📝 Description: Emergency Broadcast

Boris Bacic structures Emergency Broadcast as a multi-perspective narrative set within a city consumed by an infection. The plot follows several distinct characters trapped in the quarantine zone. James witnesses a killing and debates seeking help. Daniel, a scientist, remains isolated in his lab while waiting for the threat to pass. Heather and her sister with autism struggle to survive on the streets. Pierce, a soldier, questions his orders after entering the dead city. Krista fights to protect her son from showing infection signs. Ben must choose between finding his wife or surviving alone. The book draws on the zombie apocalypse tradition and urban horror tropes. It examines how ordinary people react when societal structures collapse. The narrative focuses on immediate survival rather than long-term recovery. Readers who enjoy character-driven disaster fiction will find this compelling. Those preferring slow-burn psychological horror may find the pace too rapid. The story does not offer easy answers or heroic resolutions. Each character faces a moral dilemma that tests their limits. The setting remains confined to the infected city throughout. There are no external rescues or magical solutions provided. The ending leaves the outcome uncertain for all involved.
