Prior to entering his senior year in college, Michael convinces his closest friends to join him on one last, big adventure together. Legend claimed the pirate Roche Braziliano buried a chest filled with gold somewhere within the Amazon Rainforest. After hiring one of his father’s old South American guides to lead the expedition, Michael Albright and his friends embark on an epic journey into the wild. Treacherous terrain and heavy rain impede their progress, and it isn’t long before the dangers of the Amazon come to life. Bone crushing anacondas, deadly spiders, and primitive natives pose a serious threat. However, nothing can prepare the amateur archaeologists for the nightmare that began the moment they set out on the Xingu River. The dream of discovering gold evaporates when they are faced with the reality they might never escape the jungle alive.

It started with the flu in VACCINATION and became a full blown zombie apocalypse in EVACUATION. Find out how the nightmare concludes in PRESERVATION. Former 911 Dispatcher, Chase McKinney, learned that those inoculated with flu shots became zombies; that the US government and military were largely infected, rendering them useless in the crisis; and that he and his family are forced to continue along on a dangerous journey. Crossing into Mexico might provide the only sanctuary from the millions of zombies plaguing America. The question is, could they make it safely from New York to the border …

VACCINATION

What if the H7N9 vaccination wasn’t just a preventative measure against swine flu? It seemed like the flu came out of nowhere and yet, in no time at all the government manufactured a vaccination. Were lab workers diligent, or could the virus itself have been man-made? Chase McKinney works as a dispatcher at 9-1-1. Taking emergency calls, it becomes immediately obvious that the entire city is infected with the walking dead. His first goal is to reach and save his two children. Could the walls built by the U.S.A. to keep out illegal aliens, and the fact the Mexican government could not afford to vaccinate their citizens against the flu, make the southern border the only plausible destination for safety?
