One damned good read. Spoiler alert.
This one starts with brothers James and Connor Andderson.
A couple of days earlier there had been several brutal murders in Hill City, Texas. then yesterday, Hill City had gone dark. Shortly after state troopers had been sent in and nothing had been heard from them since. When the same thing started happening to other towns in eastern Texas that night, the National Guard had been sent in. Now there were rumors and videos circulating the internet.
The dead were coming back to life.
James and Connor both read the stories in the papers and Connor called his parents to let them know that he and James would be gone for the weekend. James is the oldest at twenty one while Connor is nineteen. Conner had been a marine though he never saw combat. The brothers are very capable with any gun and both know how to survive. This weekend they will be heading to their Montana camp which is in the middle of the Montana ranch to shoot prairie dogs and coyotes. His Dad told him it would probably all blow over and to go enjoy the hunting at the Montana hunting camp so James and Conner did just that. They killed over two hundred prairie dogs and three coyotes.
On Monday they headed back toward the nearest town and its grocery store. James thought it was weird that they didn't pass a single car. As they hit the main street they found the street littered with crashed cars. There were also dead bodies all over the street.
Connor and James checked the first body they saw. Everything smelled like rotting meat. Connor's marine training kicked in big time. He was now treating the area like a war zone. Though he never saw combat his instincts were on high alert. He knew something wasn't right but just what that something was he didn't know.
This is when they saw their first zombie. A woman who was so badly injured there was no way she should be walking or even alive. But walking she was right toward them. Connor shot her in the uninjured leg but once down she kept dragging herself toward he and James. Connor then shot her in the heart. She still kept coming. Connor shot her in the head and she truly died. Connor told James a head shot is the only way to kill these things and he made sure James understood that he had Connor's back and would take those head shots. Now they were both headed to get their parents, family and a few close friends head for Alaska on a plane that Connor flew. The remote location their lodge was in should keep them all safe from the Zombies.
Emmet Wolf was a home when the news broke about what was going on in Texas. Wolf knew his former father in law was the cause. Its something he learned a year ago when he quit his job. The job being head of security for Lifework the company the man owned. He never thought this day would come but now it was here.
Emmet was forty years old and in great shape. His F-450 was black and had many revisions. It was a Super Duty and had been up armored, had bullet proof glass and was in every way a vehicle he could depend on. It was a vehicle he hoped would help them survive. Wolf headed out to get his ex wife and daughter.
What he found when he arrived was dead zombies and George, Jane's husband with a shotgun. They obviously have had their first taste of the zombie apocalypse.
George was coughing and hacking and didn't look well at all. Emmet saw a bite mark on his arm and knew George would become one of the walking dead. Jane wouldn't let Emmet shoot George so Emmet loaded them all up in his truck and headed out knowing full well that he would be killing George as soon as he turned. He kept his eye on George the whole time.
Emmet's twenty year old daughter Alexis was more than happy to see her dad. A Dad who had taught her all about guns and how to use them. He taught her how to defend herself.
Emmett took all of them with him as he headed North. Emmet had been a marine in his younger years and when he left the Corp he went into private security which is how he got the job at Lifework. It was also how he learned what was going to happen. It was something he hoped never would happen but he had prepared his vehicle just in case it did.
So begins one damned fine read.
