Outbreak: Escape from NYC!
A zombie survival story following Jack and Sergeant Stiff through a collapsing New York City.

Capichano focuses on the immediate physical and mental strain of survival rather than the origins of the outbreak. The story concludes with the characters facing critical moral dilemmas about loyalty and self-preservation in a world where traditional safety has vanished.
The book is set in New York City, specifically referencing locations like Staten Island and the Manhattan Ferry terminal. It draws on the tradition of urban horror and zombie apocalypse fiction, reimagining the city as a melting pot turned death trap where survival replaces success.
