When something falls from the sky, nobody expects it to end the world.
Jack Carter is a Los Angeles park ranger and a devoted single father. He spends his days tranquilizing wild cougars and keeping the Griffith Park hills safe. But when his brother—a decorated Navy officer—arrives unexpectedly on leave, Jack realizes something is very wrong.
Lieutenant Commander Joe Carter and his friend have seen something they shouldn't have on a military base. An unidentified object crashed to Earth, and touching it may have infected them with something alien...and deadly.
As Joe’s mind unravels, he grows violent, animalistic—no longer the man Jack once knew. Worse, Jack’s daughter Anna is now in danger in her own home.
Across the globe, reports of similar incidents are surfacing. A top-secret government task force scrambles to contain the spread while struggling to understand it. But time is running out.
What started as a hush-hush military lockdown is about to become a full-blown outbreak. The infection is spreading—and no one knows how to stop it.
Fans of The Walking Dead and World War Z will devour Zombie Patrol, the pulse-pounding first entry in The Walking Plague Trilogy.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING:
★★★★★ “Exciting start to an excellent new series! Wow, I loved every second of this book and cannot wait for more! I pre-ordered Zombie Patrol a day or two ago and couldn’t stop reading it today. J.R. Rain is one of my favorite authors and I quickly snatch up anything he puts out. I know that when I’m getting one of his books that it’s going to be a fun and exciting story. His characters are every bit as real. They’re heroic, yet flawed, caring, yet make mistakes. The plot flows almost effortlessly and it’s easy to get caught up in Jake’s life while he tries to figure out how to help his family and keep his daughter safe. I really cared about the characters and found myself at the edge of my seat with worry in more than one spot in the story. I can honestly say I haven’t been this excited about a new series in a long time. I truly cannot wait for the next one. I need to know what’s going to happen next!” —Amazon review
★★★★★ “Another great book! I am not a zombie fan, but since I love reading J.R. Rain books, I decided to give it a try. I am glad that I did. Jack is a Forest Ranger. His daughter is Anna, who he is raising as a single dad. His brother Joey is a Navy Officer. When his brother shows up with a buddy of his sick with something like the flu, things go from bad to worse. Zombies! Can’t wait until book two!” —Amazon review
