Zombie D.O.A. (63 page)

Joe Thursday was right. I had done something extraordinary. And I say that not with conceit, but rather with a sense wonder that I’d made it, that I’d survived, that I’d found my little girl, that I’d played some small part in saving her.

These thoughts carried me into sleep and I was awakened by a large and rather affectionate Akita licking my face.

I settled down to a life in Flagstaff with Kelly, and when Kel could no longer handle living close to her mother we moved to the community at Lancaster, California. We were married a few weeks after Kelly’s twentieth birthday, and our twin boys, who we named Joe and Charlie, arrived nine months later. A couple of years later our daughter, Samantha, usually called Sam, was born.

Giuseppe too, settled down to the quiet life. He became less inclined to wander and took a fancy to a lady Akita down the block and fathered a number of litters. We adopted one of his sons, the spitting image of his old man, and named him Luigi. In his later years, G took to resting out the heat of the day under a white alder tree and we buried him there after he passed.

As the years went by, I saw less and less of Joe Thursday. Joe of course, had his hands full running the Corporation. I’d always figured Joe for a bit of a free spirit, but he did a pretty decent job organizing the corporation forces, setting up protected communities like the one at Lancaster where we lived, and dealing with the growing Z problem.

Ruby stayed with me of course, in my dreams, in my thoughts, and in the thin memories I had of our time together. I never imagined I'd see ever her again but I did, many years later.

That, however, is a story for another time.

You’ve read the series, now read the sequel…

New York holds painful memories for Chris Collins and he never intended going back there. But when his daughter is captured and is due to be thrown to the Zs in a sadistic TV extravaganza, Chris has to take action.
Now he's going back to Dead City to challenge his old nemesis Bronson Chavez, the one-time street thug who is now mayor of New York, and runs it like his private fiefdom. Only one of them will survive and Chris has the odds seriously stacked against him.
The sequel to the best-selling Zombie D.O.A. series is a twisted tale with more zombie action than you can shake a stick at. It will keep you glued to your Kindle late into the night.
