THE DYING OF THE LIGHT
START HERE
END
(BOOK ONE)
Bookseller David Blake narrowly escaped the zombie outbreak in his small town. Conscripted by a super-secret, century-old, zombie-killing Special Forces unit, he races to stop the end of the world. But flesh-eating monsters aren’t the only enemies, and the darkness in humanity itself may be its downfall.
INTERVAL
(BOOK TWO)
In a world devoured by chaos, survival hangs by a thread. Amidst the relentless onslaught of the undead, hope flickers dim. But beyond the horrors of the walkers lies an even graver threat. Can David Blake and the remnants of AEGIS rescue the salvation-bearing scientist from the frigid grip of Antarctica, or will humanity succumb to the merciless jaws of extinction?

Reviews
“An exhilarating and satisfying conclusion to the DYING OF THE LIGHT trilogy.”
GEORGE WRIGHT PADGETT
Author of Spindown, Cruel Devices, and Addleton Heights
“The Walker Chronicles add to an already excellent series of books by this talented author… these are like no other zombie books.”
AMAZON
“There are few really impressive zombie series… a well thought-out tale that manages to emphasise the plight of the survivors while keeping the reader gripped to the book. It’s got tension, humour, intelligence and above all is written in an easy reading style that belies the superb and talented prose. Zombie fan or not you should read this.”
SF BOOK REVIEWS
“Kristopher’s invigorating prose and storytelling abilities blew me away as I read. He’s created an extremely scary novel intertwining real world current events with the zombie apocalypse. I was fascinated.”
