The apocalypse had come and gone, and even though there were still plenty of walkers stumbling around Montanaor what Billy called GOB (Good Ol Boy) landthe worst thing on two legs was the survivors. At least with the dead you knew where you stoodas a potential meal! Billy was a young black man who worked for Zombie Express, the main trucking company that ran supply routes between the remaining towns and strongholds spread across the Big Sky state. He was originally from the harsh environs of L.A., and he now had to show the ropes to Ted, the erudite Old White Dude the company had saddled him with. He knew nothing about the elderly grandpa, other than Zombie Express had hired him at the last minute to ride shotgun in his truck. Everyones story of their Z Day . . . or week . . . or month, was different of course, but damn, didnt the old dude ever shut up? And just minutes into their first run the old man was already napping! He was going to get Billy killed . . . or worse! And Billy did not want to end up a dead head!
A Word from the Author
I decided to tackle a zombie novel after watching several seasons of The Walking Dead. Someone finally got the genre right! I’ve seen plenty of bad zombie movies, and made sure not to read any Z novels beforehand since I didn’t want to be influenced one way or the other. Because virtually every zombie tale begins with “patient one,” and shows the chaos and horrors as the virus spreads, I began Zombie Highway a handful of years after. The apocalypse has happened, life–of sorts–has gone on, and people are surviving. It focuses on two main characters who, in other circumstances, would never associate with each other, but now they must depend on each other to survive. They work for Zombie Express, a trucking company that runs supplies between far-flung strongholds and settlements. Their biggest concern, besides each other, is creatures of the two-legged sort . . . both dead and alive.
