Deadheads: Evolution
A novel about a hybrid warrior fighting evolving undead in a broken world

The book explores identity through a monster protagonist. It asks what remains when biology shifts. Adams writes with a focus on internal struggle. The setting is bleak and grounded in survival logic. There are no magical fixes here. Only adaptation or death.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Adams delivers a grounded examination of survival in a broken world, focusing on Gage Owens’ internal conflict rather than mere action. The narrative effectively explores what remains when biology shifts, offering a thoughtful look at identity through a hybrid protagonist. The tone is appropriately bleak and heavy, avoiding lighthearted adventure for serious thematic depth. It succeeds in drawing on zombie fiction traditions to highlight social collapse and evolutionary horror. While not suitable for those seeking pure action, it rewards readers who enjoy character-driven stories that prioritize psychological burden and survival logic over easy resolutions or magical fixes.
