Control Theory: The Zombie Theories Book 5

severed_press_ — Sun, 22 Jun 2025 20:56:02 +0000

Plague. Infection. Death. Undeath. Control Theory puts our luckless hero several years into the zombie apocalypse and he’s still making the same dumb mistakes. Kidnapped because of his immunity to the worst disease in history, he is learning that being immune may not be the best thing, especially now that some of the infected are changing. But change is good right? Wrong. Better for the infected, but not for humanity.

Far from home, our hero must fight every step of the way to return to his family and friends, and he finds assistance in the most unlikely of places, from the strangest of companions.

You’ve picked up his journal, now tag along with him as he regales his trials and tribulations for you. Of course, if you’re reading this, he’s probably been eaten.

Immunity. It means a lot to those without it. Sanctuary does too…

Travelling across the country, an arrogant, rude, and ironically immune man’s group runs from a government hell bent on stealing his immunity. With millions dead and some of the infected getting smarter, it’s all- out war. When Alcatraz, one of the last bastions of civilization in the United States, comes under attack, some will emerge victorious, and some will emerge infected. Both sets of survivors of the worst plague in history must come together to fend off hordes of the undead and those not dead but no longer human.

RUN 3: LONG ROAD HOME

severed_press_ — Sun, 08 Apr 2018 09:41:58 +0000

The dead walk, and they are hungry. The undead have claimed the world with tooth and nail and now death stalks from behind every corner and from every doorway. Beset by the horrors of this new planet, living humans must now rely on their most formidable weapon: Courage. Having traversed a ravaged and infected United States in the slim hope of acquiring a vaccine, a dwindling group of mix-matched military and civilians finally achieved their goal. Safely secured in a hardened and well-stocked underground complex, rescued scientists may now continue to work on a vaccine for the most brutal plague in human history. Now the intrepid group of saviors must trek back across a continent to convey the truth of the vaccine and reunite with family and friends in San Francisco. The City by the Bay is not only infested with the living dead, but with what humanity has become when unchecked. As vicious and ruthless as the dead, warlords have sprung up to take what they want by force, and like the dead, they conscript or murder all in their path. The roving gangs of humans only pause in their savagery to hunt for one man with a priceless secret. A man who can walk with the dead. A man named Billy.

lague. Infection. Death. Civilization is gone, assaulted by the walking dead. Within these pages lies a man’s tale of unspeakable horror and humor told during the zombie apocalypse. One man stands immune to the greatest plague in human history. Our hero, should you choose to call him that, is now hunted by organizations that would use him for his immunity. Chased by relentless forces incapable of mercy or pity, our hero and his friends must fight off those that seek to destroy them. Government scientists seek him. The dead want to eat him. Humanity needs him. No longer is our hero a useless plebe, unable to tell the difference between a clip and a magazine. No longer is he a fool who continually makes mistakes. He is now an utter badass who continually makes mistakes. Join him as he chronicles his successes and failures in a world where success means finding an unopened can of Spam, and failure means death.

CONSPIRACY THEORY

Immunity. Everyone wants it. One man has it. Our hero, if you can call him that, must escape from the government facility he is incarcerated in. Escape the certifiable, alphabet-agency super-spook who seized him and dragged him across the country. Elude an army of doctors and soldiers who think he is the answer to the plague of the living dead. Flee back to his friends, a continent away. Can he safely traverse a ruined United States crawling with insatiable, infected cannibals? Should he stay in the impregnable fortress, do his duty, and submit to the testing in hopes he can save everyone? What’s an immune, arrogant, rude, criminal to do?

RUN 2

severed_press_ — Sat, 23 Jan 2016 13:36:26 +0000

Plague. Infection. Death. The world we knew is gone, replaced with something infinitely more deadly. Life, the paramount precious commodity is fleeting for Earth’s newest endangered species: Man. Whether death arises from the legions of ravenous undead which now roam the planet, or at the hands of villains unchecked, the result is the same. The finality of death has fled, however, and the Reaper no longer holds his sway. The greatest plague in history alters life itself into something that cannot be, killing the infected, but only briefly. Victims return as one of the undead to seek out that which they once were, infecting and consuming anything alive. But hope, however slim, exists. The promise of a possible vaccine is enough for a rag-tag band of military and civilians to traverse a continent ravaged by the plague. Countless obstacles stand in the way, and merciless enemies, both living and not, will do everything to deny this Crossing.

CHAOS THEORY

severed_press_ — Wed, 07 Oct 2015 10:23:36 +0000

The world has fallen to a relentless enemy beyond reason or mercy. With no remorse they rend the planet with tooth and nail. One man stands against the scourge of death that consumes all.
Rude. Arrogant. Criminal. This is the person who is to save humanity from the countless numbers of savage undead now roaming the earth. A savior who is immune. The government wants him. The dead want to eat him. His friends need him. Teamed with a genius survivalist and a teenage girl, he must flee the teeming dead, the evils of humans left unchecked, and those that would seek to use him. His best weapon to stave off the horrors of this new world? His wit.

RUN

severed_press_ — Wed, 27 May 2015 07:46:58 +0000

The dead have risen, and they are hungry. Slow and plodding, they are Legion. The undead hunt the living. Stop and they will catch you. Hide and they will find you. If you have a heartbeat you do the only thing you can: You run. Survivors escape to an island stronghold: A cop and his daughter, a computer nerd, a garbage man with a piece of rebar, and an escapee from a mental hospital with a life-saving secret. After reaching Alcatraz, the ever expanding group of survivors realize that the infected are not the only threat. Caught between the viciousness of the undead, and the heartlessness of the living, what choice is there? Run.
