Jeremy Robinson's first pulse-pounding horror novel (originally penned under his Jeremy Bishop pseudonym) is a horrific tale of post-apocalyptic terror that is one part zombie story and one part Dante's Inferno. The story asks hard questions and generates strong emotions in everyone who reads it—anger, excitement, and most of all: FEAR. This book asks the question that everyone is afraid to answer: Are you ready?STORY DESCRIPTION: Small town reporter, Mia Durante, finds herself having brunch with the President of the United States on the day civilization comes to an end.
