The Gathering Horde

Zed's World #0.5

by Rich Baker

The most ambitious terrorist plot ever undertaken is about to be put into motion, releasing an unstoppable force against humanity. Ordinary people - a group of students celebrating the end of the semester, suburban and rural families - are about to find themselves in the center of something that threatens the survival of the human species. As they battle the dead - and the living - it's going to take every bit of skill, knowledge and luck for them to survive in Zed's World.

The Gathering Horde introduces readers to Zed's World, the first seven episodes of an online serial saga released for the first time with updated content as a novella. Go to www.zedprep.com to join the mailing list and see exclusive content before it's available to the public!

About the author

One of the things that has drawn Rich to the post-apocalyptic genre is how it resets everything.

"The rules of society get turned on their head. What's important immediately becomes very Maslowian. In the case of the zombie plague, safety even takes precedence over the physiological needs. How people would react to that situation is fascinating to me. I try to weave many different perspectives into my writing because no two people, or two groups of people, will have the same reaction. It makes for some interesting scenarios and unlimited causes of conflict."

The novella The Gathering Horde and the follow up novel Roads Less Traveled explore just such a universe of events. The third book in the Zed's World series is almost done, so now is a great time to get caught up on what happened so far...
