Pestilence (Triple Six #2)

STEPHEN SIMPSON

The barcode was never meant to save humanity. It was built to enslave it.

The world has fallen silent.

Cities lie in ruins, and the screams of the Barcoded echo across a broken landscape. A catastrophic failure in S.C.I.'s neural chip system has transformed millions into mindless killers, leaving only a handful of uncoded survivors to face a nightmare beyond imagination.

Lydia and her friends escaped the fall of civilization—but survival is only the beginning.

Hunted by Jodie, the Spider Queen's ruthless disciple, they race toward the remote island of Ardenil, where whispers speak of a resistance still fighting for humanity's future. But every mile brings new horrors, impossible choices, and a terrifying truth: Lydia carries a light the darkness cannot allow to survive.

As the forces behind S.C.I. tighten their grip and an ancient evil begins to reveal its true purpose, the battle is no longer about escaping.

It's about stopping the end of humanity itself.

Fast-paced, chilling, and packed with relentless suspense, Pestilence is the gripping second installment in the Triple Six series—a YA dystopian horror where technology, faith, and survival collide.

Because when control becomes absolute... freedom is worth dying for.
