Synopsis

Britain is falling. The dead are rising. And no one is coming to help.

What began as isolated outbursts quickly escalates into full-blown national panic. When football matches are cancelled and EastEnders goes off air, people finally realise this isn't just another news cycle—this is the end.

In the quiet Welsh town of Usk, teenage brothers Matt and Danny lock down their family estate, thinking their isolation and wealth will keep them safe. But as the infected claw at their gates, help becomes a distant dream, and the real fight begins—not just against the dead, but to protect the living.

When a desperate family arrives seeking shelter, and survivors signal from across the river, the brothers must make a choice: remain behind the safety of their walls—or risk everything to save others.

Outbreak is a gripping, character-driven zombie apocalypse novel set in the UK, filled with tension, survival, and heart. Perfect for fans of 28 Days Later, World War Z, and The Girl with All the Gifts.

About this title

About the Author

Craig Jones is from Wales, the home of great rugby, great singing and many great writers and artists. Craig lives in Cardiff with his wife Claire, baby son Shane and a rather insane ginger cat called Wookie. He works for Public Health Wales and is the Wales lead on alcohol harm reduction. As much as he loves this job, his dream is to be a full time writer. Inspired by the late, great James Herbert, Stephen King and Bret Easton Ellis (Craig says Patrick Bateman is the best character ever created and it is even better that he was played by a Welshman in the movie) he has always been a huge horror fan. From Jason to Freddie, Ash to Rick Grimes, there is nothing scary that he won't watch, no one he won't try to scare with his stories. Craig writes for young adults because he believes the more they read, the more creative they will become."I grew up with a book in one hand and a tennis racket in the other. I think writers have a responsibility to pen stories to inspire youngsters to read by knowing what kids want."
