NOTICE:
Outbreak was my first novel, right now I am nearing the end of re-writing the last few chapters (about 80 pages), I have also re-edited the first twenty chapters and edited those that fell in between the begining and end. I will be reposting this novel in its entirety by the middle of December (yes, 2008!). My time lines sometimes slip; I like writing new stories more than editing old ones, however I am very close to having this work done. Once finished all that will remain will be posting it, which is a couple hours of work as I format everything with php/html. Say...anyone with a better solution than how I currently do it, please let me know. I can sling php at a high level and I am not afraid of scripting languages, databases or even learning something new if it will get the job done more efficiently. Right now I have a template that I drop the open office chapter into, then I add a series of paragraphs and any other formating I need. See why it takes a couple hours to do the whole book?
It was the start of another ordinary day at the office for Max, he was emailing a friend when one of his other early morning co-workers called for his help, someone was having a heart attack. Rushing to the aid of his fallen co-worker Max knew one thing, it wasn't a heart attack. Heart attack victims didn't bleed and didn't start chewing on anyone they could catch either. Once the victims died they came back to life with only one goal; to consume the living. Now Max was stuck in a rapidly deteriorating situation thirty miles from home, where his wife and two kids were sleeping away the warm mid summer morning. He had to get back to his family and get them to a safe place, if he could find one. Forming a group made up of his coworkers Steve and Tom and a police officer called 'Stewart' they make their way into the city to save the ones they love. The newly returned, however, were not all mindless shamblers and some of them had a plan...
