Description
For fans of World War Z, a chilling mystery, an ancient threat, and a race against time to save humanity—inspired by the true events of the Dyatlov Pass incident
Russia, 1959. Nine members of a Soviet mountaineering team on an ambitious expedition into the Ural Mountains are found dead, victims of massive and bizarre injuries. The Dyatlov Pass incident, as this grisly event came to be known, remains unexplained to this day.
Iraq, 2019. Ex-soldier-turned-mercenary Cameron Becker is escorting a Russian businessman named Luka Belikov through Baghdad. It seems like a routine job, until Belikov is abducted on Becker’s watch. After forming an uneasy alliance with WHO medic Lori Dalton, Becker sets out to uncover the truth behind the attack, and quickly realizes he’s caught in the middle of something far bigger and more dangerous. As bio-terrorists prepare to unleash a virus that causes humans to descend into ravenous madness, the pair are thrust into a desperate race against time to prevent a global plague that could wipe out human civilization.
Who is behind the attack? What do they want? And how can humanity hope to survive? Becker and Dalton’s answers may just lie deep within the icy wastes of the Ural Mountains …

Dark Harvest is concrete proof that zombies aren’t cliched if they’re done right. Will Jordan packs a marvelous punch with regards to storytelling and action sequences that work in tandem to create a riveting experience for thriller and non-thriller readers alike.
When a Russian businessman is abducted from the protection of ex-soldier-turned mercenary Cameron Becker in Iraq, Becker will stop at nothing to rescue his charge from unknown forces with a baleful agenda involving a mysterious biological agent that turns those infected into bloodthirsty zombies. With the future of the whole world at stake, Becker teams up with a WHO medic to put a face to the enigmatic antagonists and stop them from unleashing an apocalyptic plague.
Will Jordan’s fast-paced but fleshed out writing perfectly encapsulates the chaotic mood of the story as the twists and turns keep coming at a machine-gun pace, never faltering from the bullseye aim of keeping you on the edge of your seat. Cameron Becker easily becomes a likable and distinctive protagonist who you feel like you’ve known for much longer than the length of the narrative. This pays dividends when the story calls for readers to follow Becker through the gates of hell in harsh, fantastic, and unforgiving situations from shootouts in Iraq to close quarter combat in the snowy mountains of Russia. Ultimately, it’s the strong and emotionally resonant characters that help elevate the excellence of the story, augmenting the high-powered action along with the exciting uncovering of the mystery with intriguing breadcrumbs expertly set up at each chapter as readers get a horrifying glimpse at how the biological threat came to be, a plot unlike anything I expected.
Dark Harvest is a fresh breath of non-linear storytelling with idiosyncratic characters and shocking turn of events that will have you glued to the book for a one-sitting read through and through.
