Life Goes On (Surviving the Evacuation)

Living under an assumed name in the Australian outback, Corrie Guinn thought she’d escaped her past. The outbreak changed everything, but it didn’t stop the cartel’s quest for revenge. The living dead can’t be stopped, but the cartel’s assassins can. Beginning the story of the survivors in the Pacific, Outback Outbreak is out now.

Night and day, a war is waged against an enemy that doesn’t tire or retreat, ask for quarter or offer it. But victory is in sight. The undead can be defeated. As long as the supply lines are maintained. As long as the ultimate sacrifice is selflessly made again and again. As long as the worst of the apocalypse is behind them. But though the apocalypse has begun, the reckoning is still to come.

Three weeks after the outbreak, most nations have collapsed. In Australia, every able body is conscripted, local and newcomer alike. The lucky few are put to work in the new factories, farms, and mines. The unlucky many are given tools for weapons, and returned to the ever-moving frontline. Even though the death toll rises, victory is still within reach, as long as the lights remain on.

As the much-depleted United Nations meets in Canberra, the scale of the global catastrophe becomes clear. With her misfit group of Special Forces and civilian conscripts, Tess Qwong heads to Mozambique. There, a New Zealand frigate will take her into the unknown dangers of the Atlantic. But while they hunt the radioactive seas for the war criminals, below the waves their enemy is hunting for them.

A month after the nuclear war ended, Commissioner Qwong and her crew of scientists and soldiers head north searching Mexico for a community trading safety for oil. As they hunt for other survivors, they discover one last chance to save humanity, a desperate gamble which will take them to where the outbreak began, and then beyond.
