BLURB:
Two worlds collide in
this action novelette. Zombies have destroyed civilization. Gasoline fuel is no
longer an option, but humanity must find a way to survive. In response to
trying to restore our way of life, we engineer franken-monsters. Because of
their small brains and massive sizes, these beasts make quick work of farming
and clearing land. These large creatures are immune to the zombie virus and
perform excellently in loud conditions. They are easy to train. They behave
like war horses, prone to help charge in and defend our livelihood.

Excerpt:
Blues often hunt for weaker and sick humans. Standing your
ground and appearing strong will scare off blues. In the beginning, we had
become so used to being the top of the food chain, that the thought of being
hunted was frightening. Most of the population ran, and that led to massive
feasts. Furthermore, our distaste for mandatory physicals meant pockets of
blues formed. Gun owners and others brazen enough to stand their ground often
kept their ground. Yet, as humans became replaced, the blue’s tactics became
more complex. Soon, only standing your ground with a gun was not enough. The
practice still works in isolated regions, but the best escape from a blue is to
retreat to a safe city.
New Eye City was formed for just that reason. Survivalists
knew how to build flash communities, which would then focus on walls. As many
of you know, gasoline fuel was no longer an option as the infrastructure
collapsed around humanity. Cars, trucks, and farming equipment gathered rust
from disuse. Humanity needed a new approach to surviving.
