The Roaming
by W. J. Hegarty
The United States Eastern Seaboard has Fallen...
A plague of unknown origin has returned the dead to life. These undead attackers—carriers of a lethal virus that turns anyone who is bitten into one of their own—possess a singular purpose. Destroy the world of the living.
In the earliest days of the outbreak major metropolitan areas were the first to fall. Miller, a Captain in the United States Army was part of a top-secret mission to help quell an indeterminate threat rising on the eastern seaboard.
Their mission was a failure. Philadelphia was overrun with a legion of reanimated corpses. The city was a complete loss.
Miller’s unit was left roaming, battered, and broken. They fled east hoping to join up with the remnants of other units massing near DC. The undead population of Philadelphia followed.
Their journey was interrupted when they stumbled upon a small out-of-the-way town called Pepperbush…
The Roaming is Book one in an ongoing tale of survival set against the backdrop of a world descending into madness in the wake of an apocalyptic undead crisis.
Love and death, cruelty and kindness. How far will society fall when the old rules no longer apply? Mankind’s penchant for brutality is juxtaposed against those not willing to give up on the goodness inherent in all of us; even in the face of imminent extinction. The Roaming chronicles the journey of a disparate band of survivors as they travel a country on the brink of a descent into ruin.
“Tense, chilling and masterfully written with a thoughtful and engaging plot,”
