A #1 Kindle Science Fiction Bestseller This is the first in a six book series. "Spell-binding! Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Call it techno-thriller, call it science fiction, call it just terrific story-telling." Terry Brooks, #1 NY Times Bestselling author of the Shannara series and Star Wars Phantom Menace What if the Shadow that destroyed Atlantis 10,000 years ago, comes back to threaten our present world? A war beyond time. An enemy beyond space. A thriller beyond your wildest dreams. Three areas on the Earth's surface defy explanation: the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil's Sea of Japan, and a small region of Cambodia. Inside these realms, planes have disappeared, ships have vanished, and, in Cambodia, an entire civilization has been lost leaving behind Angkor Wat. In 1945, Training Flight 19 disappears in the Bermuda Triangle. In 1963, the USS Thresher, a nuclear submarine, is lost under unusual circumstances, part of a secret government investigation into mysterious gates. Near the end of of the Vietnam War, Green Beret Eric Dane led a team of operatives deep into Cambodia and encountered a strange fog near the legendary city of Angkor Kol Ker. His entire team disappears, attacked by strange creatures out of the fog. Only Dane survives to return. Now a plane goes down. In the same area Dane lost his team. He's called back. To find out who is the darkness behind these gates to our planet. What does this Shadow force want? \ If you enjoyed LOST, you'll love this book and be amazed at the similarities in concept (although this book was published before Lost).

In one day, the world succumbed to a pestilence that decimated the living. In its place rose a new species: vicious, gruesome, wandering zombies with an insatiable hunger for the living. Still in her twenties, Cash has watched her friends die, only to walk again. An office worker with few survival skills, she joins up with Clutch, a grizzled Army veteran with PTSD. Together, they flee the city and struggle through the nine circles of hell, with nothing but Clutch's military experience and Cash's determination to live. As they fight to survive in the zombie inferno, they quickly discover that nowhere is safe from the undead...or the living. (100 Days in Deadland is a journey through the first poem in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, the classic tale on the horrors of hell... zombie apocalypse style!)

Was there any point in writing rules and regulations when the world was going to hell? So what was Philippa Nolan doing stuck in a sweltering tin hut in the middle of the desert creating a new set of Health and Safety Regs for use in the Zombie War? Would they ever be finished, let alone implemented, as what was left of the military tried to stop the zombie hordes overrunning yet more cities and towns, ripping the residents to pieces in their lust for blood? All across the US small pockets of humanity struggle to survive, fighting against the odds to keep going and find somewhere they could be safe. Did any of these last stragglers hold the key to victory against the undead the world so desperately needed or were government projects like the ‘Zombie War: Health and Safety Regs’ the last impotent defence of a dying civilisation?
