Description
Zombies, the mafia and murder, all in the state that America loves to hate!
Admit it, didn't you always think the zombie apocalypse would begin in New Jersey?
When scientific research into curing both hunger and obesity goes terribly wrong, a fast moving plague is unleashed and sweeps across New Jersey. The state is abandoned by the country and sealed off from the world. The victims have become horrific mutations of their former selves. The inhabitants are left to kill or to die.
A soldier, a scientist, a detective, a mobster, a politician and a prepper, along with a beautiful yet dangerous woman from the Philippines, must come together during the first 48 hours of the outbreak and journey through chaos towards their only chance of escape on the Garden State Parkway-Exit Zero.

Reviews / Votes
"I just died and went to Zombie heaven!" -- Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi "In a genre filled with flesh-and-brain eating ghouls, Neil Cohen has carved out a niche for himself. Exit 0 pays homage to the stories that came before it, while deftly adding a flourish to the mythos!" -- Mike Zapcic of AMC's Comic Book Men and Jay and Silent Bob's Super Groovy Cartoon Movie "Exit Zero is a quick read, and genuinely tries to tell a different tale using some of our traditional zombie lore and modern conspiracy stories. I'd recommend it to folks looking for something a little strange who believe the zombie tale is a vehicle for satire and social critique." * docterror.com * "As a scientist working to protect germs from people I found the story smart and its killer twist quite riveting. Neil Cohen takes the reader on the wild side of the dual use dilemma in biotechnology and into the dark side of science experimentation." -- Dr. Dana Perkins, UN Security Council Committee 1540, Nuclear, Chemical and Biological Weapons Group of Experts. "A must read for any fan of the Zombie Genre. It epitomizes everything an account of a Zombie outbreak needs to be." -- Graeme Martin, beyondthegore.co.ukMore details

Person
Originally from New Jersey, Neil A. Cohen has spent the past 15 years working for a Washington, DC based defense firm with a focus on counter-WMD, mass casualty, civil unrest and terrorism response. He interacts regularly with military leaders and scientists from governments both foreign and domestic.
As a lifelong fan of zombies and apocalyptic literature and films, he has often had discussions with his clients about how a true zombie pandemic could come about and how it would be managed. The author was amazed at how many within the military and first responder community had put serious consideration into this scenario and created actual plans on how they would respond. While unlikely, nothing is in this book is impossible.
Neil has been writing articles and appearing as a public speaker for more than 25 years and has always added his dark sense of humor to his material. Neil currently lives outside of Washington, D.C. with his wife Vicki, two daughters Sasha and Hannah.
