People called them different things when they first appeared, Walkers, Cryptids, Infected, the Ridden. The most popular was also the least apt, Zombies. Chris stumbled out of his cheap motel room after the worst night of his life and straight into the apocalypse. It didn't take him long to learn what happened, even if it was somewhat unbelievable. Doubts that are quickly dispelled with reality. Heading to his parent's farm, Chris is determined to make sure they are safe. Joining up with an old girlfriend, the two set forth to gather supplies and turn the farm into a sanctuary of their own. Unfortunately, they're not the only ones with that idea. This is not your normal zombie apocalypse story. As Chris is about to find out, it's not just the monsters he needs to worry about. It's the humans he'll have to fight to survive.
If you are a fan of Larry Correia, Mark Tufo, Bobby Adair, Mike Evans, and Camille Picott, then get ready to enjoy this character-centric action packed take on zombies. If you enjoyed The Last of Us and World War Z, you will surely enjoy The Ridden.
The book has been lightly re-edited as of 08/2023.
