Not all who are bitten are turned.
After World War III, better known as the Nuclear War,
survivors were forced to move underground, where they had a better
chance of survival. Those who were caught above ground in the
aftermath inevitably died of exposure. However, the animals and
vegetation were not so lucky. Although most species survived, they
also mutated. And sometimes those mutations reached the remaining
human population.
Shaddoe March lives in one of those subterranean bunkers, called SubForty. Her life is nowhere idyllic. No one’s is. But she’s healthy, and that means she has a future. Until, one day, her nightmare becomes reality, and she’s infected.
Shaddoe March lives in one of those subterranean bunkers, called SubForty. Her life is nowhere idyllic. No one’s is. But she’s healthy, and that means she has a future. Until, one day, her nightmare becomes reality, and she’s infected.
She is thrown out of the bunker, above
ground, unarmed and alone to face the hideous creatures and other
Condemned who’ve been discarded to face their inevitable deaths. As
she prepares herself for the worst, she finds redemption.
Chyler Comstock was also infected, but
he didn’t turn, and he’s not dead. Yet.
Neither are the thirty-two other souls who’ve banded
together for the sake of survival. When he meets Shaddoe, he’s more
than willing to let her join their group, but not until the critical
thirty-seven-hour window is passed. If she remains human after that,
then she’ll be welcomed.
But, for now, it’s a waiting game, and
the world ran out of patience decades ago.
Bring It Back(list):
The story: Empathic priestess Carialle has escaped the evil Amarotu Combine, but she’s hardly out of danger. Not when she risks everything to rescue a drugged man from a crooked veterans’ clinic. By lulling the clinic staff to sleep, she reveals her powers. And once again, criminals are after her and her rescuer.
Marcus Valerian, a wounded Special Forces veteran, never expected to have his life threatened by the clinic that’s supposed to help ex-soldiers like him. But when he wakes from a drugged state to find a lovely woman urging him to run–he does. In his family’s remote fishing cabin, he suffers the agony of withdrawal, soothed only by her powers.
In their idyllic hideaway, the two also discover a nova-hot attraction flaring. But can they stay alive long enough for it to become more? Not if the Combine has anything to say–they are not giving up until Marcus is dead and Carialle is their weapon
