HOT ZONE: Book One in THE ZULU VIRUS CHRONICLES SOMETHING INSIDIOUS HAS ARRIVED—RIGHT IN THE HEARTLAND OF OUR NATION. Dr. Lauren Hale, a new hospital resident, is nearly killed by a raving mad emergency room patient, in a senseless, unprovoked attack. Officer David Olson, veteran cop and former Marine, returns from a father-son camping trip to discover that his ex-wife has vanished under bizarre circumstances, and his police department is on the verge of collapse. Jack and Emma Harper, a young, upwardly mobile couple, find their hip city neighborhood rapidly descending into madness. Dr. Eugene Chang, a research scientist for a major pharmaceutical company makes a shocking discovery that might explain the spreading wave of illness and violence gripping the city. Eric Larsen, leader of a top-secret, rapid-response unit, circles high above the Midwest, in an unmarked military transport. Mission still unknown, his team waits to parachute into the night. WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS, complete strangers from different walks of life will be forced to join together to survive the LIVING NIGHTMARE that has been unleashed on their city—AND THEIR COUNTRY. This is their story. WELCOME TO THE HOT ZONE!
"This series sweeps you up in a killer conspiracy you won't see coming..." "Told from a ground level perspective, the Zulu Virus Chronicles shatters all genre conventions." KILL BOX (The Zulu Virus Chronicles Book 2) A BLACK FLAGGED THRILLER SERIES SPIN-OFF A LETHAL BIOWEAPON HAS BEEN RELEASED ACROSS AMERICA. With their daring escape plan thwarted at the last possible moment, HOT ZONE's motley band of survivors faces a worst-case scenario. Forced to take refuge near the epicenter of the bioweapons outbreak, deep inside in a city gone mad, THEIR TIME IS RUNNING OUT. Unable to slow or adequately contain the infected population, the government has triggered KILL BOX, a desperate and merciless contingency protocol. HOT ZONE's survivors have less than twenty-four hours to escape the KILL BOX. A Black Flagged Series Spin Off? How is that possible and why haven’t I heard about this before? All good questions. The simple answer is that I had been waiting for the completion of the core Black Flagged series to draw any serious attention to the link between the books. Mostly because of spoilers (whoever appears here obviously survives the core series), but also because I enjoyed letting readers discover the links on their own. I’ve received hundreds of emails expressing the “pleasant surprise” of discovering familiar names and links to the Black Flagged books. Now that the core series is completed, it’s time to properly unveil the links. The Zulu Virus Chronicles is named after the “zulu” virus introduced (created by rogue scientist Dr. Anatoly Reznikov) in REDUX ( Black Flagged Book 2) . “ZVC” takes place roughly a decade and a half after the core Black Flagged series ends in 2009 (fictional book time). The Zulu Virus Chronicles are a frightening look at a mass-scale bioweapons attack against America, perpetrated by domestic terrorists, told from a number of very different perspectives. The good, the bad and those caught in the crossfire. For Black Flagged series fans, I have no doubt you will enjoy this spin off. Several Black Flag operatives show up in the series (2nd and 3rd book), having spent the past decade hunting down the last remnants of a terrorist organization they had previously spent most of their careers fighting. Unfortunately for them, and the rest of the United States, Dr. Reznikov’s research survived their best efforts to destroy it—once again falling into the wrong hands.

"I found it amazing and complex...the thrills and action keep on coming." FIRE STORM (The Zulu Virus Chronicles Book 3) A BLACK FLAGGED THRILLER SERIES SPIN-OFF SOMETHING MERCILESS WATCHES OVER THE OUTBREAK--GUIDING ITS COURSE. Having narrowly survived the KILL BOX, HOT ZONE's hardened survivors and their KILL BOX allies separate to pursue different objectives--outside of the Indianapolis quarantine zone. For David Olson, that means bringing his son south, to the safe haven of his parents' home--far away from the infected cities. Eric Larsen takes him up on the offer to rest and heal at the house, before departing on the long journey to find his family in Colorado. For Rich and his secretive black ops team, that means transporting Dr. Chang and Dr. Hale to a secure facility out east, where they will join the nation's few surviving bioweapons researchers--with the hopes of pinpointing the source of the virus and possibly developing a vaccine. Neither group will get very far , before the true face of the evil controlling the Zulu Virus arrives--tempting them with irresistible opportunities.
