Surgeon Victor Galloway kept death at bay in the operating room -- now death has claimed him. Resurrected against his will and forced to sign a Death Clause, he must fight for his family and his soul.
Victor Galloway is a prominent surgeon and family man. When he suffers a heart attack, he claws his way to the phone and dials 911. The paramedics arrive, smile down at him and quickly administer a lethal injection.
Victors life is ending, but his nightmare has just begun. Close to death and strapped to a gurney, he's offered an unholy deal by Tobias, H.E.L.L.s CEO: Use his surgical skills to harvest the living to feed the undead in exchange for immortality. Refused but not to be denied, Tobias presses his unwilling recruit into the ranks of the undead.
Whether by chance or divine intervention, Victor is different from the others. He is a monster with a conscience, a force for good ensnared by evil, and the only one willing to stand against Tobias and his burgeoning nest of zombies. He must destroy them, but doing so risks the lives of his family and the last hospital employee with a pulse.

He’s a North Carolina resident, IT worker, and all-around family guy. He is also an ardent believer in the quote from Carl van Doren (1885-1950), U.S. man of letters: Yes, it's hard to write, but it's harder not to.
Like Watching Nothing At All So slow! A package that promises to contain a great deal, but in fact contains little of interest. The characters had no life in them whatsoever, and the plot seemed to be moving slower than a glacier. By the halfway point, I had given up hope of the pace picking up, and just wanted it done.
