SHAMBLERS
PROJECT: E.V.O.L.V.E., Book One

The world did not end with fire. It ended with a cure.

When a "miracle vaccine" spreads across the globe, families line up for salvation. Within days, salvation becomes horror. The PCH vaccine rewrites the human body, turning ordinary people into the infected: soulless predators driven by hunger and rage. Civilization collapses in weeks.

For Caleb Warren, a combat veteran already haunted by scars both visible and unseen, survival is not a choice. His wife Alyssa and their daughters, Raven and Jamie, are everything to him. Keeping them alive means pushing past the nightmares of his past and the horrors clawing at their doors. Every decision carries one brutal truth: hesitate and they all die.

In another town, Caleb's brother Nate faces the apocalypse with arrogance and denial, convinced he can control what is coming. The cost of his mistakes will be greater than he ever imagined. Families fracture, loyalties are tested, and love becomes both a weapon and a weakness when the dead refuse to stay dead.

As the infection spreads, survivors begin to realize the virus is evolving. The first wave created shamblers, slow husks with gnashing teeth. But something worse waits in the shadows: stronger, faster, and far more intelligent. Humanity is not just fighting to survive the present. A darker future is already taking shape.

Tense, visceral, and unapologetically human, SHAMBLERS is the first book in PROJECT: E.V.O.L.V.E., a relentless new series that blends raw family drama with brutal survival horror. Fans of The Last of Us, World War Z, and The Walking Dead will find a story that feels terrifyingly real.

The end is not coming. It has already begun.
