The Half-Dead: 1: The Heist
An extinction level event has the human race in its grasp. A virus is killing all it infects within seconds. Except the dead won’t stay dead. Now the Half-Dead are hunting the living, hungry for human flesh. Perhaps there is a safe haven in a London bunker, but the doors will be locked at midnight . . .
Harriet had a plan to get rid of her abusive husband. Now she is fleeing for her life from a far greater risk with her teenage daughter Lilly, heading from the North of England to London and a secure bunker that her scientist sister Deb has told her to get to. But Harriet has a secret she never shared with Lilly and is afraid it will bring a wedge between them if Lilly discovers the truth.
Armed robbers Brendan Quigley and Paula Schultz were pulling a heist when the virus broke. The rest of their gang are dead and now they are running for their lives, chased by armed police officer Will Hunter and an army of the non-living. But how were the police waiting for them? Someone grassed them and Quigley has his suspicions.
Filmmaker Eddie Royal and actress Kelly Rose were in the middle of making an adult film when the five strangers forced themselves into his film studio to take shelter from the infected. Worse still, Kelly has a medical problem and has forgotten her medication and now her condition is worsening, putting everyone at risk.
Barricaded in and surrounded by the Half-Dead, can they survive the apocalypse and more importantly, each other. There is conflict from within and the clock is ticking if they want to get to the bunker. Who will survive the Half-Dead to make the final journey?
If you love tales of the undead, an apocalypse, conflict and mystery, then you’ll love the first book in this fast-paced Half-Dead thriller series.
