The Revived: A Mystery Thriller
A mystery becomes a chase becomes a showdown…and a young man must survive it all to save his mother—and possibly the world.When fifty influential people around the world awaken from mysterious comas—branded by the media as the Revived—they reveal a shared psychic society will collapse unless it focuses on social and environmental needs over capitalistic greed.
While the world grapples with this shocking prophecy, 20-year-old slacker Hutch Reeves enjoys his blissful life as the only son of popstar Mandy Reeves, whose fame has only skyrocketed since becoming one of the Revived. When Mandy vanishes overnight, a covert group urges Hutch to travel to Europe and help save her and the Revived from the Plutonic Assembly, a secret group of ruthless power mongers who see the Revived as a threat to their global control. Leading the fight to protect the Assembly’s agenda is Max Lenkov, who sees Hutch as the ideal pawn to help locate the Revived.
When members of the Revived and their allies end up dead, Hutch is forced to take action, drawing on hidden gifts to save his mom—and the future of humanity.
THE REVIVED is a genre-blending mashup of ticking-clock thrills and high-octane action with a coming-of-age heart, all on a collision course with a group of capitalists desperate enough for power to kill for it—and even sacrifice the fate of the world.
If you like twisty thrills and globe-trotting action with the heart of an in-over-his-head everyman scrambling to save his mom—and the world—you'll love THE REVIVED. Suspense for fans of Blake Crouch, the Alex Rider series, and The Bourne Identity.

About the author
Peter Szabo
1 bookI write fiction. I’m fond of suspense/thrillers, action, science fiction, and stories with a fast pace and with emotional, even reactive, characters. A little romance has been known to warm my heart.
Fave authors include Stephen King, Andrew Pyper, Jodi Picoult, John Irving, Brandon Sanderson, and Charles Dickens.
In 2020, I finished my first fiction novel, then shelved it to learn more about the craft. I completed my second novel, a mystery-thriller named THE REVIVED, available as of November 3, 2025.
I also wrote and directed seven short films, including a screenplay adaptation of the short story, 'Nona,' by Stephen King, which I also directed and renamed 'Love Never Dies.' (www.possibilityfilmsinc.com)
