A contract enforcer for a drug kingpin steals a car, brutally murders a young couple in their home, and begins an epidemic that will eventually turn half the world into flesh eating zombies. And he's the hero!

Tapper wasn't always soulless. In fact, he was a decorated patriot of high character and honor. But this story isn't about any of that. It's about the man he was after the operation. The man the doctors said had lost his soul.

A lost soul with such training and expertise should have been guided, not abandoned. But he's not bitter. In fact, he's loving life. It's simple with no moral values to weigh you down.

He made one little mistake though. The couple he killed wasn't on his hit list. Now, his employer has decided he should "retire".

Offended by the boss' human resources representative, and the attempt on his life, Tapper decides to take the advice of his associate, Cootie, and use his employers money to fulfill his retirement dreams. Those simple plans are made more difficult with the whole zombie apocalypse problem.

With a nagging rash on his hands, and the world quickly changing into a place where everyone you meet may be a flesh eating semi-dead, Tapper realizes it may well have all started with his little mistake.

More importantly, Tapper himself is changing, and he's not a damn bit sure he likes that.

This is his story, in his words.

Tapper's sense of humor may be as contagious as the zombieism he started, if you can see in the dark.

This premiere novel starts a new journey for Tapper, and may provide him a road to redemption.
