Extinction Level Event, Book One

Coastal Wilmington, North Carolina stands at the crosshairs. The economy struggles. A flu pandemic spreads. Authorities assert crazies popping up all over town are on a new designer street drug akin to bath salts and flakka. But everyone’s calling them zombies.
The kind that runs and bites but feels no pain. Then why are dogs presenting the same symptoms? War vets and young civilians experience their world of normalcy infiltrated. Suspicion grows the drug is a government cover story for something much worse. The clock ticks over five days. Things grow weirder without explanation from the government or media. Until the end of the week. For former Staff Sergeant Peter Sullivan, it’s a good thing. War is what he does best. Life is what he sucks at. But for doctoral candidate Phebe Marcelino, it’s a descent into kill or be killed. Veteran US Army 75th Ranger Regiment, a wounded warrior Delta sniper, and Marines-turned-cops band together. The combat is like nothing they have seen before. And their own military never tried to kill them in the past. Only their training and teamwork can get them out of the hot zone. For Phebe, her survival instinct is all she has. You never know what you’re made of until tested. EXTINCTION LEVEL EVENT, the love child of Contagion and Black Hawk Down meets 28 Weeks Later at a Monty Python festival. Warning: Adult Language, Politically Incorrect Humor, & Gritty Military Banter.
