Read This Plague of Days, Season Two (The Zombie Apocalypse Serial) Online
Authors: Robert Chazz Chute
Lijon smiled. “We’re at minimum safe distance. The captain says we should get below, though. We have incoming on the radar behind us and a storm ahead of us. It won’t be long.”
Shiva smiled. “You go below with the others. Everything’s ready?”
Lijon nodded.
“Very well. Go, go. I’ll tell you all about it when it’s over.”
Shiva licked her lips as she watched her subordinate retreat below deck. How much longer could she hold herself back from draining Lijon of every drop of blood? How much longer could she tolerate Lijon’s traitorous thoughts? Her aura was rife with deception.
Shiva put on thick goggles and ear protectors and buckled herself into a chair in the stern to wait. On the horizon, she could still glimpse the highest towers of New York’s skyline.
How far did her attack force range? How many was her zombie army now?
The answer to the first question was unknowable. The answer to the second? In a moment, the Sutr-Z forces would be reduced to zero, she supposed.
Flash!
Her mind went blank. Shiva could see the bones beneath her skin as she raised her hands to shield her eyes from the onslaught. The United States military — whatever was left in mountain fortresses and deep bunkers — was quite dependable. They acted as she had predicted.
No matter. Shiva could always make more armies. And now?
Better
armies.
She braced herself for the roar. Massive waves were on the way, but it was the sky that captured her attention. The rising, roiling mushroom cloud was truly beautiful, a testament to the humans’ need to emulate their gods. They created and destroyed and barely counted the cost. The human race were her ancestors. Why should she be any wiser?
The zombies were dead. Long live the vampires.

EDICATION
A big thanks to all my readers and especially to the kind reviewers who take the time to read my books and help spread the happy word. I’m indebted to the editorial team at Ex Parte Press. Janice Kurita is a great editor. Suggestions from Mark Young, Brian Wright, and Johanna Goldenberg proved invaluable. My graphic designer and friend Kit Foster of KitFosterDesign.com served as my sounding board. Kit’s enthusiasm and support for my projects is always appreciated. Friend and survival expert John Badger of
IQ Traveller
renown helped plan the course for
Seasons 2

Special thanks to the beta teams who gave me early feedback on the advanced reading copies. A tip of the hat to Johnny, Sean and Dave at SPP for inspiring me to create
This Plague of Days
as a serial. More banana bread beer for horror author Armand Rosamilia for his support, advice and friendship.
To J, C & C, only we will ever know all the sacrifices made. Mighty love to each of you.
And last?
