What would you do, if the entire world went to nothing overnight? What would you do, if just your own world went to nothing overnight? The UK is infected, and Warren has to tell the world. Breakout is a short introduction to the Great Bitten world.

The UK is infected and Warren is going to be a hero, whether he likes it or not. Life used to be simple; a journalist addicted to his work, Warren's world has been a simple process of annoying friends, shunning family, and doing only what Warren wants. As a virulent plague of unknown origin spreads rapidly across the UK, all of that is about to change. The only person Warren doesn't question is himself as his natural curiosity and world-weary cynicism come to the fore in his clumsy attempts at survival. With the UK in chaos and the government in hiding, will Warren even be able to survive long enough to start finding the answers to the questions eating away inside him? And when he finally realises that there are people in this blighted world that he actually loves, will he be able to do what needs to be done to keep them safe before it is too late? Outbreak introduces the world of the Great Bitten apocalypse, and includes the short story "Breakout" as the story's prologue.
