Book Synopsis“Readers who enjoyed The Strain Trilogy, by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan, will find plenty to satisfy them here.”—San Francisco Book Review on Omega DaysIn the weeks following the Omega Virus outbreak, survivors form desperate clusters, uniting to defend against hordes of the walking dead.

Nonetheless, he’s grown attached to his fellow survivors, and he won’t let anyone cause them harm—though he may be the one who inadvertently leads them to destruction…

Trade ReviewPraise for Omega Days“When people ask me to recommend great zombie fiction one of the names I consistently mention is John L. Campbell. Nobody writes an urban battle scene quite like he does. The pace of his storytelling will leave you breathless, and his characters are so real and so likeable you will jump up and cheer for them.
Omega Days is, hands down, one of the shining stars of the zombie genre. Do yourself a favor and move this one to the top of your to-be-read pile right now. You can thank me later.”—Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of

Omega Days, with a setting in a popular city that most people have heard about, that can take an average story and make it unique.”—Examiner.com

He effectively builds a mood of terror that sweeps the reader along in this powerful example of zombie thriller genre at its best.”—
Publishers Weekly"A highly entertaining read with a style that grabbed me from the very first page...There are creepy echoes…of masters like Koontz and King…If you want highly entertaining, escapist, zombie fiction with plenty of action peopled by rich and interesting characters, you couldn't do better than
Omega Days."—
