The Rotter World Saga Is Available as a Boxset for Kindle


My first zombie series is now available as a box set!



The
Rotter World Saga is only $.99 on Kindle and free on Kindle Unlimited. The paperback version will be available soon.

 

Eight months have passed since vampires stole the Revenant Virus from a government laboratory and released it on mankind, nearly wiping out both species. In the aftermath, a small band of humans and vampires formed an alliance and rode out the zombie apocalypse in a fort along the coast of southern Maine. 

 The uneasy coalition is strained with the arrival of the creator of the Revenant Virus, Dr. Compton, who claims to have produced a vaccine that will allow mankind to take back civilization from the living dead. However, it is located in a secure underground facility five hundred miles away outside of Gettysburg.

Mike Robson and Dravko lead a team of humans and vampires, which is protected by Natalie Bazargan’s female zombie killing squad, to retrieve the vaccine. Once out of the confines of their haven, none of them are prepared for the nightmare caused by the outbreak including devastated cities, hordes of rotters, and rape gangs.   

Thus begins the Rotter World Saga. Over the next few weeks, the team faces scenarios that test their ability to survive. Mike, Natalie, and Dravko will make life or death choices that will decide not only their fates but the fate of their species, leading to the final battle between the living and the living dead to see who will control the planet.

 

 “With Rotter World, Scott M. Baker pulls out all the stops in a zombie thriller that is brutal, violent and terrifying. Definitely not for the faint-hearted.”—New York Times bestseller Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero


“Think there are no new or original zombie authors? Think again. Scott M. Baker provides an exciting voice and fresh outlook on the undead. Fun, compulsive reading.”—Brian Keene, author of The Rising and City of the Dead

 “Scott M. Baker writes in the tradition of J.L. Bourne and Joe McKinney. Fans of thriller writers like Brad Thor will also find powerful, welcome similarities in Rotter World.”—Scott Kenemore, author of Zen of Zombie“


Scott M. Baker has managed to bring together the best of what I love about end of the world, vampire and zombie tales in one glorious story. If you think zombie and vampire stories are overdone and there is not anything new you can do with them, Rotter World proves that theory wrong.”—Peter Schwotzer of Famous Monsters of Filmland

Let's Not Forget My Older Works: The Rotter World Saga

Rotter World -- Eight months ago vampires released the Revenant Virus on humanity. Both species were nearly wiped out. For Mike Robson, the situation could be far worse. He’s joined up with a small band of humans and the last coven of vampires who are riding out the zombie apocalypse in an old fort along the coast of southern Maine. The group’s uneasy alliance is strained by the arrival of the creator of the Revenant Virus. He claims there is a vaccine that will make them immune to the virus, but it’s located in a secure underground facility five hundred miles away. To retrieve the vaccine, Robson leads a raiding party of humans and vampires down the devastated East Coast. Yet none of the horrors Robson has faced match what awaits in the underground facility…

Rotter Nation -- Despite being nine months into a zombie apocalypse, life had taken a fortunate turn for Mike Robson and Natalie Barzagan. Not only had their group retrieved the vaccine for the Zombie Virus from the underground military facility at Site R, they had found love with each other. That optimism is short-lived. When the group returns to its camp, a rape gang has destroyed the compound, murdered their friends, and kidnapped one of the young women. With everything they have achieved now destroyed, Robson makes the fateful decision to split his group. As he organizes a desperate attempt to rescue their friend from the rape gang, Natalie leads her Angels through a rotter-infested nation to bring the vaccine to the government-in-exile on Omaha. Both groups soon discover that everything that has happened to them up to now cannot compare with the horrors they are about to encounter.

Rotter Apocalypse -- The zombie apocalypse is about to reach its inevitable conclusion, but not before it unleashes a few more nightmares on Natalie Barzagan, Mike Robson, and Windows. After breaking away from the rest of the group, Natalie and her Angels succeeded in getting the vaccine to the government-in-exile in San Francisco where Natalie joins the military effort to clear the West Coast of the living dead. Robson destroyed the rape camp that had kidnapped Windows, but not until after she had escaped. Along with the remaining vampires and a band of camp stragglers, he sets off to build a new compound. Windows and the ten-year-old girl she rescued from the camp are taken in by a kindly widower who gives them the opportunity to start over and heal their wounds, emotional and physical. Just as Natalie, Robson, and Windows are settling into their new lives, each will be confronted with a final life or death decision that will decide their fates.

The Rotting Zombie Review of Rotter Apocalypse

This week The Rotting Zombie posted a review of Rotter Apocalypse, the final book in my Rotter World trilogy, giving the book nine out of ten rotting zombie heads and calling it "another great zombie story." The review notes:

There is a lot of zombie fighting action, the undead described in as much detail as always giving you a visualisation of their condition and the sheer amount of them. Lots of ghouls get dispatched in many ways (death by bull my favourite!) but there also a whole host of humans falling victim to them in different exciting ways such as one poor soldier who is trapped while hiding under a truck, zombies in mass are always more awesome than lone ones and on that front Apocalypse delivers.

