And when a hated enemy offers help in finding the so-called source of the Flense and a promise to put an end to their misery, do they trust him?

WHEN A DEADLY VIRUS SWEEPS ACROSS LONG ISLAND... THE DEAD BEGIN TO RISEThe year is 2030. The government's experiment with reanimating the dead for use as soldiers and slaves is only a few years old. It's about to go mainstream in a very big and very deadly way. Dr. Lyssa Stemple's life is spiraling out of control. Her baby boy had died just weeks before, and her husband Ramos moved out of the house. Her daughter, Cassie, blames her for the death of her pet rabbit. And when the animals on the island start acting crazy, people point their fingers at the controversial animal research laboratory she runs with Ramos. But then a technician in her lab is brutally murdered, and she learns that she is the primary suspect. Knowing she's innocent, Lyssa tries to flee the island. But is she already too late? Is her daughter's strange behavior a symptom of the dysfunction in her family, or a sign of something far more terrifying to contemplate? A Dark and Sure Descent is the epic prequel to the highly acclaimed undead series, ZPOCALYPTO, which has been described as THE WALKING DEAD meets THE RUNNING MAN and a wholly original take on the undead genre.

In the forge of a burning America, battle lines are hardening. A New World Order of extremism and anarchy is threatening to rise.Zander Hollis is a man on the run... straight into the jaws of danger.
