[The Plague 02] • Zombie Sickness

From M. Scott Burgess comes a new episodic book-series that reimagines and redefines the zombie apocalypse genre.

In the near future, the world has died. With no warning, all technology and communication have inexplicably shut down and zombies have begun to rise. They feed on the living, pulling more to their ranks as they spread at an impossible rate.

But hope survives, as a small band of survivors work together to escape from Southern California in hopes of finding sanctuary from this zombie-infested world. Their goal is to find some remnants of civilization but the farther they venture, the more they become aware that the world as they know it has been forever lost.

What they don’t realize is that there are things hiding in the shadows, things that are far worse than zombies.

Zombie Sickenss is the second episode in the series. It follows the story of Kai Ward, an EMT who witnesses the outbreak firsthand and picks up where Dean's story left off in Dead Solstice. (20,495 words)
