THE ROMERO STRAIN (Author's Edition)
For J.D. Nichols and his dog Max the day started out like any other, with a walk along the streets of the Lower East Side. The morning was not uneventful. It was the day J.D. needed his skills as a paramedic and his extensive knowledge of New York's underground to survive a zombie outbreak.
Coming to the aid of a young girl, they flee to a nearby power facility and are chased into the city's underground by a zombie horde. Along their subterranean journey, they gather survivors while traveling to Grand Central Terminal, where J.D. believes help will be found. Their hopes quickly end when they discover that Grand Central has been overrun with the undead.
J.D., bitten, knows he has limited time as he struggles to find a safe haven for his companions. In their search they stumble upon an enigmatic scientist who divulges a most ominous secret--a secret that forces J.D. to confront an adversary born from a lab deep below.
"A Page Turner... If you like zombie books... good zombie books... give The Romero Strain a go."
John F.D. Taff, horror author
"This is a ripping, rollicking zombie novel that does wonders for its genre, written by a zombie aficionado who could not provide anything less. Reads like an engaging movie script, with action and bold characters. It takes guts to write a novel in this market, where only the strongest works will survive. This is one of them. Like any good zombie story, it pays homage to the genre, but adds twists all its own."
Mark Matthews, horror author
