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

Saddened To Hear About the Passing of Gary Klar


I was very sad to read about the passing of Gary Klar, who played Steel in Romero's Day of the Dead.


Back in 2009, when I was a struggling writer, I attended a Famous Monsters of Filmland convention in Indianapolis. One of the featured events was runnings of all three George Romero movies from the Dead series followed by Q&A sessions with the cast members. Being a zombie geek, I attended all three showings. One of the panelists was Gary Klar. Despite playing a total asshole in the movie, Gary was one of the nicest and funniest celebrities at the event.

After the panel, Gary and talked for a few minutes. He steered the conversation toward me and I told him I was an unpublished writer. Gary jumped right in and encouraged me, telling me as a fellow artist he knew all too well how hard it was to be successful and not to give up.

Three years later, in 2012, I was a published writer with The Vampire Hunters trilogy under my belt and my first zombie novel, Rotter World, having been recently released. I flew down to Fort Meyers, Florida, to sell books at Zombicon. Gary also happened to be there. 
 
I brought an autographed copy of my book to him and said, "You probably don't remember me."

Gary looked me in the eye and replied, "Yeah, you're the guy I met at the other convention who is trying to get published."

I handed him the copy of Rotter World and said, "I finally made it."

Gary was genuinely happy about it and said, "I knew you'd make it."

Gary Klar was a decent, kind-hearted man. My condolences to his family and friends who will surely miss him.

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.
