by R S Merritt

Available for 3 days. Available until 10/18/2026.

What was meant to heal the world destroyed it instead. A miracle drug promised to end addiction, depression, and homelessness. Governments rushed it into the hands of millions, convinced they had found the cure of the century. Then the screaming started. They called it The Tox Shot. Within days, civilization begins to collapse. The infected are fast, violent, and driven by an insatiable hunger. The virus spreads through bodily fluids. Cities fall. Families are torn apart. Trust becomes as valuable as food and ammunition. Recently discharged Navy sailor Joel Bierdman expected to return home and rebuild his life after a painful divorce. Instead, he finds himself trapped in a secluded mountain cabin as the outbreak explodes around him. Alone, snowed in, and surrounded by death, survival seems impossible until he meets Terry, a fearless survivor with deadly aim and a determination to keep fighting. Together they battle across a collapsing East Tennessee, searching for Joel's family while discovering a terrifying truth. The infected are changing. They are becoming smarter, more dangerous, and far deadlier than anyone ever imagined. As supplies disappear and society falls apart, desperate survivors prove to be just as deadly as the infected. Every decision matters. Every mistake costs lives. Every mile forward must be earned. The end began with a single shot. Survival begins with a choice. Perfect for fans of Slow Burn by Bobby Adair, They Come at Night by Nick Clausen, Adrian's Undead Diary by Chris Philbrook, and Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo, The Tox Shot delivers relentless action, unforgettable characters, military survival, dark humor, evolving infected, and nonstop suspense.
