The world’s first and probably last anti-running, anti-prepping fat man has survived the zombie apocalypse against all odds. He’s eaten his way through all the chocolate he could find and still been more than a match for the army of un-dead taking over the world. Along with his demented beagle Doug and ‘not sure if real’ friend Bob, Jim escaped Australia by the skin of his teeth and set up shop on ‘Jim Island’. But island life was not all it was cracked up to be and a quest to find other survivors and more curry draws them back into the thick of battle. Except this time they do it without Betty the battle truck, making do with ‘Das Gas Ship’ a massive LNG tanker vessel. Along the way the flood gates to another world open and the battle takes on an unworldly quality.The mixed up zombie warrior team of unlikely people grows with the discovery of other survivors, including a girl and her mother who seem to be stealing Doug’s affections and a young man just as crazy as Jim. If this is the hope of humanity then humanity is doomed.Onwards for vindaloo or for death!
Rev Dean Thomas was born in Ryde Sydney and is most likely Australia’s fastest fat man. dean
Dean is a very passionate man who has experienced many strange things. For example he passionately hates sand and salt water, but strangely has saved two people from drowning while at the beach. And he lives in a coastal town. His taste in food is simple - the hotter the better! He loves to cook curry and burn the tonsils off anyone who is brave enough to join him.
By trade Dean is a cabinetmaker, apple mac technician, ordained Baptist minister and all round super handsome guy who does like to exaggerate somewhat, especially in his writing.
Living in Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, he enjoys the comfort of sitting indoors where there is no sand or salt water with the air-conditioning set at a chilly 18 degrees, while watching the motogp or world superbikes or anything else that goes vroom vroom.
Dean’s favourite hobbies include riding old motorcycles as fast as possible to sample the delights of bakeries all over Australia. Wherever he has travelled he has been on the look out for zombie hordes and has become an expert in recognising any suitable zombie fortress… just in case it is ever needed.
