THE RISING DEAD: survival is the new nightmare

free to read on amazon !

THE RISING DEAD When the dead rise, they don't just hunger for flesh—they learn. Sarah Chen was an ER nurse. She survived the collapse of Portland General Hospital by making impossible choices. Now, leading a small group of survivors across an apocalyptic wasteland, she fights not just the infected, but her own guilt and the weight of command. The infected are evolving. They don't shuffle mindlessly—they scout, they plan, they communicate through pheromones and signals no one fully understands. Each corpse that stands again is part of something larger: a distributed hive intelligence learning to hunt with military precision. But the undead aren't the only threat. New Haven, the fortified settlement that promised hope, harbors its own dangers. As military and scientific factions clash over control, and Sarah's unconventional leadership style challenges the rigid hierarchy, she discovers that surviving the infected may be easier than surviving humanity. In a world where every choice has deadly consequences, Sarah must navigate coordinated attacks by a hive mind, internal faction warfare, and the terrifying possibility that civilization's collapse might reveal something darker than the dead: what we become when rules no longer apply. THE RISING DEAD is a character-driven apocalyptic thriller exploring survival, leadership, and the blurred line between saving humanity and becoming its enemy.
