    Marcus had left his home and was wandering around finding shelter underneath bridges, and basically anywhere
    else he would be able to occupy for the time being.

    Thinking his life couldn’t get any worse, a group conducting an experiment decides to make Marcus one of the
    variables, since he is nothing other than “street scum.” He was out walking, trying to find any type of food in the
    trash, when he was kidnapped, taken to the headquarters, and was explained the experiment. And, out of his
    control, he was thrown out of society and into the wilderness.

    The experimenters wanted to see what goes on when people have to fend for themselves in the wild. Do they
    change their attitude and morals? Do they become savages when trying to find something to eat? Do they become
    frantic and uncontrollable?

    So far, with a tattoo with his name and number on his arm, Marcus has been able to survive knowing what the
    experiment is all about. Then a girl is dropped off at the place where he has currently found refuge. Lynn312 was
    tattooed on her arm, and together they would help each other survive, while trying to find a way to end the
    experiment. New victims will be discovered, plans will be hatched, and caring for one another will be key.

    Not usually one for violence, Marcus is pushed too far, wanting an end to this new life, willing to do anything and
    hurt anyone to get out. Will he be able to survive or will the experiment’s effects cause even more damage?

    A thrilling beginning to a shocking new series, THE FEAR IN THE WILDERNESS is like a script to the next
    blockbuster hit. Every word written by Scott Allen leaps off the pages and plays with your imagination. The first
    installment of the SURVIVAL OP series will keep the reader guessing until the very end, where a cliffhanger
    awaits.
