THE PASSENGER

Ethan Rost was a hero-a firefighter, a husband, a father. The man who ran into the flames so others could live. But when cancer came for him, he took the miracle cure the world called Genesis, the patch for all human rot, the salvation sold in glossy ads and whispered boardrooms.

It cured the tumors. It rewrote his cells. It promised forever.
It never said who would live forever inside the rotting cage.

Now Ethan is a Remnant-mind trapped behind bone and teeth, forced to watch as the monster in his skin tears through the world he died trying to protect. He can taste every scream. Hear every heartbeat before his hands rip it away. And in the static between kills, he finds others, a chorus of broken minds still awake inside their walking corpses.

And far below the ruins, Connor Hale, the last scientist who warned them all, hides behind flickering screens and dying servers, fighting to crack the Genesis code before it devours the last hope for what makes us human. He knows the cure was a lie. He knows the monster is awake. And he knows some things should never be brought back from the grave.

This is not your regular zombie apocalypse.
No safe farmhouses. No cartoon headshots. No heroes with endless ammo and witty one-liners.
This is the apocalypse from the inside out, the last fragments of memory and mercy fighting inside the gnashing teeth.

THE PASSENGER is about what happens after the infection, after the flesh is gone, when the only thing left worth saving is your soul.

They don't die. They don't sleep.
And memory...is the only thing they can't kill.
