key that will decide the fate of humanity. Do you think you’re safe?

Pale Horse is part of the Project Eden continuing sage, which is best read after completing volumes 1 and 2 (Sick and Exit 9))

Reseñas de la Crítica

“ Sick didn’t just hook me. It hit me with a devastating uppercut on every primal level - as a parent, a father, and a human being.” (Blake Crouch, author of Run)

“…a gem of an outbreak story that unfolds like a thriller movie and never lets up, all the way to the last page. Absolutely my favorite kind of story!” (John Maberry, New York Times bestselling author)

“…not only grabs you by the throat, but by the heart and gut as well, and by the time you finish you feel as if you've just taken a runaway train through dangerous territory. Buy these books now. You won't regret it.” (Robert Browne, best selling author of Trial Junkies)

Is this a comic book series?

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

not really, I liked his other series but this one is in 6 books + and could be done in 2-3.

Has Pale Horse turned you off from other books in this genre?

Not in this Genre but this series by this author.

Unique Apocalyptic Yarn

One of my guilty pleasures. It is not entirely original, but it does have many interesting ideas and fully realized characters. There is plenty of action and character development. The only drawback is the cliffhanger endings and short run times. I usually have a hard time recommending books with these attributes, but if you check out the other reviews and audible samples, then you should be able to make an informed decision.

The narration is good, with some improvement needed on female voices.

Best to binge on all 7 books at once

Yes - ends on a cliffhanger. But exceptional storytelling throughout! If you love end-of-the-world, plague, conspiracy, disaster, good-vs-evil stories and you want a long, multi-faceted, character-filled thrillers - get all 7 books and have a ball!

Fantastic narration. MacLeod Andrews is exceptional with accents - esp. Sanjay and the India plot-line. Great pacing by Brett Battles. I listened to all of Pale Horse in a single day, getting very little else done and staying up until the wee-hours of the am to finish it. Started Ashes (Book 4) the following morning.

Easily got hooked on this series

Would you listen to Pale Horse again? Why?

I would listen to the whole series again

What did you like best about this story?

The complexity

Which character – as performed by MacLeod Andrews – was your favorite?

He did a fabulous job with all the characters, but Ash was my favorite

He leaves you hanging but just keep listening!

Just keep listening the story develops but yes the end is basically mid sentence. I got the "this has been an audible presentation" statement and let out a shrill "what??" I cant wait to listen to the next one!

Need the next or rest in series to finish story

Same quality of everything as before. Annoying that there are so many books to purchase. The story is pretty good. The characters still haven't been fleshed out. They are still surface descriptions that are inter-related by location. Love the story but it is expensive and frustrating.

Love the series, but you can skip this one

Love Brett Battles books. Looking forward to the next in the series, but this one was just boring.
The end

Spooky

I enjoyed this book VERY much
just wish it were one hour longer time wise.
thanks. Thank You

Once again a thrilling ride

Any additional comments?

Loved every moment. Cant wait to read the next book "Ashes". Brett Battles continues the plot and leaves you wanting more.

Fantastic series! And there's more to come!

This has been a great series so far! First book was a test of the biological agent, second book was the hunt for Blue Bird and trying to shut down The Project before Implementation Day. This book is just the 2-3 days post-implementation.

We still travel with Capt. Ashe and his two kids and the others of The Resistance as they strive to do what they can to minimize the effects of the virus, and to find the leaders of The Project. This gets side-tracked as the world goes into quarantine mode, and Ashe's son goes missing. We still follow the stories of Sanjay in India and Martina in California, but we also see short vignettes in the lives of normal folks around the globe as they encounter the virus or try to escape it. We meet these men and women for only a few moments but they become real to us, and we lament their deaths. People are paranoid and trigger happy. Governments try to combat the virus while attempting to maintain order, but there is really nothing they can do.

This sort of mirrors the prophesy of plagues visited on the world as found in John's Book of Revelation (to wit, the Pale Horse), but there is no religious discussion or dogma. The devastation is all man-made by evil men playing God. Everything is so realistic and believable you are afraid to turn on the news!

These books are among Battles' best, and we have the pleasure of listening to MacLeod Andrews' superb voicing of men and women, and many accents.

Here is a series to stay home from work to enjoy!
