Publisher's Synopsis
In this zombie apocalypse adventure, the world you knew is gone. Imagine millions of hungry zombies wandering the streets searching for warm meat. There are no more smart phones, birthday parties, baseball games or trips to the mall (unless you're looting). You no longer have to go to work or pay bills. You just have to survive. Manila Zombie is the story of a small group of people caught in the wrong city (Manila, Philippines) at the wrong time - when the zombie apocalypse begins. An estimated 25 million people used to live in Metro Manila, almost 8 times the size of New York City and its surrounding suburbs. The story follows ex-Army helicopter pilot, Jim Taylor, an American who was working in Manila, and his small band of followers as they fight to live through the apocalypse. Jim and his friends watch (from a 20th floor formally luxurious condo, now without power or water in the 100 degree heat) the bloodbath in the streets below where the zombies feed. But they must venture out of their safe haven! Their food and water is almost gone. It's starve or risk being eaten! Jim and Glenn, armed with only penlight flashlights and aluminum baseball bats, descend the building's darkened fire exit stairwell. Will they survive? What will the women and children left behind do if they don't return? Or will they come back dead and even more hungry - for human flesh? Jim doesn't know that his old friend Marine Sgt. Sharnita Stewart and the crew of a C-130 have left Japan in route for Manila. They are in for a surprise when they arrive at Manila International Airport. "That was seriously a great read! It really grabbed my attention and I simply devoured it (pardon the word choice)." Kathy B Tags: zombie, zombie apocalypse, walking dead, apocalypse, horror, Philippines, Manila
