Load your shotgun, sharpen your machete, and get ready for the first blood-splattered installment in the Mortuous 28 series by International Bestselling and Global Book Award-winning author Kevin W. K. Moore. This unrelenting, nightmarish odyssey is seething with gore, violence, vile human behaviour, and hordes of festering, undead monsters.
Ashes of Civilization is sure to satisfy your lust for gut-wrenching carnage and bloodcurdling despair.
Thaddeus Stormbreaker, a hardened Finnish-Canadian immigrant, is forced to decide his fate when a viral infection dubbed Mortuous 28 spreads, unchecked, across the globe, turning man and beast into insatiable undead predators.
When the infection crashes into North America, Canada’s leaders abandon their people to save themselves, leaving millions to survive the violence and self-protectionism that is spreading faster than the undead.
With his electric campervan, Thaddeus claws his way 1600 kilometres north toward his family’s secluded cabin in the woods. As people devolve faster than the infection can spread, he quickly learns that the living are far more dangerous than the undead. When isolation begins to chip and fracture his sanity, Thaddeus takes a dangerous gamble and picks up a lone hitchhiker. Together, they push through the endless bush, soaked in fear.
In the rotting hellscape south, what’s left of the skeletal U.S. government ignores whispers of a cure, choosing blood over hope instead. As ever-swelling hordes march across the eastern states, the U.S. government turns its guns inward, tightening control instead of offering protection.
As the U.S. government prepares for a sacrificial stand that demands catastrophic collateral damage, Marie-Soleil Surprenant, a fearless rogue journalist, risks everything to break through government censorship and expose the truth. When starvation finally outweighs terror, she forces her fear aside and ventures out from the false safety of her apartment—only to find self-preservation has stripped humans of their humanity.
The sixth great extinction is upon us. Time is running out. Can a cure be found? Or has humankind’s time on earth come to an end?

When I first saw the cover for Mortuous 28: Ashes Of Civilization by Kevin W K Moore, I thought it could be a graphic novel. It isn’t. It is a full length novel, filled with blood and gore. I will warn you, this is a series and, so far, this is the only published book. How long will we have to wait for Book II? I don”t know. Hopefully not long, because I am hanging off the cliff.
We get right to it from the getgo. There was the Covid pandemic, war with Russia, the Second Great Depression, and now we have a biological virus that creates zombies and a war with China on the horizon. How much more can humans take? Is it every man for themselves? We sure know that the rich and powerful aren’t sharing.
Anybody that reads a lot of apocalyptic and dystopian novels knows the drill. There’s a lot of blood, guts, gore and death. People drop like flies. I love it! Thaddeus Stormbreaker is battling his way through the flesh eating zombies, trying to get to Mexico. Will he make it?
We’ll have to wait until the next part of the ongoing saga of Mortuous 28. I hope you are writing fast Kevin, because I have this burning desire to know more.
