The long road ahead...

A harrowing shipwreck, a dark deadly virus, and an army of infected stand in the way of one man's mission to find the woman he loves. However, finding Becky will be no easy task, and as Mike soon learns, the threat of contagion has far-reaching consequences...

In a barren wasteland of the once-great epicenter of freedom, the US has become overrun with infection and left to crumble under the weight of death and disease. The afflicted roam the abandoned roads and countryside's in an altered state of consciousness, threatening those few who still remain healthy.

Mike's desperate search for Becky will take him through some of the most infected areas, and lead him into more danger than he ever thought possible. In order to find his wife, Mike will have to battle the legions of sick that plague these lands and save those he can before they fall victim to the disease.

In Dead Reckoning, the road to salvation is plagued with peril, and time is running out to save the one who matters most...

Interview with the Author


Q - So, what makes the Afflicted series so special?

A - It's really a blended mixture of things I've wanted to see in a science fiction / horror novel for some time. I love reading zombie books and wanted to write something with a different twist. I didn't want to do another you get bit and turn type of book. I wanted to add in the "What if's" to get the reader engaged and make them think of the disturbing possibilities.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - The Afflicted series can be read in any order, but I'd suggest the following sequence:

- Afflicted: Genesis (prequel)

- Afflicted: Patient Zero

- Afflicted: Rip Tide

- Afflicted: Dead Reckoning

Q - Why should readers give the Afflicted series a try?

A - Because the Afflicted series is a dark action conspiracy thriller from the start of the first page. Readers who like fast paced vengeful thrillers and lots of mystery will enjoy the books.

Thanks for reading!
