About this listen

Virus Z, the series. Before the Outbreak. Book one. A short story.

Emma Johnson is 12 years old. She lives with her aunt and her two cousins, as her parents died when she was two years old. At home, she is treated more like a servant than a member of the family.

She often thinks about her parents, who were both virologists and worked on secret government projects. She wonders what really happened to them. A few theories exist as to the real cause of their disappearance and if they really are dead.

Possessing a keen interest in science, one day she discovers something unusual using the school lab’s microscope. The find startles everyone, especially her science teacher, Mrs. Norris, who tells her to keep the matter a secret for the time being.

Virus Z is an original zombie thriller, unlike any zombie story ever written. In this unique and fascinating adventure, our young protagonist must figure out the mysteries that are beginning to emerge. Agencies around her are hiding secrets upon which hinge the survival of mankind.

Emma must forge alliances and get to the bottom of everything to piece the puzzle together, and time is running out. Amid the chaos that ensues and the colossal challenges that lay ahead, she must act swiftly as the fate of the world rests in her hands.

So scroll up and click the buy button, and follow her in this gripping tale!

Baskerville Book Reviews

This is more of a prologue than a book 1. It just introduces you to the characters while giving a small amount of backstory. It’s well written, though I dislike the first-person perspective. I’ve never liked that perspective. That being said, it does make the sequels more appealing to me. A first-person zombie story ought to be exciting.

I have very little to say about the narrator. She did a fine job and brought the characters to life with sass and personality.
