Stephen Simpson's Triple Six series, beginning with Mark of the Beast, depicts a post-apocalyptic world ravaged by terrorist attacks orchestrated by a seemingly innocuous online book club. 

The attacks introduce a mandatory barcode system, inspiring the sequel, Pestilence, where a data centre explosion causes the barcoded to become zombie-like. 

Pestilence, releasing on the 24th of December 2024, continues protagonist Lydia's fight for survival against this oppressive system and explores themes of hope and resilience. 

Simpson's inspiration stems from his childhood experiences in 1970s South Africa, where the introduction of barcodes sparked anxieties about the "mark of the beast". 

The series promises action, suspense, and emotional depth.
