"Kilgore taps into every parent's fear. A terrifying journey of desperation that will be sure to keep you up late into the night." - Brett Battles, author of SICK: Project Eden No. 1. "A riveting, real-world ticking-clock page turner - Don't miss it " - Carl Ellsworth, screenwriter of RED EYE and DISTURBIA. Treading water as a dead-end trainer at the YMCA in Santa Monica, California, John Grant can hardly compete with ex-wife Lynn when it comes to their son. Like any six-year-old, Connor loves toys, and Lynn works for the second largest toy company in the world. When Connor is invited to a friend's birthday party, he brings along the latest pre-release model of a highly anticipated NextGen action figure, set to come out at Christmas. Two days later, all of the children from the party are in a coma with their parents in a panic. Is it some kind of outbreak? With Connor's health deteriorating fast, and his doctors at a loss to explain what is wrong with him, John alone plunges into a desperate search for answers. His journey takes him to China and what he uncovers may be the deadliest terrorist attack in history - unless he can stop it.
