Echoes of the East

Thomas Guise

Decades after the zombie outbreak shattered civilization, the fragile peace in the west is about to crumble.
When Knox's Castle's elite sniper vanishes while investigating mysterious explosions from the east, Ghost and his partner are forced beyond their compound's walls into infected territory—where the undead roam freely and survival depends on three rules: avoid the infected, conserve ammo, and trust your team.
But in the lawless eastern zones, those rules mean nothing.
As they track their missing comrade through the ruins of Starfall City and deeper into hostile territory, Ghost's team discovers something far more terrifying than shambling corpses: the living are hunting the living, alliances shift like shadows, and the real horror isn't the zombies clawing at you—it's determining which of your friends deserves a bullet.
What begins as a rescue mission spirals into a psychological nightmare where loyalty meets human depravity. Every step forward becomes a potential death sentence. The pressure mounts. Paranoia spreads. And when your team starts seeing ghosts, how do you know who's still on your side?
This immersive post-apocalyptic thriller blends tactical survival horror with psychological suspense, perfect for fans of intense zombie fiction, military thrillers, and stories that explore the darkness within. From the author's debut novel comes a gripping tale where the infected aren't your only problem—it's the guilt that claws at your sanity, turning every shadow into an accusation.
Will you survive long enough to uncover the truth behind the explosions? Or will the east claim them like it claimed so many before?
In a world where society collapsed and the undead walk the earth, the real question isn't how to survive the zombies—it's whether you can trust the living.
