It is April 20, 2003. California is overrun with zombies. Nobody knows how the infection started. Nobody knows why. With California gone, nobody knows if the rest of the world is still out there, or if everyone else has turned. In this ensemble psychological horror novel, four survivors come together to fend themselves from the restless undead. But after months of living in an uninhabited California, fear and isolation leaves scars in the sanity of every survivor. As a character study, Fear Of The Dead examines the personal stories of four people in a world where death is everywhere, and hope, however dire, may be all that keeps them alive.

The next twenty-four hours will be crucial to America's survival. A determined band of terrorists holds the key to bringing down the government by plunging the country into darkness, fear, and chaos — a nightmare born not in a distant enemy land… but rather in the heart of America itself. After a mission gone bad, Counter Terrorist Unit operative Jack Bauer is relegated to infiltrating a dangerous homegrown militia group — and stumbles upon information about an activated sleeper cell of Middle Eastern terrorists on American soil. But the roots of the insidious threat may go deeper than he suspects, firmly planted in the lies and treacheries of powerful government agencies. And without the trust and support of his CTU superiors, Jack may have to rely on the very fanatics he's sworn to destroy… or face an earth-shattering catastrophe at the end of the day.
