It was supposed to be an escape from their daily lives.
Deep in the isolated Northwest Territories, four friends are on the trip of a lifetime. Dropped by helicopter into the remote Canadian wilderness, Hutch, Terry, Phil, and David are looking to escape the events of a tumultuous year for two weeks of hunting, fishing, and camping.
Now they just hope they escape alive.
Armed only with a bow and arrow and the basics for survival, they’ve chosen a place far from civilization, a retreat from their turbulent lives. But they quickly discover that another group has targeted the remote region and the secluded hamlet of Fiddler Falls for a more menacing purpose: to field-test the ultimate weapon.
Will they be able to beat the clock and save an innocent town from utter eradication?
With more than a week before the helicopter rendezvous and no satellite phone, they must risk everything to help the townspeople who are being held hostage and terrorized. And with any luck, they might just survive themselves.
Praise for Deadfall:
“What if Mad Max, Rambo, and the Wild Bunch showed up—all packing Star Wars-like weapons—in a small Canadian town? You’d have the thrilling adventure novel Deadfall. Robert Liparulo reminds us that small-town life is still the scariest, and man’s inhumanity to man is still The Most Dangerous Game.” —Katherine Neville, New York Times bestselling author of The Eight
“Inventive, suspenseful, and highly entertaining. An engrossing and imaginative tale that sticks in your brain and makes you wonder about its real possibilities. Robert Liparulo is a storyteller, pure and simple.” —Steve Berry, New York Times bestselling author of The Alexandria Link
“High-octane thrills are Robert Liparulo’s specialty, and boy does he deliver in this ultimate tale of survival.” —Tess Gerritsen, author of The Bone Garden
“Deadfall is a brilliantly crafted thriller with a terrifying premise and flawless execution. I loved it.” —Michael Palmer, author of The Fifth Vial

Their destiny is to fix history. Their dream is to go home.
Living in a house that’s actually a gateway between the past and present, the King siblings have to be ready for anything. It’s a painful fact they discovered after moving to Pinedale eight days ago. Desperately trying to rescue their mother from an unknown time and place, brothers Xander and David have lunged headlong into the chaos of some of history’s greatest—and most volatile—events. But their end goal has continually escaped their grasp.
And worse: Finding Mom is only a small part of what they must do, thanks to the barbaric Taksidian. His ruthless quest to seize their house and its power has put not only the family, but all of mankind, in grave danger.
Somehow, the key to everything hinges on Uncle Jesse’s words: “Fixing time is what our family was made to do.” But how can they fix a world turned upside down—much less find their way home?
At long last, the secrets of the house and the King family are revealed in the stunning conclusion to this epic series.

The house talks. It breathes. And it’s hungry.
The Kings have been in the creepy old place—their new home—for only a few days, but they’ve experienced enough terror to last a lifetime. And the mystery is growing even more baffling. Shadowy and shifting, the big house conceals doors into other worlds that blur the line between memories and dreams—and the slightest misstep can change history forever.
At least, that’s if they believe the trembling old man who shows up claiming to know them. “There’s a reason you’re in the house,” he says. “As gatekeepers we must make sure only the events that are supposed to happen get through to the future.”
The problem is that horrors beyond description wait on the other side of the gates. As if that wasn’t enough to terrify the family, they are also menaced by sinister forces on this side—like the dark, ancient stranger who wants them out now.
The siblings must venture beyond the gates to save their missing mother—and discover how truly high the stakes have become.

If you breathe . . . It will find you.
The list of 10,000 names was created for maximum devastation. Business leaders, housewives, politicians, celebrities, janitors, children. None of them is aware of what is about to happen–but all will be part of the most frightening brand of warfare the world has ever known.
The germ–an advanced form of the Ebola virus–has been genetically engineered to infect only those people whose DNA matches the codes embedded within it. Those whose DNA is not a match simply catch a cold. But those who are a match experience a far worse fate. Within days, their internal organs liquify.
Death is the only escape.
The release of the virus will usher in a new era of power where countries are left without defense. Where a single person–or millions–could be killed with perfect accuracy and zero collateral damage. Where your own DNA works against you.
The time isn’t coming. It is now. Pray the assassins get you first.

The King family has moved into a strange old house. Could it be a dream come true—or a place of nightmares?
When the Kings move from LA to a secluded small town, fifteen-year-old Xander is beyond disappointed. He and his friends loved to create amateur films, but the tiny town of Pinedale is the last place a movie buff and future filmmaker wants to land.
But he, David, and Toria are captivated by the many rooms in the old Victorian fixer-upper they moved into—as well as the heavy woods surrounding the house.
They soon discover there’s something odd about their new home. Sounds come from the wrong directions. Prints of giant, bare feet appear in the dust. And when David tries to hide in the linen closet, he winds up in locker 119 at his new school.
Then the really weird stuff kicks in: they find a hidden hallway with portals leading to far-off places—in long-ago times. Xander is starting to wonder if this kind of travel is a teen’s dream come true . . . or his worst nightmare.

