Description

update: I have paused the story due to lack of interest and interaction. I am shifting my focus to another story that is LitRPG. If you were interested in this story, please friend me on facebook (M.T. Veins) and let me know you want it to continue. I will eventually release the book, but will only continue serializing it if I get enough interest/feedback from it.

Divergent Dead

Dacen wasn’t expecting much from his day — just feed his brother Mark’s snake, maybe grab a coffee, and definitely avoid his adoptive dad’s weird attempts at life advice.

Then he finds out his brother’s already back from the Marines a day early.And he’s at the mall.Meeting the daughter he didn’t know he had.

Across the world, Kylee Monger — Mark’s ex-girlfriend, and a dangerously curious archaeologist — finally uncovers what she’s been chasing:Pandora’s Box.She opens it.And sets something free.

Now Legion walks the earth again, riding shotgun in Kylee’s body, armed with her memories and his own agenda. He doesn’t just raise the dead — hepossessesthem. But he wants a general. And Mark is exactly what he is looking for.

By the time Dacen gets there, the mall’s already sealed.Inside, chaos. People running, screaming — possessed bodies following orders.

Everyone’s trying to get out.Dacen’s the only idiot trying to break in.

And Legion?Legion doesn’t even realize the little brother showed up.

Which is fair.He was never supposed to matter.****************************************************************

    Looks like a very good start to a zombie apocalypse book. Keep it coming let's see if it's any good or not. If it sucks we'll tell you! Hahaha.....! I wonder how often you're going to actually put several chapters out. Characters are good overall. They just kind of seem like their missing something. Nice scenery though and way to set it up. Give me more and I'll make a better review.
