Load your shotgun, sharpen your machete, and get ready for the first blood-splattered installment in the Mortuous 28 series by International Bestselling and Global Book Award-winning author Kevin W. K. Moore. This unrelenting, nightmarish odyssey is seething with gore, violence, vile human behaviour, and hordes of festering, undead monsters.

Ashes of Civilization is sure to satisfy your lust for gut-wrenching carnage and bloodcurdling despair.

Thaddeus Stormbreaker, a hardened Finnish-Canadian immigrant, is forced to decide his fate when a viral infection dubbed Mortuous 28 spreads, unchecked, across the globe, turning man and beast into insatiable undead predators.

When the infection crashes into North America, Canada’s leaders abandon their people to save themselves, leaving millions to survive the violence and self-protectionism that is spreading faster than the undead.

With his electric campervan, Thaddeus claws his way 1600 kilometres north toward his family’s secluded cabin in the woods. As people devolve faster than the infection can spread, he quickly learns that the living are far more dangerous than the undead. When isolation begins to chip and fracture his sanity, Thaddeus takes a dangerous gamble and picks up a lone hitchhiker. Together, they push through the endless bush, soaked in fear.

In the rotting hellscape south, what’s left of the skeletal U.S. government ignores whispers of a cure, choosing blood over hope instead. As ever-swelling hordes march across the eastern states, the U.S. government turns its guns inward, tightening control instead of offering protection.

As the U.S. government prepares for a sacrificial stand that demands catastrophic collateral damage, Marie-Soleil Surprenant, a fearless rogue journalist, risks everything to break through government censorship and expose the truth. When starvation finally outweighs terror, she forces her fear aside and ventures out from the false safety of her apartment—only to find self-preservation has stripped humans of their humanity.

The sixth great extinction is upon us. Time is running out. Can a cure be found? Or has humankind’s time on earth come to an end?

Proudly written and designed by humans! No AI has contributed to this work of fiction.

About the Author

Born in the 80s in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, I quickly ventured from the comforts of my hometown to travel the world. With a camera, a pen, and paper, I spent over fifteen years chasing stunning landscapes and drawing inspiration from the world's most vibrant cultures. As a seasoned backpacker and nature enthusiast, my writing ignited from the journals I filled while exploring hidden trails and bustling cities. With a passion for storytelling, I tried my hand at the written word and found profound success with my debut self-published novel, Dude, Where's My Walking Stick, an adventure memoir about my 1,300km hiking journey across New Zealand. The book was an instant success, winning a Global Book Award for Best Amateur Writer and breaking the top 1000 books on all of Amazon. I was featured in CBC News and Windsor Life Magazine, and I was interviewed on CKLW Radio to discuss the success of the novel. This paved the way for more written works, including the Mortuous 28 series. An unrelenting, nightmarish odyssey across an apocalyptic North American hellscape. Seething with gore, violence, vile human behaviour, and hordes of festering, undead monsters, the Mortuous 28 series is a fictional masterpiece inspired by my love for the horror genre and all things zombified.The years are catching up, but I am still an avid outdoorsman who loves to get lost in some of the world's most unforgiving landscapes. I recently completed a ten-day solo hike through Kluane National Park in Northern Canada. I am also an amateur nature photographer nominated for the Yukon Visual Arts award in 2024. My prints adorn walls all across the globe. However, my true passion is storytelling, whether it's over a pint in a bar or through the written word. At 40, I'm not slowing down. I currently live in Manzanillo, Mexico, with my girlfriend and our cat. After living in the far north of Canada for a year, there's some much-needed warmth down here, and soon enough, I'll be able to tell stories in another language.

Instructions for revocation

Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods

Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)

Instructions for revocation

Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,

on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;

To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.

You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.

In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.

Consequences of the revocation

If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.

We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.

You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.

You bear the direct costs for returning the products.

You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.

Criteria for exclusion or expiry

The revocation right is not available for contracts

for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