The quality of the writing is as good as it has ever been, still riding high on where it got to by the end of World, Baker contains the tradition of short snappy chapters that make Apocalypse so easy to read in short sessions and keep you coming back for just one more chapter. By book three you have come to know some of these characters, this doesn't stop Baker from being as ruthless with their lives as he always has been, by the end key characters are no more, a lot not even getting heroic deaths. This all leads up to a tightly wound up ending that was maybe slightly too optimistic but bizarrely not one that many zombie novels I have read go down.

You can read the entire review here, as well as The Rotting Zombie's reviews of Rotter World and Rotter Nation.

Then, from this Friday until Sunday, 30 October to 1 November, I'll be at Spooky Empire in Orlando. This is going to be a kick-ass event this year with special writer appearances by authors such as Zac Brewer, Roger Ma, Scott Kenemore, Mitch Hyman, and many more as well as media guests including George Romero, Malcolm McDowell, and Tony Todd. For anyone who will be there and wants to say hello, my panel and book signing schedule is here.

There Have Been Some Interesting Changes in Plans

There have been some changes in my publishing plans over the next few months, some of which I can talk about and others which are still in development.

The good news is that Rotter Apocalypse is nearing completion. The editing and proofing are done, and now all I need is to have the manuscript formatted for publication. I am looking at a release date of mid- to late October. Barring any unforeseen glitches (is there such a thing as foreseen glitches?) the book will be available by Halloween.

My apologies for the delay in getting released the last volume in The Vampire Hunters trilogy. Emby Press and I are in negotiations which, when concluded, should mean new and exciting things for the trilogy.

There is other possibly great news on the horizon, but I can't talk about that yet. Please check in often. I'll update you as things develop.

My Writing Projects for 2015 and 2016

Summer is nearing an end. I took advantage of my daughter's summer vacation, my wife having time off as she transitioned between jobs, and my having completed several projects that ran simultaneously to enjoy a few weeks of down time with my family. On Monday, my daughter and wife go back to school and work, respectively, so I'll be back in front of the keyboard typing away furiously. Trust me, I have a lot to keep me busy.

Rotter Apocalypse, the sequel to Rotter Nation and the final book in the Rotter World saga, is in the final stages of production and is scheduled for release around 10 October. This book is the best one in the series. I've been working on this project for close to five years now, and I'll miss the characters, at least those few (if any) who survive. Stay tuned for the exact publication date and promotional deals tied in with its release.

I'm about to begin a new project I'm very excited about, one that combines my two passions outside of my family -- history and horror. The series is titled OSS: Office of Supernatural Services and will tell the story of Allied intelligence officers battling Nazi occultists during World War II. There are a lot of unanswered questions about the war, such as the significance of the vault with twelve pedestals beneath the SS Obergruppenfuhrer Hall at Wewelsburg Castle. With OSS I plan on creating my own legend surrounding these mysteries while blending historical events and figures with intense action and horror. I've been waiting two years to wrap up the other series in order to begin this one.

The Hell Gate project is still going strong. Hell Gate is being shopped around. The first draft of the second book is completed and with my beta readers, and I'm drafting plot lines for the next four books in the saga. With luck, this series will begin publication in mid- to late 2016.

As of the moment I still do not have confirmed publication dates for the Monster Hunter: Doomsday anthology with my short story "From Space It Came" (a giant alien spider terrorizes Gainesville) or the third and final installment of The Vampire Hunters trilogy, Dominion. I'll pass along that information when it becomes available.

That's it for now. I plan on being busy until the spring. For my fans, I promise you the wait will be worth it.

Update on My Current Writing Projects


Rotter Apocalypse, the final book in the Rotter World trilogy, is scheduled for release 1 October 2015. The cover art has been completed and the manuscript is undergoing final edits. I'm very excited about this novel because I wrap up all the loose ends left hanging in Rotter Nation and detail the war between humans and living dead for control of the earth.



















The Vampire Hunters: Dominion, the final book in my vampire trilogy, is being finalized and is set for release in August.

"From Space It Came" -- about a giant wolf spider that terrorizes Gainesville, Florida -- will soon be published in Emby Press' Monster Hunters: Doomsday anthology. The Kindle version will be released in the next few days; the print edition is scheduled for publication by late July. I will provide exact dates and links as they become available.

Hell Gate, the first book in my post-apocalypse young adult series, has been submitted to a publisher and I'm waiting to hear back. I am also revising the second book in the series and plotting out the third book.

Finally, this fall I'll begin work on my latest series -- OSS: Office of Supernatural Services. Adolf Hitler and Heinrich Himmler make a pact with Satan to ensure success on the Eastern Front and guarantee the existence of the Thousand Year Reich, and it's up to  a small band of intelligence officers in London to uncover the details of this Faustian bargain and stop the Nazis before they conquer all of Europe.
