Dawn of the Wayfinder

Military brat and high school senior Zack Brandt would give anything for something interesting to happen in his sleepy town of Orwell, NV. Until one day, he notices neighbors behaving strangely-then barbarically. Suddenly, he finds himself stuck in a rapidly spreading zombie-like virus outbreak in the middle of the Nevada desert. Dodging sick, bloodthirsty townsfolk, Zack arrives home to find his family missing. Left to navigate his way alone amid danger, duplicity, and violence, Zack's only chance of survival lies in the life lessons learned from his father, a retired Navy SEAL, now federal employee at the top-secret military base nearby. What begins with survival becomes a tactical mission to find his father in the chaos and lead his friends and neighbors safely out of their quarantined town filled with the highly infected, who will never stop in their pursuit to pass on the virus.
