Praise for State of Decay

Knapps intense debut is a high-adrenaline thriller that takes the familiar zombie story down a radically new path.... [His] writing is sharp, and his fast and furious plot twists keep the pages turning.... Fans of zombie fiction and readers looking for a good thrill will find it here.

Publishers Weekly

Will appeal to readers who like Jonathan Maberrys zombie thriller, Patient Zero , and fans of gritty SF author Richard K. Morgan ( Altered Carbon ) will enjoy it as well. Highly recommended.

Library Journal

There are many strong points to Knapps story, the best being his reimagining of the zombie tale.... This is a very unique and excellently plotted debut.

Sacramento Book Review

An intriguing futuristic Americana thriller.... The story line is action-packed with the zombie concept fresh.... Fans will appreciate this entertaining look at the future.

Midwest Book Review

The dialog is strong and believable.... The plot hums along, moving briskly but repeatedly dodging the obvious next twist. And the conceit Knapp is playing with here is a fascinating one, and bigger than one book can hold. Hopefully the next one in the series will be up soon, because I want to know what happens next.

The Green Man Review

A good blend of urban fantasy and sci-fi mixed. Its a very original idea with the concept of zombies that keeps you on the edge of your seat.... Im looking forward to more!

Night Owl Romance

This impressive debut incorporates futuristic technology, fantasy, zombielike creatures, mystery, danger, and intrigue. Its a dark and gritty, complex story, full of intense excitement and suspense. With the creepy feeling of zombie horror, this fantastic mystery thriller will satisfy any genre fan.

SciFiChick.com

An awesome science fiction ride.... Knapp manages to keep the tension high throughout the story.... The plot has twists you wont see coming, with an ending to match. I cant wait to see what happens next.

Sci-Fi Fan Letter

State of Decay takes all the familiar tropes of zombie fiction and gives them a real world spin that is both convincing and plausible.... Knapps writing style is really interesting. He manages to pull you into the story very easily and manages to convey a lot of ideas very quickly.... Thumbs up.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I would like to acknowledge the following people:

Kim, who puts up with the many, many hours I spend writing.

Jessica, who puts up with my endless (occasionally last-minute) adjustments, and who helped make this book, and this series, the best it could be.

Jack, who is far more savvy than I, and who tells it like it is.

And my parents, who are both rocksnot everyone can say that.

This series wouldnt have been possible without all of their help.

Resurrection

Nico WachalowskiRestaurant District

It was warm inside the noodle house, and the window to my left was fogged at the corners. The place was crowded, full of bodies and the blanket of conversation that bled through the noise screen at my table. It looked, as far as I could remember, the same as it had five years ago. The only difference was that this time I was alone.

The last clouds of steam drifted up from the bowl of ramen that sat untouched in front of me as I looked out onto the street. It was dark, and the snow had piled up. Streams of people wrapped in coats and scarves moved down the narrow sidewalk between the restaurant and a snowbank that had reached waist height. At the intersection vehicles idled, big flakes beginning to accumulate on their hoods and roofs, while a crowd trudged down the crosswalk. To see it then, it was hard to believe any of it had ever happened.

The permanent dark spot swam in front of my eyes as I stared out the window. The brain scans always came up green, but sometimes I thought that spot had grown larger over the past five years. The damage had made me immune to a type of mind control I hadnt even known existed before then, but I wondered if there wouldnt eventually be a price to pay for that. One more, on a growing stack.

My eyes wandered to the other side of the table, where the chair sat empty. I found myself wishing I had used my JZI to record our last conversation. Too much had happened since then. Now when I thought of her, I saw her moonlit eyes staring out from the shadows of their sockets. Her warm, full lips had turned bloodless and cold. My memories of her were fading, replaced with the face of her revivor.

Did I choose the wrong side, Faye? I knew what shed say now. When she came back, the person shed been was lost. Now she worked directly with Samuel Fawkes, the same revivor that had her killed, and that fact didnt even seem to faze her. Now, like Fawkes, she believed any cost was acceptable if it meant destroying their enemies. It didnt matter that I found myself sitting in that camp, however uncomfortably. I knew where she stood now, but I wondered what she would have thought back then.
