Demeter-9: A Military Zombie Apocalypse Space Opera
DEMETER-9
Book Three in the Humanity Shattered Series
The war never ended.
Now something far worse has joined the battlefield.
The crew of the USSCN Týr thought they had survived the worst.
They escaped Kyler Station.
They barely made it off Tressell-113 alive.
And they uncovered a truth the galaxy was never meant to know.
A weaponized plague.
The Necro Virus.
Now the fleet wants the truth buried.
After a brutal debrief and a suspicious data purge, Captain Deker and his battered special operations team receive new
Infiltrate an underground ACRON facility on the war-torn planet Demeter-9.
Retrieve whatever data remains.
Tell no one.
Demeter-9 is the most dangerous battlefield in human space.
For thirty years, the United Solar Systems Cooperative Navy and the Jeraldi Systems Authority have turned the planet into a proving ground for war. Cities are gone. The surface is a graveyard of metal, fire, and broken armies.
But beneath the ruins, something is still transmitting.
A hidden research facility.
A lost communication channel.
And evidence that the Necro Virus may have been tested long before the outbreak.
Worse still, the mission comes with a new team member—Gus Moore, a former operator whose past betrayal nearly got people killed.
Chief Perry doesn't trust him.
Jackson knows he may be hiding something.
And on Demeter-9, trust is the only thing keeping the team alive.
Outnumbered.
Outgunned.
And possibly expendable.
The assault team must fight through a planet consumed by war to uncover the truth.
Because if ACRON finished what it started on Demeter-9…
The Necro Virus won't just destroy cities.
It will end humanity.

About the author
Shamon Harper
29 books18 followersAbout Shamon Harper
Shamon didn't write this bio because even though he "crafts chilling tales that explore the psychological and existential costs of survival in the most hostile environments imaginable" (well, he did write that bit - more like a cry for help), writing about yourself is much more difficult. Shamon brings his love for science fiction and the supernatural, and his background in the military, to deliver heartfelt love stories... torn apart by space zombies. Not to embarrass Shamon with superlatives, but as a reader of science fiction, I can say that when you need to put a book down and wake up your wife to tell her what happened in the story (about space zombies), the author has done some great work. Shamon lives with his wife, Yolanda, who chooses to write about anything but space zombies.
A veteran of the U.S. Army and a lover of all things eerie, Shamon lives in Tampa, Florida, with his wife, Yolanda (also an author), their two golden doodles, and a well-worn stack of sci-fi paperbacks. When he’s not writing, he’s dreaming up new ways to blend heart-pounding action with the haunting unknown.
Shamon Harper is a man with a vivid imagination and a love for both science fiction and horror.
He is the father of three adult children and lives with his wife, Yolanda Harper (also an author), and his two golden doodle dogs in Tampa, Florida.
