Zombie Apocalypse: Three Complete Novels
Three Standalone Novels From the Zombie Apocalypse Series
Clancy's meticulous research and attention to detail make the outbreak chilling plausible, grounding the horror in scientific possibility. Prepare for sleepless nights and racing hearts as you follow the interconnected stories of soldiers, scientists, teenagers, and ordinary people thrust into extraordinary circumstances. With cinematic action and deeply human characters, Michael K. Clancy reimagines the zombie genre for a new generation.
The Origin
When a catastrophic scientific accident unleashes a virus that raises the dead, civilization collapses overnight. As cities fall and the government crumbles, a handful of survivors must navigate a landscape crawling with flesh-eating zombies and ruthless human predators.
Dr. Benjamin Lieber and Colonel Jack Crown, M.D., race to evacuate key personnel to a fortified compound. At the same time, Coach Mark Landi leads a group of teenagers in a desperate bid for survival. When Landi is bitten but shows immunity, he becomes humanity's best hope for a cure—if he can reach the safety of the Virginia compound alive.
Zombie The Origin comprises the entire Z-Factor series, Books 1-4: How I Started the Zombie Apocalypse, Zombie Protocols, Zombie Contagion, and Zombies and Men.
WILDFIRE
Three months after the outbreak of the devastating Z-Factor virus, the world teeters on the brink of collapse. Cities have fallen, governments have crumbled, and the walking dead roam the earth—but a small band of survivors refuses to give up hope.
At the top-secret Outbreak Compound in Virginia, Colonel Jack Crown and his soldiers work tirelessly to protect the last remnants of humanity. Among them are civilians Mark Landi and his teenage daughter Claire, whose unique immunity may be key to early treatment and potentially a vaccine. As zombies pound at the compound's gates, brilliant scientists like Dr. Benjamin Lieber experiment to unlock the secrets of the Z-Factor before it's too late.
But other threats abound. Ruthless marauders roam the countryside, willing to kill and torture for scarce resources. Zbigniew Volkov, a dangerous Russian operative with a mysterious agenda, masterminds a search for the Outbreak Compound. The compound comes under attack from both the living and the dead, testing alliances and demanding heroic sacrifices.
Clancy immerses readers in his richly imagined post-apocalyptic world, balancing thrills with thoughtful explorations of how humanity might respond to a civilization-ending pandemic.
Clancy's Z-Factor zombies are terrifying and ingeniously imagined, and the Z-Factor virus that created them holds dark secrets. Paranoid world powers point fingers and edge closer to launching nuclear missiles.
Shocking twists, unexpected deaths, and a surprise ending will leave you clamoring for the next book in the series.
Ghost Territory
The United States is in chaos as hordes of the undead ravage the country. General Gary Markum, virologist Dr. Benjamin Lieber, and Colonel Jack "Ghost" Crown, M.D., lead a secret military compound working on a cure. Simultaneously, Jack and his men battle zombies and vicious marauders to expand the Crown Territory safe zone.
When Spetsnaz troops led by the ruthless Anton Abelev plan to invade and steal their research, Jack wages a deadly battle of wits with the Russian whose job is deception. Abelev uses a role-playing game to entrap Jack's men, while Jack and Dr. Lieber use their research to counterattack with a high-risk gambit.
