About the book
They Bleed Black
Featuring stunning custom sprayed edges that transform the book into a collectible centerpiece, this premium edition delivers a visual experience as epic as the story itself. The intricate edge design brings the world of giant mechs and monstrous Preds to life before readers even turn the first page, making it a must-have for science fiction collectors and fans of beautifully crafted books.
Ten years ago, colossal monsters known as Megapredators—Preds—rose from the depths and shattered the world as we knew it. Entire cities fell. Nations militarized. Humanity survived only by building the Knights: towering war machines piloted by the brave few willing to stand between civilization and extinction.
For the Abraham family of Detroit, the war against the Preds is personal. Mose and Sami Abraham, along with their children Zee and Yas, have spent years helping build the very machines that keep humanity alive. But when three Preds erupt from Lake St. Clair and reduce Detroit to rubble, the Abrahams are forced into the fight themselves. Climbing into an unfinished Knight, they accomplish the impossible: they defeat the monsters and survive.
Then they receive a desperate message from their son Tep, a Knight recruit stationed at a military training facility in Colorado. His warning is fragmented and terrifying. Something is wrong. And if they value their lives, they must stay away.
Refusing to abandon him, the Abrahams set out across a devastated America, piloting a stolen Knight through ruined cities, lawless wastelands, and battlefields haunted by Pred attacks. Along the way, Yas uncovers evidence suggesting the monsters are not random predators at all. Someone is controlling them.
As government forces close in and a deadly conspiracy begins to emerge, the family discovers a truth more horrifying than any monster: the Preds are not invaders. They are victims.
Behind the Knight Program lies a secret decades in the making—a genocidal experiment fueled by greed, power, and hatred. At its center stands Simon Pillar, the billionaire architect of humanity's salvation, whose vision for America's future will cost countless innocent lives.
When Tep becomes the latest casualty of Pillar's twisted ambitions, the Abrahams are thrust into a desperate race to save not only their son, but the nation itself. To stop a war built on lies, they'll have to face impossible choices, overwhelming odds, and a nightmare that threatens to consume humanity from within.
Because the monsters were never the real enemy.
And the worst one is still waiting.
A thrilling blend of giant mech action, family drama, and chilling political conspiracy, The Bleed Black launches an epic science fiction saga about what makes us human—and what happens when power decides otherwise.
