Description
Sarah is a nurse at the Geelong hospital, going about her Boxing Day shift while her family recovers at home after indulging in the usual Christmas feasting. But when a wild-eyed patient is admitted that afternoon, she soon discovers a new virus taking root in the area.
Not wasting any time, Sarah and her family have to bug out before they too are taken out by the infected hordes amassing in the town. The virus is spreading rapidly and beers will have to be set aside in favour of running for their lives.
The South Forsaken is one family’s story in this zombie apocalyptic tale with an Aussie twist!
Advance Praise
"As a zombie movie watcher and book reader, I was pleasantly surprised (for the first time) to see one character with a Bug Out Bag, a near essential item for any disastrous event. Rachel Drummond included many ideas we often overlook, like sneaking vs. straight out combat, the use of fences and rooftops, and even a reason as to why the infection happened in the first place, to name a few. This book left you wondering if the next book would pick up where she left off, or would she start with a new family in the same plague-ridden world. Either way, it's definitely a book I would keep with all my other survival/entertainment books." - MonsterJohn, via Amazon
"From the moment I started reading this book, I have found it hard to put down! I found it easy to relate to the characters and had the whole thing coming to life as I read along, and at times on the edge of my seat! ! Love the fact the story is based in Geelong! Also the author would definitely be the one to hunt down and stick by in the case of a zombie apocalypse, as she seems to know her stuff!! :) Hopefully there will be another book released by this talented author! Do yourself a favor and get yourself a copy of The South Forsaken!!" - Tameka Miller, via Amazon

I honestly dont know why it too me so long to read this book since its less than 200 pages and absolutely brilliant. Its action packed from the very first go. All the characters are believable. And theres no dancing around the fact that there are zombies and people have seen movies so know how to act. I cant wait to read the next one.
