The Last Politician: Book 1 of the Van Diemen Chronicles

By M.C. Rooney

EVERYTHING WAS UPSIDE DOWN, YOU SEE, NOBODY SUSPECTED A THING. SO OUR DOOM CAME FROM THE LIAR, THE ARROGANT AND THE KING.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse have arrived in the Van Diemen Chronicles. Who they are may surprise and offend some people.

In the year 2044 an orchestrated plague of the undead was unleashed upon mankind in order to reduce the world's population. Twenty years later on the island of Tasmania a small community has slowly arisen from the ashes of this destruction but without a political and monetary system and with a new generation of youth who are free from the traditions and conditioning of the past. But a former politician wants to return to the old ways of power and will do anything to see it done, leading to a brutal betrayal of his own people in the abandoned city of Hobart.

'Tasmania has only ever had one hero, ' his grandfather had once told him, and then he came up with a hero's idea, a crazy idea, but an idea nonetheless. Isaac took a deep breath, then moved forward saying, "Bonnet, boot, roof," as he took three leaps to the other car. He then took another breath and leapt forward again, 'bonnet, boot, roof'. He lifted up his sword and took another three leaps. The main road was getting closer and closer as he continued jumping from car to car. Nearing the end of the blockade, he raised his sword to the crowd of red zombies who were moving along with him and stepping all over the white ones, who were almost literally breaking apart. "And Captain Blood bids you a fond farewell " he shouted as he leaped from the last car and hit the road, running flat chat up the main street. He hoped Errol Flynn was a fast runner as well.
