Zombie Apocalypse! Washington Deceased

A novel set within the Zombie Apocalypse! mythos created by Stephen Jones for his bestselling trilogy, Washington DC is sent during the second half of Zombie Apocalypse! Fightback, when the zombies intelligence is increasing and they have formed themselves into a society, and an army. New York and Los Angeles have fallen to the walking dead and there has been no news out of Chicago, but Washington DC is still holding out and the South is still free. Time is running out, though, for the battalions defending Capitol Hill . . .

As the most powerful symbols of American democracy begin to fall, the President and her advisors must be protected at all costs. But what if there are people in her own government who are prepared to do a deal with the living-dead invaders to retain power at any cost?

Meanwhile, Zombie King Thomas Moreby is making his own plans to rule the United States as his control increases across the country. Moreby claims to have foreseen his victory, but there are emerging factions in his own ranks who are starting to question their role in the war between zombies and humans.

And how does the mysterious New World Pharmaceuticals fit into the New Zombie Order?

White House down . . . and dead Human Reanimation Virus (HRV) has spread around the world, and even America's Capitol Hill has fallen victim to the zombie plague as Thomas Moreby now sits in the Oval Office. For Secret Service agent Sandra Steele, the only answer is to restore the Presidency to its rightful heir and help lead the Human Resistance from a hidden underground complex built centuries earlier beneath Washington DC. But with enemies - both living and living dead - inside and out, who can she really trust? And with time running out, does the secret of creating a viable antiserum rest with the enigmatic New World Pharmaceuticals Group, or a young man who claims to be immune to the virus? Filled with political manoeuvring and bloody action sequences, this chilling novel of the zombie apocalypse sets the scene for the human fightback as we learn more about Thomas Moreby, his Well of Seven, and the diabolical plans he set in motion more than 200 years ago . . .
