Britain is falling. The dead are rising. And no one is coming to help.What began as isolated outbursts quickly escalates into full-blown national panic. When football matches are cancelled and EastEnders goes off air, people finally realise this isn't just another news cycle—this is the end.In the quiet Welsh town of Usk, teenage brothers Matt and Danny lock down their family estate, thinking their isolation and wealth will keep them safe. But as the infected claw at their gates, help becomes a distant dream, and the real fight begins—not just against the dead, but to protect the living.When a desperate family arrives seeking shelter, and survivors signal from across the river, the brothers must make a choice: remain behind the safety of their walls—or risk everything to save others.Outbreak is a gripping, character-driven zombie apocalypse novel set in the UK, filled with tension, survival, and heart. Perfect for fans of 28 Days Later, World War Z, and The Girl with All the Gifts.Review: This story is clearly written by not just a fan of the genre but also someone who knows what makes it tick. What we get here is a personal drama set around a zombie outbreak, and this is something that really adds to the power of the story and something that I would recommend to any reader of zombie fiction as we witness the mental journey and torment of our key protagonist. 4 Stars. –Zombiepedia.com
