FREE for Kindle at amazon right now: Planet Urth by Jennifer Martucci. 284 pages of sci-fi action and adventure.

More than two hundred years into the future, human beings are an endangered species. The planet has been battered by war, its inhabitants plagued by disease and death. Few humans survived and remained unaffected. Most changed dramatically and evolved into something else entirely. Irrevocable alterations caused by chemical warfare have created a new species. North America is in ruins and has been overtaken. Humanity has fallen at the hands of mutants known as Urthmen.

Seventeen year-old Avery is alive and unchanged. But she has not been immune to the harshness of the new world. She has lived on the run for much of her life, in terror.

After losing her father, Avery is the sole guardian of her eight-year-old sister, June. Avery is now charged with June’s safety as well as her own, a nearly impossible task.

Forced to hide deep in the forest and away from the cities overrun by Urthmen, Avery and her sister are constantly hunted. Danger awaits them at every turn. They fear they are the only human beings left, that they are the last of their kind. But are they truly alone?

Find out in this raw and rousing first installment of the Planet Urth series.

RecruitZ - FREE undead sci-fi

recruitz

FREE for Kindle at Amazon. 332 pages of undead sci-fi.

Have you tasted fear? I have. It's bitter and lingers in your mouth long after the moment has passed. That fear kept me alive during the apocalypse. I never stopped moving, and I never gave up hope.

The outbreak is over and vaccinations have been administered, but I'm tasting that fear again. Why? Because the undead have returned, and this time there's no stopping them or the people who control them. But I refuse to give up.

The outbreak might be over, but the nightmare is just beginning.

Zombie Fallout - FREE crazy zombie fun

fallout

FREE for Kindle at Amazon. 328 pages of crazy zombie fun.

Estimates say that nearly three thousand people nationwide, and fifteen thousand people worldwide have died of the H1N1 virus or Swine flu and nearly eighty thousand cases have been confirmed in hospitals and clinics across the United States and the world, the World Heath Organization reported. The influenza pandemic of 2010, while not nearly as prolific as the one that raged in 1918 still has citizens around the world in a near state of panic.


New York Post (Headlines October 31st) - Beware! Children Carry Germs! - Halloween Canceled!


New York Times - (Headlines November 3rd) - Swine flu claims latest victim - Vice President surrounded by family and friends at the end.


Boston Globe - (Headlines November 28th) - Swine Flu Vaccinations Coming!


Boston Herald - (Headlines December 6th) - Shots in Short Supply - Lines Long!


National Enquirer - (Headlines December 7th) - The Dead Walk!


There would be no more headlines.


It started in a lab at the CDC (Center for Disease Control), virologists were so relieved to finally have an effective vaccination against the virulent swine flu. Pressure to come up with something had come from the highest office in the land. In an attempt at speed the virologists had made two mistakes, first they used a live virus and second they didn't properly test for side effects. Within days hundreds of thousands of vaccinations shipped across the US and the world.

People lined up for the shots, like they were waiting in line for concert tickets. Fights broke out in drugstores as fearful throngs tried their best to get one of the limited shots. Within days the CDC knew something was wrong. Between 4 and 7 hours of receiving the shot roughly 95% succumbed to the active H1N1 virus in the vaccination. More unfortunate than the death of the infected was the added side effect of reanimation, it would be a decade before scientists were able to ascertain how that happened.  The panic that followed couldn't be measured. Loved ones did what loved ones always do, they tried to comfort, their kids or their spouses or their siblings, but what came back was not human not even remotely.

Those people that survived their first encounter with these monstrosities usually did not come through unscathed, if bitten they had fewer than 6 hours of humanity left, the clock was ticking. During the first few hysteria ridden days of The Coming as it has become known, many thought the virus was airborne, luckily that was not the case or nobody would have survived. It was a dark time in human history. One from which we may never be able to pull ourselves out of the ashes from.

Panic - free zombies are the best zombies




CLICK HERE to get this book for free at Amazon, right now!

FREE for Kindle at Amazon. 282 pages of zombie apocalypse.

Michael Evans is only in rural St. Davids to maintain a low profile after his time spent as a city cop ended in disaster. The town is perfect for him: isolated. A tiny population. Virtually no crime.

Until the night the strange canisters fall from the sky and the town priest starts killing people with his teeth. To Michael, the bloodbath looks like a murder case that the quiet town's two police officers can't possibly handle.

But this isn't just a crime scene.

And the priest is just the beginning...
Q & A with the author


Q. What is Wildfire Chronicles?

At its core, Wildfire Chronicles is my take on the classic zombie apocalypse tale, but I wanted to put my own spin on it. So what we have is not zombies in the traditional sense, but something more targeted. Something with a little more purpose.


Q. What was the original inspiration behind the story?

There are numerous ways to answer that, but the very first idea was quite simple: what if you had one of those James Bond-style villains - or even a whole network of them - but no James Bond to stop them? What if nobody knew anything about their plan to destroy the world before they actually implemented it? I thought it would be cool to explore the idea of one story starting where others might end. After that it seemed only natural to tell the story from the perspective of ordinary, everyday people whose lives are changed in an instant, and how they evolve to cope.


Q. There aren't too many zombie apocalypse tales set in Wales...

I felt like the idea of an infection hitting a city has been done, and done very well. So I was interested to set the story in a place where isolation plays a key part. For some people, the virus won't reach them for a while, and when it does, they won't have easy access to supplies, or many ways to escape. And then there's the lack of guns. There are very few in Wales, so few as to render them almost worthless. At least against the Infected...


Q. What do you hope the reader gets out of Wildfire Chronicles?

Pure entertainment, and hopefully a few chills along the way. After the initial scene-setting, the books are written in a fast, breathless sort of style. I'd categorize them as action-horror more than anything.


Q. And finally, what is Project Wildfire?

I'm afraid that's classified.
