Liars. These couples don't have a heart to be broken, so he'll break their bodies instead-and take their body parts as trophies. Because it's all personal with him. And when it's time for his final kill, he knows exactly how he's going to pull it off.

The mystery surrounding the Lost Colony of Roanoke has remained unsolved for more than four centuries. It's one of America's most fascinating and enduring enigmas: What happened to a group of English settlers who arrived on the North Carolina coast in the late 16th century and established a colony on the island of Roanoke? DARE answers that question with an action-packed thriller that links the Lost Colony to a dystopian "alternative 21st century" in which the United States has been overrun by a race of superhuman cannibals known as the Devourers. Follow two survivors of the Lost Colony through a portal in time to the present, where a professor in a fortified research facility races to find a way to stop the Devourers--and an "electric girl" from a rundown carnival battles a powerful goddess for control of humanity's future.

I’m no hero. I didn’t ask for this. I was happy just being a decorated veteran who’d made it through the war and was getting ready to marry my sweetheart. But all that changed when my employer, which happens to run the government, decided to make me their guinea pig. They injected me with a virus that changed my body. When I’m angry, I get as hard as stone; when I’m scared, I “fade” to the point that I can become invisible can pass through walls. They made me this way because it was good for ratings, which means more profits for the people in charge. If you enjoy action stories with plenty of twists and turns, you’re sure to enjoy "Crimson Scourge". It’s one part John Wick, one part "Fight Club," and one part "The Matrix," with a little bit of "Split" and "The Punisher" thrown into the mix. It's one wild ride.
