Quantum: A Thriller (Captain Chase Book 1) Kindle Edition
just saw this cover is animated. I hope this is done more. It looks awesome.
Amazon link for the book: https://www.amazon.com/Chuck-Steak-Meat-Casper-Pearl-ebook/dp/B07KGDSBD8/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2IFTB045Z2U59&keywords=chuck+steak+not+the+meat&qid=1574346246&sprefix=chuck+steak+not+the%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1
I got the Basque/caveman angle from a novel by Trevanian, Shibumi.
In the book it is an insult from one character to another that the Basque are the last remains of the Neanderthal race.
Yes it is.
As everyone else already mentioned, Knightfall and No Man's Land are the best. Here are some other novels available though:
Batman: Dead White
Batman:Inferno
Batman: Fear Itself
Batman:Rise of Sin Tzu (novelization of the game based on the animated series)
Batman: The Stone King
And here are some Justice League/ DC Universe novels that feature Batman:
Enemies and Allies
JLA: Exterminators
Helltown (Also features The Question)
Inheritance
"Shibumi" by Trevanian.
The protagonist is a freelance assassin of aristocratic descent.
Read the reviews, Many refer to this as a masterpiece and I tend to agree.
The closest thing I can think of is Xenoform by Mike Berry. The city doesn't exactly handle a quarantine though; this is more of a Lovecraftian horror altering people. The book is centered around some cyberpunks who kidnap people to steal their orgrans but notice something odd in their recent victims. I say this is more "Lovecraftian" because the disease isn't exactly... contained.

Oh, actually, there's also Necrotech and its sequel Nanoshock by K C Alexander. In that series, if you get too many body mods your body will "go necro" and basically become a zombie. The main plot is with the main character trying to recover a gap in her memory but she does get involved in a couple zombie outbreaks that the corporations are trying to keep quiet. I'm sure in the end (if there's a third book) the gap in her memory and the zombie outbreaks will be related, but so far the zombie outbreaks are more of a subplot. Fair warning though: this is a vulgar book. The main character regularly uses adjectives like "fucking" and "cunting" to describe people and objects (something like "that fucking bodyguard and his cunting shotgun"). It isn't overly gory or violent or graphic in its action, the main character just uses lots of vulgar language and the novel is written from first-person perspective.
New crime novel - A drug baron, a group of determined Maltese and a cat and mouse chase to the bitter end. https://www.amazon.com/Cross-Connection-Jean-Paul-Tabone-ebook/dp/B081S82XJ3/ref=sr_1_8?keywords=cross+connection&qid=1574793676&sr=8-8
Shibumi was written as a send up of the Bond genre. The author,'Trevanian' was much, much better than all of his peers thus this work is unforgettable.
"A westerner raised in Japan, he survived the destruction of Hiroshima to emerge as the world's most artful lover and its most accomplished assassin. His greatest desire is to attain a state of effortless perfection . . . shibumi. But he is about to face his most sinister and corrupt enemy -- a supermonolith of espionage and monopoly bent on destroying him."

I’m totally gonna self promote, shamelessly, but my book The Regulators is a fast paced thriller about an underground vigilante group fighting government corruption. It takes a lot of inspiration from things like the Bourne movies, and 24. I’ve really strived to bring that sort of pace to the book.

I asked this question recently and it seemed like the answer was a definite no. But then I came across this Amazon listing by Wayne Stinnett up for pre-order, and he has both the ebook and the print book up on pre-order. Is this just a special thing Amazon will do for larger authors or is there something we're missing?
Sounds a bit like Full Wolf Moon, but the title doesn't jive with what you remember there.
Much of Trevanian's novel Shibumi is set in the Basque country of Spain. One of my favorite spy thrillers.

The great thing about Trevanian is you never know exactly if he's putting you on.
Sleeping Giants was amazing. Its about these women scientists (They just happen to be women) that are racing around the world to assemble an alien artifact. Each chapter kind of ends on a mini cliffhanger and I could not put it down. The movie rights have already sold and it will be amazing. http://www.amazon.com/Sleeping-Giants-Themis-Sylvain-Neuvel/dp/1101886692
Hello!
I just released the first book in my trilogy, Grim Ambition, a superhero crime thriller told from the viewpoint of the villains! It is an intense read with a lot of emotion, and I'd love your feedback!
Get the First Edition or for the same cost you can get the
Collector's Edition.
I also wrote and published two short stories, one as a quick prequel to Grim Ambition and the other as a short story between books one and two.
Lastly, book two, Grim Judgment, comes out on Amazon next month!
I'm getting fantastic feedback from people who have read it, and I'd really love to hear yours! Thank you everyone!
These! Screw Mystery and Thriller. Read transgressive contemporary fiction! It's better for your brain.
