Pete Dubois was commuting to the office when he read the headline he couldn't believe - Psychosis Outbreaks across the U.S. and Canada. He learns the nightmare is real when roving bands of soldiers, somehow acting in perfect synchronicity, chase him through Boston's streets, tearing the city apart. Fighting for food, searching for shelter, learning that their fellow survivors can be more deadly than the crazed hordes of infected, Pete stumbles across an ominous revelation - a virus didn't cause the outbreak, but something more insidious, something deliberate, something encircling the globe and threatening man's dominion over the earth- The Black Halo. The Black Halo is a thrilling story of survival amidst the crumbling veneer of civilization, while also a rumination of our underlying capacity for both graceful compassion and deadly barbarism. It explores the depths we may plumb to survive, even if costing our humanity, as well as the redemptive power of selflessness.
