Defiance - A Post-Apocalyptic...

Adrienne Lecter

My world is turning into a living nightmare. 
My best friend has been murdered and turned into a zombie. I’ve fled what came way too close to a mad scientist’s lair for anyone’s good. I’ve stepped over the dead bodies of men, women, and children who I’ve risked my life for. Watched what little hope and security thousands of people have clung to for weeks go up in flames—and half of them even looking enthusiastic about it. And then the bastards killed another of my friends by turning her into an undead, super-strong monster—that I’ve had to stab to permanent death to prevent her from tearing apart helpless children. 
My right hand is still sticky with her cooling, congealing blood. 
Getting dragged off to God knows where kind of pales in comparison to that—but only so much. 
And all that happened since earlier this morning. 
I have no idea if I’ll still be alive come midnight—or if I even want to. 
We thought the zombie apocalypse would be the worst that could happen to us. Looks like we were wrong. 
When giving up isn’t an option, the only way out is through.

Into the Darién

E.B. Harding

The Darién Gap—a lawless strip of jungle between Panama and Colombia—has swallowed countless travelers. Few who enter ever make it out. 
When a small charter plane crashes in the heart of this untamed wilderness, four survivors are left with no rescue, no supplies beyond what they can carry, and no choice but to trek through one of the most dangerous places on earth. 
Lena, a battle-hardened pilot, and her son Noah, an ambitious young co-pilot, were supposed to be running a routine flight. Alex, their wealthy passenger, claimed he was on a medical research expedition—but his obsession with a rare jungle orchid hints at another agenda. And Amaia, a quiet woman with a past she doesn’t share, seems to know far more about the land—and the people who control it—than she’s willing to admit. 
The jungle closes in fast. Days bring unbearable heat, venomous snakes, and rivers teeming with predators. Nights echo with the sound of something stalking them just beyond the firelight. Tensions splinter the group as distrust grows and survival becomes a brutal negotiation. 
Every step forward is a gamble. Every decision could be the one that gets them killed. And in the Darién, the most dangerous thing they’ll face might not be the jungle at all. 
Into The Darién is a gripping survival thriller of greed, loyalty, and endurance, where the secrets people keep are as deadly as the terrain.
