Before the concept of a zombie park was conceived, there was Creation of the Living Dead.
Ted Hollman, the son of Professor Nicholas and Kathy Hollman, has a plan more ingenuous than his parents. Instead of creating a legion of zombies and zombiefied animals for a small zombie park, he wants to build a massive zombie theme park on a remote island. He believes he cracked the formula for making the perfect smart zombie soldiers which his parents failed to achieve. He leaves the United States for an island that his backers purchased where he can continue his parent’s research. The mystery of where the bodies came from that were made into zombies for the zombie park will be revealed.
The bridge between the novels Zombie Park and Zombie World has arrived.

How was the park overrun? Who let the zombies out of their enclosures? Will the military drop a nuclear bomb on Valparaiso, Indiana in order to keep the zombie plague from spreading any further and is there any way to survive once you're trapped in the middle of the starving corpses?
Can they be stopped?

In the not-too-distant future, a terrifying plague has taken hold and caused the unthinkable to happen; a zombie plague is threatening to overwhelm the United States.
As the gathering horde of the undead begin to spread out of Indiana and toward Illinois and Missouri, desperate survivors search for anywhere that is safe from the zombie threat.
Donnie Jorsen, responsible for releasing the zombies from their containment, is desperate to leave the United States. Working with a small band of people he rescued on his way to Missouri, they search building after building looking for supplies to take with them to a place that can offer sanctuary.
With an almost fully packed plane, he is ready to leave the forsaken country behind, until General Milkwood, the man tasked with finding him, shows up and the game changes.
Meanwhile, another group of survivors seek shelter in Safe Zone Nine. But is this government facility really the sanctuary that many have been promised, or is the government using it for their own agenda, carrying out frightening experiments on those seeking refuge behind its secure walls?
As the number of zombies continues to grow, the question on everyone’s lips is can they be stopped? Or is the United States doomed?
The Z-Day series continues.

TAKE THE BOOK JURASSIC PARK - REMOVE THE DINOSAURS - REPLACE THEM WITH ZOMBIES
Ben Cutler just wants an honest way to make a lot of money! Unemployed and on the short end of the employment stick, he knows his chances of getting a traditional job is slim to never. Ever resourceful and always a forward thinker, Ben comes up with a brilliant idea—Zombie Park! Create a park with zombies, sell tickets and people will come by the hundreds. To his surprise, one of the richest men in the world backs his project and makes Ben an instant millionaire!
Scientists Nicholas and Kathy Hollman have been commissioned by General Wilbur Poe to create “smart zombies” to be used on the battlefield instead of live soldiers. With glory in his eyes, Nicholas is determined to not only create the formula, but cut his wife out of the equation and take all the credit himself. Unfortunately for Nicholas, Kathy is the brain behind everything they do.
Robert Forenstein has found the perfect cover for the smart zombie project in Ben Cutler’s Zombie Park. He and General Poe will make America the first country to use zombies as weapons of mass destruction and make billions in the process! As with all plans, everyone has their own agenda and the Zombie Park project is no different. The plan rapidly unravels as Nicholas botches the experiments and is inadvertently creating an army of out of control zombies. With a trail of bodies in their wake, neither the Hollmans nor Forenstein realize the true motives behind General Poe’s zombie army…and it ain’t to save the world!
Zombie Park is phenomenal! I don't even like most zombie books because they don't make a lot of sense, but this one held grabbed my attention and wouldn't let go until the very end! I hope you have part two ready because readers are going to beat down your door to get the next installment! This book is crying for a movie adaptation!
The Last Stand
Mar 9, 2017
$2.99
When an accident leads to a new and deadly virus leaking from a biological weapons facility, it doesn’t take long for the virulent strain to spread and start taking effect on those it encounters.
The first effects are flu-like and seem innocuous enough, but this quickly evaporates, leaving the infected with feelings of murderous rage before they are finally overwhelmed and transformed into blood-crazed and mindless zombies.
With mankind on the brink of total annihilation a new hope arrives. Derrial is a servant of God, sent by Him to Earth to form an army from the surviving Christians, in the hope that they can stem the tide of death.
But for every servant of good there is also a servant of evil and this comes in the form of Landus, the devil himself, disguised as a biker gang leader.
Landus sets about recruiting the surviving sinners to his malevolent cause, and with them and a gathering horde of zombies at his command it looks like the end for civilization.
But as they descend on what’s left of Chicago, Derrial gathers his remaining followers for one last stand between good and evil. Will humanity survive, or is it already too late?
