Zombie, Book One: Holding Ground, Part 1

By K.J. Jones

A Dark-Humored Apocalypse Influenced by Terrifying True Events. You Will Never Look at Zombie Drugs the Same Way! Coastal Wilmington, North Carolina stands at the crosshairs. The economy struggles. A flu pandemic spreads. Authorities assert crazies popping up all over town are on the newest zombie drug. But everyone's saying they're straight-up zombies--the kind that runs. Suspicion grows that the drug is a government cover story for something much worse. For former Staff Sergeant Peter Sullivan, it's a good thing. War is what he does best. Life is what he sucks at. But for doctoral candidate Phebe Marcelino, it's a descent into kill-or-be-killed. Combat veteran US Army Rangers and Marines-turned-cops band together. The combat is like nothing they have seen before. And their own military never tried to kill them. Only their training and teamwork can get them out of the zone. For Phebe, her survival instinct and intelligence are all she's got. You never know what you're made of until tested. A dark-humor, thrilling apocalypse story influenced by the events of 2012's 'Bath Salts Zombie Apocalypse' and real zombie drugs. From the original release Extinction Level Event by K.J. Jones: "This one goes in the reread pile!" "Love this book. It puts a new spin on zombie fiction, and quite frankly scared the crap out of me, since out of all the zombie books I've read this one seems like it could really happen! The storyline, humor, and action helped keep me reading instead of heading out to buy a bunker."--Carolyn, reviewed December 25, 2022. "Great characters and believable action" "Speaking as a cynical old soldier and nitpicking fool, all I can say about this book is it rocks hard and I could not wait to see the sequel. Most of these types of books are boring and derivative - not this one."--Michael L. Peirce, reviewed June 12, 2020.
