The Chosen One

A deadly disease is spreading across the United States and those who come in contact with the sickness can suddenly communicate mentally. No one is protected and the estimated death tolls are high. There will no longer be a civilization the way we know it. Instead the only choice anyone has to exist is with the attitude, kill or be killed, in order to survive in this new world.

Yet, there is a Chosen One and she is the only hope. She directs them where they need to go to save those who can survive. The only drawback is making sure the Chosen One is protected against all costs. People travel from the Four Corners, different breeds, and all over to find a way to each other. They face an incredulous journey to find and protect the Chosen One, even if it means risking their own life. Can they all come together to save the one that needs real protection?

The Chosen One sounds like something right out of the headlines. A story that will give you chills but at the same time gives you pause to think. Who can I trust? How do I keep my thoughts from others? Feel goose bumps yet? The part where Stalker’s name couldn’t be translated in human language and the only way to communicate was to question him in thought had me looking around for shadows. This is an awesome book with creative writing that gives you the feel that you are one of them trying to survive. Kenneth Baker has done it again. He took a story and turned it into a showpiece of exquisite writing. This story is more than a horror; it’s a showcase of gripping suspense. This book bleeds with so many characters that you experience a roller coaster of a ride with a supercharged adrenaline rush. It left such an impression that I still get chills when I remember the story.
