RESURRECTION (ARIZE #1)
It begins with a long-dormant virus released from an archaeological dig in Northern Alaska.
A researcher studying the virus suffers a fever and launches into a bloody killing spree that ends with two police officers dead. A second researcher, Dr. Meg Perriman, has just flown home for the Easter holiday with her family in North Carolina, unknowingly carrying the virus. Within days, the infection spreads across the planet, sparking martial law, chaos, and widespread slaughter as many of the infected turn into flesh-eating zombies.
Meg and a few others appear to be immune, however, and the survivors gather in a megachurch called Promiseland that the U.S. government has established as an emergency shelter. The Rev. Cameron Ingram, a charismatic televangelist the president has appointed as the “zombie czar,” believes the catastrophe is a sign of the Biblical apocalypse. When a rash of natural disasters accompany the outbreak and civilization breaks down, people turn to Ingram for salvation in the face of fear and despair.
But Meg and her group of friends soon discover Ingram is not what he appears, and they are caught between the devil and the living dead.

'Always surprises and always entertains.' (Jonathan Maberry, V-Wars)
With the mysterious and charismatic Rev. Cameron Ingram rising as a world leader in the wake of a zombie outbreak, a group of outcast survivors vows to bring him down.
Ingram has formed an oppressive new government and demands loyalty from all refugees who seek protection. Those who refuse to wear his mark are considered enemies and left to fend for themselves. Ingram uses the military to expand his influence while he gathers a corrupt inner circle at Promiseland, the megachurch complex that offers sanctuary in a ruined city. After proclaiming himself a messenger of God, Ingram drops all pretense and embraces his role as the Antichrist.
Dr. Meg Perriman and her allies plan to infiltrate Promiseland and expose him, but first they must traverse a hostile wasteland and evade Ingram’s deadly army. And they soon discover it’s not so easy to kill a king, especially one who's no longer human.

“If Evil had fortified secret strongholds across the globe, the red church was certainly one of them.” Award-winning author Scott Nicholson returns to the Blue Ridge Mountain legends and setting of his bestselling thrillers, The Red Church and Drummer Boy. When wealthy developer Larkin McFall moves to the small Appalachian Mountain community of Barkersville, generations-old tales of supernatural phenomena, sudden deaths, and odd disappearances resurface. Larkin laughs off the stories as superstition, while promising to bring a bright new future to the dying town. Sheriff Frank Littlefield senses a diabolical motive in McFall’s good intentions. High school friends Bobby Eldreth and Ronnie Day also suspect that an evil menace has invaded Barkersville, but both soon fall under McFall’s spell. Has the sinister presence that once infiltrated the abandoned — perhaps haunted — red church spread to the community as McFall turns the family property into a luxurious subdivision? When those who oppose Larkin McFall’s ambitions begin to die horrifically — or even worse, become the man’s biggest supporters — Sheriff Littlefield’s investigation uncovers a man with no past and no fingerprints. A man who destroys people by giving them exactly what they want.
When Roland Doyle wakes up in an unfamiliar motel room with a strange man's wallet in his pocket and a woman's dead body in the bathroom, he fears the worst...and that's before he finds the vial of pills labeled "take one every 4 hrs or else." Or else what? Ten years ago, Dr. Sebastian Briggs's clinical drug trial for a cutting-edge fear-response drug went horribly wrong - or did it? It's true that one trial participant died and five others were left with no memory of what happened to them. But now several interested parties, including a major pharmaceutical company and an ambitious U.S. senator, are willing to back Briggs's continued research. All he has to do is recall his five surviving "volunteers," whose addiction to a mysterious drug has left them largely at his disposal. They will do anything necessary to keep the pills coming and to stave off the creeping phobias, intense sexual impulses, and all-consuming madness that lurk on the edges of their minds. It's easy enough for the good doctor to lure the survivors back to the remote Monkey House, where the original trials took place. But when the pills finally run out...the real show begins.
