Compound 19 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798183872453)

COMPOUND 19

Some places are abandoned for a reason. Others are hidden because they were never meant to be found.

Deep on the North Yorkshire Moors, the village of Frenshamdale lives beneath the shadow of Compound 19.

No one knows who runs it. Unmarked vehicles arrive after dark. Strange lights move across the moors. Animals refuse to go near the perimeter.

And the locals have learned not to ask questions.

Sixteen-year-old Phillip Greenwild has other ideas.

When Phillip and his friends set out to discover what lies beyond the compound's electrified fence, they uncover a forgotten route beneath the moors-and evidence of a secret government project dating back to 1979.

For Phillip's father, investigative journalist Paul Greenwild, the discovery confirms an obsession that has consumed him for years. But as father and son close in on the truth from different directions, they begin to realise that Compound 19 wasn't built simply to hide an experiment.

It was built to contain what the experiment awakened.

Now something beneath the moors is stirring again.

And this time, it knows Phillip is coming.

A supernatural conspiracy thriller of government secrets, buried family history and cosmic horror, Compound 19 asks one terrifying question:

What if the most dangerous thing inside a secret military facility isn't what they're doing there-but what they're trying to keep underground?
