Recently named a finalist for a Military Writers Society of America 2012 Book of the Year award for his 2012 release The Donors, Jeffrey Wilson is a trauma and combat surgeon who served two tours in Iraq. Wilson's latest novel, Fade to Black-a taut and terrifying thriller that teems with intensity-has garnered high critical praise, including:

"A brilliant combination of war novel and supernatural thriller. This book could only have been written by an author who knows firsthand the blood, sweat, dust, and terror of combat."
-Tom Young, author of The Renegades
"Wilson just keeps getting better and better... you'll bite off every fingernail waiting to see the final outcome!"
-Benjamin Kane Ethridge, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Nightmare Ballad

About Fade to Black: Protagonist Jack Keller is a young man caught between two terrifying worlds. In one world, he is Marine Sergeant Casey Stillman. Locked in combat in the streets of Fallujah, Iraq, he is lying next to his dead and dying friends, bleeding in the street-until he wakes up at home, in bed with his wife. In this other world, Jack is Jack Keller, a high school science teacher, husband, and devoted father to his little girl. But the nightmares of war continue to haunt him-and they're vivid, they're horrifying, and they're way too real. When news of killed Marines in Fallujah surface, Jack realizes he knows far more about these men then he should. Could it be coincidence, or something else? When the dead Marines begin visiting him while he is awake, Jack realizes that he is in serious trouble. Faced with the possibility of losing his mind-or worse still, that these nightmares aren't nightmares at all, but are real-Jack knows he must somehow find a way to bridge the two realities and fight his way back to save his wife and his little girl.

From its unforgettable opening to its final, chilling conclusion, Fade to Black is an extraordinary thriller that will stay with readers long after the final page is turned.
