It''s impossible to mind your own business in an apocalypse. Thieves, pillagers, murderers-these lovely folks used to be your neighbors. At least your best friend gives you an out when he calls from Alaska, asking for help to avenge his wife''s murder. Cataclysmic earthquakes have decimated the American West, sending the country into chaos. As the Talbot family seeks refuge in the Rockies amid a rising catastrophe, a desperate SOS from BT uproots their plans for survival to send them on a world-altering quest for revenge, rescue, and the very life of the human race. Because something worse is stirring at the geographic epicenter of the disaster-Devils Desk, Alaska. The quakes have done more than just upend the country. Unaware of the nature of this new threat, the Talbots head into the breach to take on a rift to a dark dimension where a monstrous, boreal race awakens... As the unstoppable enemy masses in the paralyzed West, familiar characters from Talbot''s universe converge to form a resistance, but will it be enough to defeat this cataclysmic foe? Find out in book 2 of the brand-new apocalyptic series from the bestselling author of Zombie Fallout and Indian Hill.

The crew of the SS Jimmy Carter is stranded on the tropical shoreline of Brazil, but Mike Talbot and his squad are not enjoying the beach. The Brazilian government might have failed in the end times, but the jungle is rife with violently patriotic guerrillas-and not the cool banana eating type. Humans can be reasonable, more or less...but zombies? Not so much. The undead are alive and well in South America, and they are raging. Zombies are mutating, transforming at an untenable rate. They are bigger, stronger and more terrifying than ever, and best of all, the newest adaptations are nearly impossible to kill. Losses are piling up, burdening Mike and causing him nightmares-and daymares. His spirituality is tested by apparitions and visitations, and the captain is finally at his breaking point. With barely enough people left to make the trek, it seems his goal to head home to Colorado may end up just a foolish dream after all.

Raising twins deep in a protected wood sounds like an ideal task, but when the kids are dangerously magical and just learning how to control their abilities, life can get dicey. Michael Talbot prepares for a difficult trial as his wife Azile, the powerful Red Witch, is called away on urgent matters and he is left alone in charge of his challenging offspring. Fortunately, Uncle Mathieu, werewolf and Brew Master, arrives to help out. It should have been a swell reunion for them, but conspiracy and war are upon them overnight and they become embroiled in diabolical machinations that no spell of protection can hide them from. Lycan, craven flesh-rending beasts and sworn enemies of Man, are once again preparing to enslave the remnants of Humanity, and dark, otherworldly sources are backing their claim to rule the land. Entities created to extinguish Existence have been loosed from the netherworld, and the multiverse is balanced on a knife''s edge. Suddenly, no one is safe, and the Talbot children become targets of inestimable worth. Will Azile''s power and Mike''s supernatural attributes be sufficient to protect them? This is the opening salvo: if the Talbots manage to hold back the tide of evil, will Heaven and Hell crash upon them and wipe the slate clean?

Zombie Fallout Box set Books 1-3 Zombie Fallout Zombie Fallout 2: A Plague Upon Your Family Zombie Fallout 3: The End... It was a flu season like no other. With the H1N1 virus running rampant throughout the country, people lined up in droves to try and attain one of the coveted vaccines. What was not known was the effect this largely untested, rushed to market, inoculation was to have on the unsuspecting throngs. Within days, feverish folk throughout the country convulsed, collapsed, and died, only to be reborn. With a taste for brains, blood, and bodies, these modern-day zombies scoured the lands for their next meal. Overnight the country became a killing ground for the hordes of zombies that ravaged the land. This is the story of Michael Talbot, his family, and his friends: a band of ordinary people trying to get by in extraordinary times. When disaster strikes, Mike, a self-proclaimed survivalist, does his best to ensure the safety and security of those he cares for.

Michael Talbot and his crew are sailing happily along aboard their nuclear aircraft carrier, The USS Jimmy Carter, building an ideal community, saving the planet from zombies and madmen in ports far and wide and.... Nope. That''s some other book. The gang''s out to sea alright, but under the worst possible meaning of the phrase. Vague rumors of budding discord now take an ugly, violent turn, pitting the squad against mutineers and malcontents from every sector, and some of the plotters are from Talbot''s own House. What''s worse than a bloody uprising at sea? Zombies! Though command assures us they have everything under control, total Hell breaks loose as Colonel Eastman''s secret pets mutate, escape, and wreak murderous havoc on all decks. These new monsters are smart and nearly impossible to kill. The carrier and crew can no longer survive the brutal assault on it from both sides. Can The Talbot gang possibly overcome battling terrorists, super-zombies, and a hopelessly damaged ship? As the Demi-Goddess Poena has been known to say: "Let''s throw a hurricane down upon them." Doomed, you say? Quite possibly.

Nigeria. The densely packed cities are abandoned and in ruins. Isolated villages survive behind locked doors under constant threat of a war on two fronts; a war the living cannot win. Hidden miles into the desert is a secret weapon that, if unleashed, will bring peace—but at the risk of total annihilation. Undermanned and with scant resources, Michael Talbot''s squad of misfits is ordered to retrieve classified data of the utmost imperative. In a concealed laboratory, buried deep underground, the squad discovers a monstrous super-race that will either be humanity''s greatest weapon or deliver a blood soaked end to their existence. The mission becomes perilous and terrifying; all may not survive. Above ground, zombies have made startling progress, and the team faces a powerful necromancer who controls an army of the dead. There is a magic here, though, that Michael never dared hope for. Meanwhile, aboard the floating city, the USS Jimmy Carter, a malcontented faction is hatching plans of violence and insurrection. Even within Talbot''s own squad there are mutinous whispers. How many lines will be crossed? What is the price of loyalty and honor? Is it the cost of survival? Join Michael Talbot, BT, and their daredevil team on a gripping adventure to restore the world to the living!
