Description
An ancient evil, trapped in the ruins of a lost Mayan temple for
centuries, has been unleashed. It takes the form of a deadly virus, one
that causes violent insanity in the living and the recently departed to
rise and walk. It spreads around the globe, throwing the world into
chaos and war.
As it progresses, those in the States who find
themselves far away from the epicenter watch it unfold with unbelieving
eyes. From Washington D.C. to Dover, New Hampshire, regular people are
hurled into an existence outside their control, left to deal with
catastrophic situations that they find themselves unprepared to handle.
Life becomes a nightmare, and that nightmare is spreading.
First
time author Robert J. Duperre presents this scenario with The Fall: The Rift Book I, the first
of a four-part series. In this book, he throws his characters into a
gambit; when the alternatives are life or death, self-preservation or
the protection of others, what path will they choose? Is there a
darkness that resides in everyone, from every walk of life, that is
screaming for release? When society falls apart and we are left to our
own devices, will we make the right decisions, or let the tide take us
where it may? There is horror, there is death, there are the walking
dead, and all around are choices.
The novel is fully illustrated
by Jesse David Young, whose drawings capture the intense feel of the
events happening within. There are twenty illustrations in all, as well
as the cover art he provided. These add to the reading experience and
help to throw you, the reader, head-first into the world they have
created.
