Description
Mason wasn't prepared when the devastation began that afternoon. No one was. He now needed to get to his family before the infection did.
No one knew how or where the end of the world started.
The infection took hold quickly and destroyed everything in its path. Millions perished every hour. For those who survived the initial outbreak, finding a safe haven would prove to be a battle all its own.
Mason, along with his family and new found friends struggle to avoid the infected and find a way out of the city.
In this initial 76 page volume of The Dead Years you will be introduced to the main characters as they fight the ravenous creatures trying to devour them and each other.
Be sure to stay tuned as the journey continues in the upcoming Volumes of The Dead Years.

Excerpt
No one knew how or where it all began. There were only rumors at first, spreading from one city to another. The infection took hold quickly. Many that became victims of the first wave were caught off guard by the unusual behavior of those infected. Millions perished with each day that passed and the number of survivors continued to dwindle as they desperately searched for places free of this hell.
The devastation was almost immediate. Law enforcement fell, utilities powered down and civilization was shattered within the first few weeks. With no structure left in the world, the few remaining sought to band together to fight and survive in this new existence.
They had no other choice…

Review
By Nina
From the first word to the last, this book is intense, compelling, fast paced and captures your interest in every word. Never read a book that grabs you from the beginning and keeps you hooked till the end. Can't wait for the next book. Very well written and intriguing. A must read even if you don't think you like zombies, it's a Must! Bring on the next one, can't wait!

From the Author
My name is Jeff Olah, the creator and author of the post-apocalyptic thriller series The Dead Years.
For as long as I can remember, the shows and movies that have had the biggest influence on me were the ones in which I felt I knew the characters. I knew what they liked and what they didn't. These shows were heavily character driven and I couldn't get enough.
I hated when these shows would wrap for the season and would just about need to be sedated after the series finale. I nearly always wanted them to continue and felt the characters could do more.
My goal with The Dead Years is this...
To create exciting characters you care about, some of which you will grow to love and others you may despise.
I am going to throw these characters head first into impossible situations just to see how they react. I am going to put them through hell and back, because living in this new world isn't going to be easy.
