The Z-Risen Boxset (Books 1 - 6)
The world ended fast. The dead got back up even faster.
Jackson Creed—a Navy machinist mate—thought his biggest problem was surviving another day at sea. That was before the outbreak turned San Diego into a slaughterhouse. Forced to abandon ship, Creed finds himself stranded on land, where civilization has collapsed, and the infected aren’t the only monsters roaming the ruins.
Enter Marine Sergeant Joel “Cruze” Kelly—battle-hardened, short on patience, and carrying more than just military-issue baggage. When their paths collide, Creed and Cruze form an uneasy alliance, one forged in gunfire, blood, and a mutual need to not end up zombie chow. But survival in this new world isn’t just about avoiding the dead—it’s about outsmarting the living, dodging ruthless scavengers, and facing the creeping truth that humanity is just as dangerous as the infection itself.
Through city streets choked with corpses, underground tunnels crawling with horrors, and a world where every decision could be their last, Creed and Cruze must trust each other—or die alone.
For fans of Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Mark Tufo, and Max Brooks, Z-RISEN delivers relentless action, dark humor, and an apocalyptic thrill ride that doesn’t let up.
All six books, one brutal, adrenaline-fueled collection. Get ready for the fight of your life.
