This is the way the world ends: not with a whisper or a clamor, but with the dead breaking down the door.
Five groups of survivors, one destination: Center for Disease Control and Prevention in Boise, Idaho. These groups come from all corners of Oregon, and will face many challenges along the way.
In one group, an elderly lady breaks her leg as the group is on the run from a herd of zombies. In another, their camp is attacked by the undead, leaving any dead and a few wounded with bites or scratches. In a third, some of their own members turn against them.
Will they make it to the CDC? And if they do, what will they find when they get there?

The Z Contingency
The zombie apocalypse is coming. A scientist at the CDC has that terrifying realization when infected victims start displaying the symptoms predicted by his model. A virus responsible for hemorrhagic fevers is mutating into something that zombifies its victims instead of killing them. Realizing the only hope is to get ahead of it, he sets out to create a vaccine, but to create a vaccine he needs a sample of the virus. He tries to enlist the aid of a colleague to help him create the very virus he wants to eradicate, but she refuses on ethical grounds. Witnessing the horrific transformation of an infected patient forces her to reconsider, but before they can start working on a vaccine, their virus samples are stolen. As they criss-cross the country on a hunt for a cure, the paths of the two scientists cross those of a shadow organization on a secret mission, and a loose-knit network of zombie prepper groups whose loyalties are unclear. I am editing The Z Contingency for an updated edition, and I thought Wattpad would be a good platform to get improvements suggested by readers. The first edition of the book is already available for the Kindle, Nook, and Kobo at major online resellers, and is also at Smashwords.
