The Noble Man Cometh
In 2003, the world came to an end for man as the virus swept like wildfire across the world, resembling everyone's ideas of a zombie apocalypse. Cities burned in an attempt to contain something no one understood.
A decade later, mankind teeters closer to the brink of extinction. A small, walled camp on the outskirts of St. Louis has become nearly overlooked by human and zombie alike, the members becoming their own society while being sheltered from the world outside.
Enter William Noble, an anomaly of a man, found one day while a small patrol is searching for specimens a team of doctors requires. William is a man trapped between two worlds, infected in the beginning, he is able to walk among the living while sharing the life of the undead.
Upon his capture, William finds himself inside their camp as they seek answers this 'man' may be able to provide. While looking for a window of escape, William becomes intrigued with one of the humans, her scent unlike anything he has ever encountered. But when an outside threat comes for this isolated group, he manages to talk himself free and sets out to protect them, only to find his own past has come knocking.
Will he be the hero they desperately need or the monster they should all fear?

My mother met my father while he was working in Japan for a car manufacturing company. It was an odd pairing really. He was much older and he had 3 teenage sons of his own already. They lived back home in the Philippines where he was born. My mom had just turned 23 and

The title says a lot for this novella. The Noble Man Cometh is almost like a prophecy of sorts… Indeed... Hmmmmm…
Kenneth Lashley debut novella is innovative; creatively intriguing and yet again an interesting twist to the zombie genre. The characters are well thought out and bring a certain draw to the story. Each and every one literally SUCKS your interest with every revealed character trait. Such an interesting way for Mr. Lashley to have his audience begs for more of the story. 90 pages is just not enough for us my friend!!!
The main character, William, is like a zombie version of Blade’s day walker. He has the virus of the zombie but the traits of a human AND he can walk amongst both. He is pretty hardcore. The world was built with much enthusiasm so I am very much looking forward to the next installments!! Especially since I have so many unanswered questions!!!
I tip my Nerd Girl hat to you!! Bring it on Kenneth!!!
