Police work is never routine; domestics, gang violence... flesh craving zombies For decades the Mexican drug cartels looked at the United States of America as a business partner. The cartels supplied the drugs, and the millions of American addicts supplied them with an endless amount of money. But when the War on Drugs heats up and the money alone is not enough, the cartels decided to up the ante. With the help of a ruthless Russian mercenary, they unleashed a lethal bio-weapon, initially conceived during the Cold War to quickly bring the West to her knees. Skillfully deployed, the virus initially worked as designed. What started as a slow burn soon spread at an expediential rate, decimating the host population. Finally powerful enough conquer a stricken nation, the cartel stood ready to move in and enslave the surviving population. But unknown to their leaders, the virus had a small side effect. The infected victims refused to stay dead, and had an agenda all of their own. For two veteran police officers and their small group of friends, the first day of the outbreak starts out like any other. Random fights and car accidents keep them busy, that is until they are confronted with a new and unexpected enemy. Each one of them is forced to confront the unthinkable. Zombies were real, and craving the living with an insatiable appetite. When Mike is dispatched to a domestic violence call, he gets more than he bargained for dealing with an uncharacteristically enraged father. Stephen and his sub-rate partner have their hands full with disturbance in a housing project that is quickly escalating into a full blown riot. Chris attempts to make sense of a massive car accident that has spilled off of the expressway and overwhelmed local EMS. Mattie is guarding a prisoner at the suddenly overwhelmed local hospital when sick patients start to attack the emergency room staff. And after working the midnight shift, Dan wakes up to find a crazed intruder in his home. Against the full specter of a society crumbling around them, and the dead stalking the living in the streets, it will take all of their skill, knowledge and courage to survive. They see terrifying news broadcasts, learn of hastily constructed refugee camps and an overmatched military stretched to the limit. Yet, amongst all of this, they still face enemies among the living as well. Armed gangs free to roam the streets. Powerful men who want to play politics with people's lives, and wolves in sheep's clothing. Together, the group faces an uncertain future as they struggle against relentless enemies, living and dead, in a devastated America. The authors, Mike Fosen and Hollis Weller are veteran police officers currently living and working in the Midwest. They enjoy a wide variety of outdoor activities and pride themselves on being prepared for the coming zombie apocalypse.
