Infected
Frank Tayell - 2016
For years it has bribed, blackmailed, and murdered in pursuit of global domination. In an attempt to destroy it, Tom Clemens rigged the presidential election. His candidate won, but the conspiracy wasn’t stopped. Framed for murder, Tom is on the run. Searching for evidence of the cabal’s plans, he is in Manhattan when the impossible happens. People attack one another. The victims die. They come back. Zombies. Uncertain who created the outbreak, but knowing it’s connected to the conspiracy, Tom flees New York. As law and order breaks down, the undead spread throughout America. Tom searches for the scientist who might be able to stop the outbreak, unaware that the conspirators are searching for him. From Surviving the Evacuation, this is the story of Sholto, the beginning of the outbreak, and the people who tried to stop it. The story will continue in Book 2: Divided, out this summer. I would recommend you read Surviving the Evacuation Books 1-3 prior to this novel. Please note: As the President of the United States is a background character, and the presidential election a background event, American English has been used in this book though with some British spellings in deference to the fact that most of Surviving the Evacuation takes place in the United Kingdom.

Violet, a young bartender, is determined to escape the chaos that has suddenly been let loose in Lynden. She must make it to Seattle to find her mother and sister. They need her, and with communications down there is no way for her to get in touch with them to find out if they are alright- or even alive. Violet knows that she must do everything in her power to find her family. They are all she has left, and she can’t allow them to meet a slow death at the hands of merciless crazed cannibals. Fynn, Lynden’s most dangerous and misunderstood young man who drowns memories of his dark past in alcohol, decides to join Violet on her mission to Seattle. He is not her first choice for company, but with people ripping each other to pieces, Violet takes comfort in the simple fact that she is not alone.
