A sci-fi horror tale of scavengers fighting alien zombies on a crashed ship.
Tim Waggoner presents a sci-fi horror narrative rooted in the Zombicide: Invader universe. The story follows a group of scavengers and soldiers who crash-land on an abandoned world after their ships are intercepted by a quarantine patrol. They seek to plunder a deserted R&D facility, lured by rumors of valuable research left behind after a neighboring planet was devastated by Xenos, or alien zombies. The team discovers the planet is not as empty as they assumed. A new, aggressive Xeno threat awakens, desperate to escape its confinement. The narrative forces these disparate crews to cooperate against a common enemy. Waggoner draws on the tradition of space opera and zombie apocalypse fiction, blending military action with supernatural horror elements. This book suits readers who enjoy fast-paced adventures involving alien creatures and survival scenarios. It may not appeal to those seeking slow-burn psychological horror or pure military strategy without the supernatural component. The plot hinges on whether the survivors can destroy the foe or sacrifice their lives to protect the galaxy from further spread.
This work sits within the contemporary sci-fi horror genre, specifically expanding the lore of the Zombicide: Invader tabletop game. It reflects modern interests in cooperative survival narratives and space-based apocalyptic settings.
