On a beautiful early-fall evening, a couple is attacked in Times Square by a seemingly deranged vagrant. An ER unit is dispatched to the scene and returns to the emergency room with two victims, one seriously injured, the other dead on arrival. Or so they think. The prequel to the best-selling Zombie D.O.A. series follows the events leading up to the zombie epidemic, as a seemingly routine ER call quickly spirals out of control - with deadly results.

On a beautiful early-fall evening a vagrant stumbles into Times Square and attacks a tourist, setting off a deadly chain of events that might just spell the end of civilization as we know it.

And then there's Ruby, just one day old but already equipped with teeth and nails, and a taste for pureed beef.

After escaping from Zombie-infested New York City, Chris Collins travels across the devastated ruins of what was once America. The Zs rule the cities, but they are by no means the only threat.

All this while trying to find the three-year-old daughter he last saw when she was a new born baby. Throw in a psychotic wannabe gunslinger, a Zombie super-model, and a psychopath who gets his kicks throwing people from skyscrapers and you have a rip-roaring adventure with more twists and turns than a coiled rattlesnake.

Q - What makes the Zombie D.O.A series so special? A - A number of things. When I started writing this series, I set out to create the kind of books I enjoy reading. I love post-apocalyptic fiction like Stephen King's "The Stand" and Robert McCammon's "Swan Song" and, of course, "The Walking Dead," so I wanted to create something on the massive scale of those horror classics. However, I wanted the story to work on a smaller scale too, really getting into the hearts and minds of the characters. Judging by the feedback from readers, the series works on both those levels. Yes, it's scary zombie post apocalyptic fiction, zombie survival fiction, zombie thriller. But it's also about realistic characters who the reader can root for (or despise, as the case may be). Overall, the Zombie D.O.A. series is fast-paced, kickass and scary. It's a real page turner with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night. Q - What order should I read the books in? A - There are 21 books in all and they should be read in the following ( Each series (1 - 5) is also available as a box set. Buying that way works out about 60% cheaper) Q - There are lots of zombie books out there, why should readers give these books a try? A - Once again, I can only pass on what my loyal readers have said. I was deeply flattered to hear the series described as, "as good as The Walking Dead," "the best zombie series out there," and "impossible to put down." Other readers have commented on the breakneck pace, unique plot twists and unforgettable characters." All in all, the series is fast paced, scary and, in parts, deeply moving. If you enjoy post apocalyptic fiction told on a massive scale, with larger than life characters and lots of unexpected plot twists, you'll enjoy this...period. Zombie D.O.A. Series eBook
