Great Bitten

Warren is a work-obsessed journalist living in Central London. Quite happy to live out his monotone life, each day resembles the next until the fateful day he encounters an octogenarian zombie shambling down the middle of the road. Great Bitten: The First Clusterf*ck combines the first three books of the darkly humorous zombie series by UK author Dawn Peers.

You're walking down the street in the early hours of the morning, in one of the most densely populated cities in the world, when you see something that makes the rational side of your brain itch. It has mortal wounds and shouldn't be walking, but it is, and if you hang around for too long, it will be heading towards you. How would you react? You survive the initial throes of civil unrest and the collapse of law and order. The world has become your playground. What kind of person do you become?

A virulent virus of unknown origins has decimated the UK, turning the majority of the population into monsters hungry for human flesh. Through luck and a sheer bloodymindedness to make the right decisions for everyone, Warren has survived. Not everyone has been so lucky, however, and he is now desperate to reunite with his family and find somewhere safe for them all to exist. Warren enters the Community; a collection of organised survivors in a gated safe-haven.

The corruption of the Community has been exposed and now they finally think they can have some peace, its inhabitants are told they must leave in order to survive. Heading now for the safety promised them by the remnants of the military, Warren's experiences make him cynical about any place advertising itself as free from conflict. Still, with the support of the international community, and the eyes of the world upon them, the Safe Zone could prove to be all it claims.
