From its seemingly innocuous beginning, The Oasis of Filth is the chronicle of the outbreak of a mysterious disease that ravages mankind. The story is told by a doctor in suburban Maryland who is on the front lines of discovering the disease, but finds himself quickly overwhelmed by a world that collapses into paranoia, fear and loneliness. He makes an unexpected connection to Rosa, a beautiful woman half his age with an inquisitive nature and inherent sense of hope and resourcefulness, and together they go on a sprawling journey across the eastern United States, finding danger, hope, and possibly even the salvation of the world. But their world is fragile, and soon tragedy strikes. The doctor must decide if love lost is reason enough to damn all of mankind, or if hope and salvation have many faces. He meets other survivors, some good, some not, and soon feels that his path, his decisions, are no longer his own to make. Finally, when faced with mounting injuries, both physical and mental, does he have the strength needed in a world where resources are scarce, life is cheap, and more than 60 years have already passed him by?
What the hell did I know about leading, about trying to save people?I used to think I was saving people, before, back when I was a suburban doctor. That was nothing. The disease that made people into something like zombies didn't just take away the lives of the infected, it took away everything - family, community, civilization itself. How could I save people from that? But the younger ones looked up to me in some weird way, given that I was well past my sixtieth birthday. Maybe they thought it made me wise. And maybe it did, because I knew one thing as clear as day.We might not all get killed by this world, this disease, but there's no way we're all getting out alive.-----A best seller in Post Apocalyptic fiction!SPR review: 5 stars "The book is a strong finale and pushes its characters to their limit without hesitation. Each chapter is tense yet bleak, but the small victories that come with each crossed bridge and hurdle are drunk in by the weary narrator, and the small glimmer of hope he becomes charged with shines on through each terrifying step."IndieReader review: 4.5 stars "A tale of salvation with all too human characters face the ravages of a pandemic. Coupling their minds with their courage, the small band of sojourners finds their way out of the darkness of impending death to a new beginning for the human race.""A wonderful story. This series grabbed me from the start and wouldn't let go. When I wasn't reading it, I was thinking about it. The characters in this story were amazing. Strong willed, funny and someone that I would have called friend.""My favorite apocalyptic tale. The quality of writing and the story line are superb. I am only sad to say that "From Blood Reborn" is the last of the series.""Even though you're reading about a wild, post-apocalyptic time, the tale remains grounded in reality. That's what makes it so chilling."