When a group of immortal vigilantes threatens millions, only one man is brave enough to stand in their way.
Their story didn’t start this year…or even this millennium.
It began when Moses was on Mt. Sinai. Tired of waiting on the One True God, the twelve tribes of Israel began worshipping a golden calf through pagan revelry. Many received immediate death for their idolatry, but 40 were handed a far worse punishment–endless life on earth with no chance to see the face of God.
This group of immortals became the 13th Tribe, and they’ve been trying to earn their way into heaven ever since–by killing sinners. Though their logic is twisted, their brilliance is undeniable. Their wrath is unstoppable. And the technology they possess is beyond anything mere humans have ever seen.
Jagger Baird knows nothing about the Tribe when he’s hired as head of security for an archaeological dig on Mt. Sinai. The former Army Ranger is still reeling from an accident that claimed the life of his best friend, his arm, and his faith in God.
The Tribe is poised to execute their most ambitious attack ever and the lives of millions hang in the balance. When Jagger’s wife and son are caught in the crossfire, he’ll stop at nothing to save them. But how can one man stand against an entire tribe of immortals?
“Liparulo plunges deep into the pages of Scripture to find intriguing what-if’s and stunning revelations–all woven into a tale that is both skin-tinglingly supernatural and thought-provokingly real. Packed with high-tech gadgetry, action, and heart . . . Read this novel! Seriously!” –TED DEKKER, New York Times best-selling author of Forbidden and the Circle Series
“The author of Comes a Horseman ushers in an exciting new series with this action-packed and intricately plotted spiritual thriller that should appeal to fans of Frank Peretti and Oliver North.” —Library Journal
“A fantasy-thriller with overt (but not overly intrusive) Christian themes . . . The book can be read as a story of a man’s spiritual transition, or it can be read as a fast-paced thriller with fantasy elements. Either way, it’s a success.” —Booklist
“Liparulo opens the Immortal Files series with a bang . . . Liparulo has concocted a fast-moving, imaginative narrative that examines moral questions . . . every reader is in for roller-coaster action, competently done, with a late-breaking major plot curve that leaves the door open for more.” —Publishers Weekly
“If you’re a fan of suspense or biblical fiction, this is one book you won’t want to miss. Its mind-blowing action will keep readers totally immersed.” –RT Book Review, 4 1/2 stars

What if praying became a curse instead of a blessing?
Former Army Ranger Jagger Baird thought he had his hands full with the Tribe–the band of immortal vigilantes fighting to regain God’s grace by killing those opposed to Him. But that was before he encountered the ruthless group of immortals called the Clan. The Clan is after a prize that would give them unimaginable power–a piece of the Ten Commandments known as the Judgment Stone.
Those who touch the Stone can see into the spiritual world: angelic warriors, treacherous demons, and the blue threads of light that signal the presence of believers in communion with God.
By following the blue beam radiating from those closest to God, the Clan plans to locate His most passionate followers and destroy them.
Jagger quickly realizes his high-tech gadgetry and training are no match for these merciless immortals. But how can he defeat an enemy who hunts believers through their prayers . . . and won’t stop until they’ve annihilated all those close to Him?
In this high-action thriller, best-selling author Robert Liparulo examines the raging battle between good and evil on earth . . . and beyond.

Which door would you go through to save the world?
David, Xander, and Toria King never know what new adventures—and dangers—await them beyond the mysterious portals hidden on the top floor of their new house. They have battled gladiators and the German army, dodged soldiers on both sides of the Civil War, and barely escaped a fierce attack in their own home.
Still they are no closer to finding their mother, who was pulled by powerful forces through a portal and lost in time.
Their only hope is to turn the tables on Taksidian, the menacing stranger who wants them out of the house so he can use it for his own twisted purposes.
But everything changes when a trip into the near future reveals the devastating outcome of Taksidian’s schemes—a destroyed city filled with mutant creatures. It is only then that the Kings realize what they’re really fighting for—the fate of humanity itself.

Time isn’t just running out . . . it’s running wild.
David King is reeling from his travels through history—and the evil he’s found there. The last thing he needs is his great-great-uncle Jesse’s hospital-bed instructions: You can’t simply do nothing. You must fix things.
David and his brother Xander’s search for their abducted mother has repeatedly led them on strange and terrifying journeys as they’ve stepped through the portals of the creepy old house into some of history’s most turbulent moments—and confronted an unimaginably bleak vision of the future.
Now Jesse’s words saddle them with an obligation not only to visit the past, but to rewrite it.
Fulfilling their purpose will take everything they have, both mentally and physically. And they have no choice . . . because everything in the past—and the future—is on the line.
