book cover THROUGH THE RAGING PLAGUE

At Tom Smith’s previous gig, he was the global managing director for security of an international bank. Then the zombies emerged. And New York burned. His plan to the save the city long enough to find a cure for the zombie virus didn’t work out as planned, but Tom and a few trusted allies were able to escape. Now they seek refuge in the bank's prepared evacuation retreat in the Cumberland Valley of Tennessee. Between them and relative safety are hundreds of miles of clogged roads, burnt-out towns and howling mobs of infected humans who know only hunger. And even if Tom does pull off the journey, no one is sure how they are going to restart civilization. But even for that, Tom Smith has the spark of an idea. And, as always, the beginnings of a plan.
