A novelization of the video game State of Decay. Marcus Campbell and Ed Jones have been best friends for nearly two decades now. They live their lives of boring office jobs, fast food, and video games in the big city, but once a year, every year, they completely isolate themselves deep in the woods for two weeks. Their goal: total relaxation. Fishing, camping, drinking. Nothing but the two of them and a lot of good times. Their choice location is Trumbull Valley, home to three small towns and a lot of beautiful countryside. As they're wrapping up the latest vacation, they run into a true anomaly: a man in ripped and bloodied clothing, apparently insane, who is intent on taking a bite out of them. Unfortunately, it seems that this man was no anomaly. Roughly ninety nine percent of all the residents in Trumbull Valley are equally insane and craving fresh human flesh. Now, with a handful of unstable and unlikely survivors, Marcus and Ed must do whatever it takes to stay alive within the valley, because it seems that the military has instituted a quarantine, and they won't be letting them out anytime soon...

The year is 2019. Just under a year ago, the end of the world began. Zombies. Flesh craving monsters hell-bent on destroying all human life. Gage and Cage Kinner are brothers living separate lifestyles during the outbreak. Gage is a Marine who fights day and night to keep his squad alive, and to protect the lives of those in Fort Welkson, a military stronghold. Cage is a drifter, almost gothic like. He lives in the shadows of a city that the military guards. Something from their childhood has driven them apart, but nothing is stronger than the love a brother has for his sibling. Facing a dark future with an even darker past, the two brothers dive into a horrifying fight for survival as something takes a drastic turn. BOOK 1 of The Kinner Chronicles
