In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker twenty feet below gorund, a soldier waits for his final orders.

Reviews / Votes
Survival horror at almost its very best . . . Molles and Orbit are certainly onto a winner in a series that deserves to be seen by genre fans be it online or on paper * THE BOOK BAG * These are my current favorite post-apocalyptic zombie novels! . . . I love how this series builds fantastic characters and poses them with and against one another in super believable situations. I can believe this future...The action is detailed and vivid * BOING BOING * A well written, taut adventure novel with characters that definitely make a mark * SF CROWSNEST * A thoroughly entertaining read (think Matthew Reilly meets 28 Days Later and you won't go too far wrong) that has me eagerly awaiting the sequel * GRAEME'S SFF * The Walking Dead fans, this one would be right up your alley . . . Pure zombie fiction fun * BIBLIOSANCTUM * Sharply targeted sentences depict an acutely human action hero who wrestles his anxiety . . . Molles's precise construction gives readers ample reason to return, as does the agonizing companion novella, which provides an unnerving view of what occurred while Lee was waiting to begin his mission * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY * A solidly entertaining action adventure with just enough horror to keep things nice and tense * THE ELOQUENT PAGE * Those who crave a military take on a zombie-like outbreak will want to check [this] out * LIBRARY JOURNAL *More details
