Evilution

An uncharted island. A vanished crew. Something in the dark that refuses to die.

Travis Pates has been sure of one thing: the end of the world was his fault. He never should've gone out for hot cocoa.

Two months after a distracted driver killed his wife Rebecca-and the child he never knew she was carrying-Travis is barely holding himself together in the rain-soaked mountain town of Kettle Creek, Washington. He's burning through bourbon, getting sidelined at work, and haunted by nightmares that won't let Rebecca rest.

Then a routine search-and-rescue mission pulls him back into action. A massive oil tanker has gone missing off the Washington coast, thirty souls aboard. When Travis and his elite C.E.R.T. team descend from a helicopter onto the abandoned vessel's storm-lashed deck, they find only one survivor-a single crewman, badly mauled and delirious with terror.

Moments later, everything goes wrong.

Stranded on a remote, uncharted island, the team finds warning signs carved into every tree and something moving in the dark between them. Something that bites. Something that doesn't stay dead.

Cut off from the outside world, running low on supplies, and unable to trust each other, Travis must face a threat unlike anything his training prepared him for-while still carrying the weight of everything he's already lost.

Some things evolve. Some things just feed.
