Jones’ character-driven series delivers a gripping, high-octane apocalyptic thriller that fuses authentic American subcultures, smart-ass banter, and medical science into a world readers can’t look away from. Set across familiar American landscapes, the saga ignites in Wilmington, North Carolina, where a terrifying wave of erratic behavior and explosive violence—linked to a synthetic “zombie” street drug—signals the collapse of everything we know.

  • From the storied streets of Historic Charleston, South Carolina
  • to the fortified grounds of Fort Jackson
  • and the sweeping expanse of the Great Plains
  • an entourage of military veterans, academics, and young civilians grow tighter than family as they fight to survive an unraveling nation.

Fear, tribalism, and a rapidly deteriorating moral compass shape every choice they make. With its boots-on-the-ground immediacy and a cast as varied as America itself, the series brings social issues and spiritual questions to the surface in bold, unexpected ways that keep readers turning pages late into the night.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. —Friedrich Nietzsche.

Each installment raises the stakes to a new breaking point: government sanctioned mass killings, ruthless militias, cult uprisings, coup attempts, and threats that evolve faster than humanity can adapt. Nuclear strikes eventually erupt into a brief but devastating World War III—yet even that isn’t the only force driving humanity toward an extinction level reckoning.

Inspired by real‑world headlines, the story reinvents the apocalyptic genre with cinematic action, dark humor, and unnervingly plausible horror. It’s more than a survival story—

it’s a pulse‑pounding exploration of what remains when society’s safety nets snap and ordinary people become the last line of defense.

Zombie by Kat-Jo Jones & Extinction Level Event by K.J. Jones are identical series (read why at the bottom of the page), but Zombie tends to be more updated, because it makes more money.
