Fight the Hunger — William Allen

Zombies. Run and hide, or wait to be eaten. Not exactly. Not if you are Brad McCoy. Brad McCoy was a family man, a quiet fellow who paid his taxes, went to ball games, and was generally happy with his lot in life. Then the First Wave inexplicably fell, and got up ten minutes later with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Surviving the initial onslaught but missing the most important people in his life, Brad staggered on, and found his new lot in life. As a zombie exterminator, Brad made areas safe for survivors to return, but he could not be bothered with dealing with the living. None of it bothered the tormented exterminator, and those who thought they knew Brad believed he was just as dead inside as the zombies. What happened to change Brad, and return him, gradually, to the ranks of humanity, was a chance meeting in a shattered ruin that used to be his hometown. But even as Brad was changing, so are the monsters he has sworn to exterminate. If you are in the mood for a non-traditional zombie story, heavy on the firepower and with a touch of East Texas charm, then this is the book for you. These zombie hunters aren't using katanas or cricket bats, and they never go into the basement, ever. Instead, they prove that even in a fallen, zombie-plagued world, humans are still the apex predators. Because in Texas, Brad's got the cure for the zombie apocalypse, and it starts with lead and ends in fire.
