Their only hope lies with an indomitable young woman who must lead them not only to answers but to survival.<\/p>\n \u201cI open my eyes to darkness. Total darkness. I hear my own breathing, but nothing else. I lift my head . . . it thumps against something solid and unmoving. There is a board right in front of my face. No, not a board . . . a lid.\u201d<\/p>\n A teenage girl awakens to find herself trapped in a coffin. She has no idea who she is, where she is, or how she got there. Fighting her way free brings little relief\u2014she discovers only a room lined with caskets and a handful of equally mystified survivors. Beyond their room lies a corridor filled with bones and dust, but no people . . . and no answers.<\/p>\n She knows only one thing about herself\u2014her name, M. Savage, which was engraved on the foot of her coffin\u2014yet she finds herself in charge. She is not the biggest among them, or the boldest, but for some reason the others trust her. Now, if they’re to have any chance, she must get them to trust each other.<\/p>\n Whatever the truth is, she is determined to find it and confront it. If she has to lead, she will make sure they survive. Maybe there’s a way out, a rational explanation, and a fighting chance against the dangers to come. Or maybe a reality they cannot comprehend lies just beyond the next turn.<\/p>\n Advance praise for ALIVE<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n \u201cA ripping, claustrophobic thunderbolt of a novel, Scott Sigler\u2019s Alive<\/i> gives us an unforgettable young hero who must find the inner strength to lead without knowing where she is, who she is, and how bitterly the odds are stacked against her.\u201d \u201cA tense, unsettling page-turner of a story\u2014both deeply strange and wildly compelling.\u201d \u201cFrom the first page I was hooked.

\n\u201cSigler has created a wonderful and engrossing character in M. Savage. Strong and smart, but with the na\u00efvet\u00e9 and misgivings of any teenage girl, she\u2019s someone you\u2019ll definitely want on your side when s*** hits the fan, which it most certainly does.\u201d
