      Double Threat is a new stand-alone thriller from New York Times bestselling author F. Paul Wilson. Daley has a problem. Her 26-year life so far has been unconventional, to say the least, but now she's got this voice in her head. It claims to be a separate entity that's going to be sharing her body from now on. At first she thinks she's schizophrenic, then considers the possibility that maybe she really has been invaded - but by what? Medical tests turn up nothing, yet the voice persists... and won't stop talking! When she finally she accepts the reality that she has a symbiont, she discovers that together they can cure people of the incurable. Maybe hosting a symbiont isn't such a bad thing. She retreats to a remote town in the southwest desert to hone her healing skills. But there she runs afoul of the Pendry clan, leaders of an obscure cult that worships the Visitors who inhabited the area millions of years ago. They plan to bring them back but believe Daley is the prophesied "Duad" who will undo all the cult's efforts. She must be eliminated. You know things are bad when the voice in your head is the only one you can trust.

The senior doctor in her medical group drops a bombshell that threatens to disrupt her life, some of the patients start acting strange, and one winds up near death from multiple gunshot wounds. Then there's her father's ghost who insists he won't be free until she finds out what happened to his boyhood friend Corrado, whom he's sure was murdered. When Norrie's inquiry turns up a dark side to Corrado, she hires an eccentric psychic to free her father from the family home. And that's when things take a sharp left turn.

    • 2019

      The Secret History of the World - a history of humanity that remains undiscovered, unexplored, and unknown. Some of this Secret History has been revealed in the Adversary Cycle, some in the Repairman Jack novels, and bits and pieces in other, seemingly unconnected works. Taken together, even these millions of words barely scratch the surface of what has been going on behind the scenes, hidden from the workaday world. In Secret Stories F. Paul Wilson has gathered some of the shorter pieces of the Secret History and placed them for convenience between a single set of covers. He's left out the pieces available as stand-alones (like "The Compendium of Srem") or collected in Quick Fixes , and has concentrated instead on those published in scattered collections and anthologies over the years. To each story Wilson has added commentary as to how it earned its place in the Secret History.
