Of Sudden Origin
Call them zombies if you must; America, is at the mercy of a ruthless infection that devolves the intellect into that of a simian fiend. Horrible, yes, merciless, yes, blood thirsty, unquestionably - but it is the offspring of the infected who will change the world: The children of the Fiends are a mutant mind controlling abomination, and there is no defense against them.
Jon Washington is one misstep from being torn apart, eaten alive or becoming a psychotic killer. Broken down in a New Hampshire forest with millions of psychopathic Americans marching on his heals, he meets Nikki Rosen, a disgraced Marine. Together they will cross a crucible of challenges that has outwitted and killed the most resilient among us. In an effort to solve what is being called The Cain’s pandemic, a Hot Zone Team of CDC scientists backed by Special Forces will go to Florida. Along the way they will stare into the the very face of evil. Happenstance combines these disparate groups into an explosive conclusion. Will any survive?
Children of Fiends
An epic exploration into the very heart of darkness, Children of Fiends is a tale of intrigue, murder, madness and mayhem - where Man may no longer be the dominant species on Earth.
Ten years have passed since the modern world was riddled with FNDz (Frontal Negation Dementia) and North America fought to the edge of extinction. America has folded in on itself in perfect isolation. Infected but medically stabilized people live in exile, and beyond the wall known as the Terminus, a new species of Man is growing stronger every day.
On the isolated Mid-Atlantic peninsula of Delmarva, a splinter group of Americans led by a man without morals, have created their own nation. A group of them will follow a team of Northern explorers into the very heart of darkness, awakening the new species to the competition that Homo Sapiens really are. Views: 42
