My Zombies are the typical George Romero type. Slow, and brainless but in my book they are a weapon to be used by the Culling Initiative.
Q: We are still early in your series. Where does this book fit in and where will it take us?
This is part 2 in the Zombie Theorem series. I have no end in sight yet. This installment introduces the powers that be and puts more discomfort and road blocks in my main character’s way.
