This Plague of Days, Episode 2
This is the second episode in the Zombie Apocalypse Series.
An autistic boy + elements of The Stand + 28 Days Later = A haunting protagonist versus the Running Dead.
As the Sutr-X virus cripples the world with a flu pandemic, a new variant, Sutr-Z is unleashed. It's not an accident. The contagion turns the infected into raging cannibals. London is ground zero for the coming zombie plague.
Meanwhile, in the heartland of America, a strange autistic boy and his family face disease, deprivation, looters and lawlessness in a country that's steadily falling apart. As civilization comes apart and spirals down, young Jaimie Spencer's hidden abilities emerge. Mute and obsessed with Latin phrases and English dictionaries, the boy's talents develop so he becomes a dystopian hero like you've never seen.
The first lesson of This Plague of Days? In times like these, don't just worry about the infected predators banging on your door. The uninfected can be just as dangerous, especially if you trust them.
As the serial develops, two bands of survivors (one from America, another from Britain) come together to fight the virus, a common enemy and extinction. The world as we know it is coming to an end. They'll fight for our future. They won't just fight zombies.
Our fate lies with the unlikeliest of heroes.

About the author
Robert Chazz Chute
65 books95 followersAfter escaping retail hell, I trained as a journalist and worked in newspapers and magazines before becoming a drone in the book publishing hive. I worked for Harlequin, The Canadian Book Information Centre, Lester & Orpen Dennys and Cannon Books in various capacities in editorial, publicity and sales. I learned a lot about what not to do. (All of the above companies are dead and gone except, of course, for Harlequin. I didn't kill them. It was suicide.)
I went over the wall again and worked a few miracles in the field of alternative medicine. Then "they sentenced me to 20 years of boredom, for trying to change the system from within." (Identify that quote and we are inextricably, irrevocably friends.)
Writing full-time now, I tell everyone I'm "in Suspense." I hope you read, review and enjoy my books.

After reading the first episode of This Plague of Days, I must admit, I was nervous that the second episode wouldn't pack the same punch. I was wrong. Though this installment includes a little more character development, which tended to slow the pacing down just a bit, I still read it in one sitting.
As I mentioned in my review of episode one, Jaime is a fascinating character. In episode two, we see a little more of his Aspergers/Autistic Spectrum. He doesn't speak, yet he's constantly breaking down words and definitions in his head. Honestly, he's an infuriating character to withstand during such a terrifying predicament--which is why he's awesome. You find yourself screaming at the page for him to speak up, to warn others to what he sees.
And that's when you realize just how invested in the characters you are. Brilliant.
