Book excerpt: A devastating plague has ravaged the Earth. It attacks the brain, plunging its victims into a violent animal-like state. Over two years, civil societies crumbled into chaos. Governments called up their militaries to keep order. Scientists have worked feverishly to find a cure. Plans were made, but then there was silence. In an event called the Blackout, all orders and communications with higher authorities ceased without warning. David Schoul was a soldier drafted into the Army and stationed in St. Louis. After the Blackout, Dave and his childhood friend, Jack McLane, are left with a choice. They can stay with their seemingly abandoned unit with dwindling supplies or desert their posts, returning to their families. They choose the latter, embarking on a perilous journey across the state. Their return, however, unfolded in tragedy. Jack forces Dave to help him break his brother out of prison, leading to unforeseen complications. Eventually, they return to their hometown only to discover it devastated and overrun with the deadly infected. Dave’s family is gone, and his beloved girlfriend Kim is missing. If things couldn’t get worse, Jack’s brother is now infected. Jack and Dave's friendship is then torn apart after Dave is forced to deal with the threat. Now alone and heartbroken, David must survive battling not only the relentless onslaught of savage infected but also murderous gangs of survivors. After six years, he has finally carved a life in this unforgiving new world. Dave is living comfortably in a cabin in the woods, but a chance encounter turns everything on its head. Kim has returned, seemingly from the dead. She is not alone. Jack and a gang he now leads, are with her, and they have an offer that Dave cannot refuse. Dave must navigate fragile alliances, survive terrifying encounters, and solve dark mysteries while on a journey across the post-apocalyptic American Heartland. Phoenix Fire is an original novel, written for readers who enjoy action, adventure, survival, and the age-old tales of heroes and monsters in a modern setting.
