Synopsis

Book #2 of The Survivor Chronicles series.Captain Andrew McKenzie is reassigned to a secret military post near Fort Hood, Texas, with instructions to oversee research and disseminate intelligence. He never thought that being placed at the North Star facility would put him in a position to choose between his military career and his own life.On the other side of the world, a special forces team uncovers a secret and terrible virus in an underground lab, hidden deep within the jungles of Zaire, that will propel the entire world into a misery of untold proportions. The special forces team is forced to deal with the effects of the virus while trying to evade the rebel forces commanded by General Mumbatu. The missiles are primed to launch, loaded with the virus, and aimed at the United States and its allies.THE WAR OF THE DEAD follows the experiences of both Andy McKenzie and the insertion team in a parallel fashion as the world moves closer and closer to the climax of a global disaster. Everyone on earth will soon learn that the threat of attack was only the first in a multitude of terrors, and the only thing separating the survivors from the dead is time.When the world stands at the precipice of the apocalypse, all voices are silent. All eyes are fixed on a single moment in history. They can only wait to see the outcome of the events that will determine who lives and who dies. The attention of so many is focused on the actions of so few - the ones who can decide the fate of millions with the utterance of a single word. In a world such as this, the only things left are life and death.Other books in the #1: The Dying Times (Nov. 2010)Book #3: Prisoner and Survivor (May 2011)Book #4: A World Forsaken (est.
