"Russian helicopter pilot Vladimir Yurish is flying north in his Black Hawk, fulfilling his promise to take former reality show star Angie West in search of her family. Joining them to add firepower are Skye Dennison, a college girl turned sniper, and ex-con Bill ""Carney"" Carnes. The team flies to Angie's family ranch in Chico, California, where her family should be safe and waiting. Instead, they find the ranch burned and looted, Angie's parents slaughtered, and her husband and daughter missing. This destruction is not the work of the walking dead, it is the predation of humans.

Vlad and his Black Hawk take shelter with a local ranch hand, a loner determined to survive, but there is no hiding from the dead, and the two men find themselves in an isolated cabin, fighting for their lives as drifters come at them from every side.

Meanwhile, Angie and her team carry out an increasingly desperate hunt through Chico, which has been overrun by the dead and haunted by scattered, frightened refugees. Along the way they will encounter people with curious survival techniques, marauders responsible for the death of Angie's parents, and learn the fate of Dean and Leah West. Most terrifying of all, they will make first contact with the next evolution of the zombies- fast, thinking, capable of learning, and driven by an insatiable hunger not only for flesh, but for violence. In several, surviving underground government labs it is called the Hobgoblin.

The survivors of the Omega Virus make a desperate effort to find the living. But the walking dead aren't done with them yet...

Helicopter pilot Vladimir Yurish is a man of his word. The last thing he wants is to abandon the safety of the U.S.S. Nimitz and his newly adopted son Ben. Still, a promise is a promise, no matter how close to death it brings him...

Angie West has fought hard to keep strangers alive, but now it's time to tend to her own. Only, when she finds her family missing and their hideout burned and looted, she realizes the threat to her family isn't just the undead-the living can do so much worse...

Halsey has done well for himself, given the circumstances. Between his secluded ranch and precise shooting, the plague hasn't touched him. Until a Black Hawk crashes on his property, bringing the war to his front door...

Amid the chaos of a destroyed civilization, the survivors encounter a new threat.

And these new monsters can't be outrun-or outwitted..."

Reviews for Drifters (#3 Omega Days)

"“When people ask me to recommend great zombie fiction one of the names I consistently mention is John L. Campbell. Nobody writes an urban battle scene quite like he does. The pace of his storytelling will leave you breathless, and his characters are so real and so likeable you will jump up and cheer for them. Omega Days is, hands down, one of the shining stars of the zombie genre. Do yourself a favor and move this one to the top of your to-be-read pile right now. You can thank me later.”—Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of The Savage Dead and Dead City “Characters as diverse as a priest fallen from grace, to a prisoner who finds his heart, are all in this story of terror….Campbell is good with characters…It’s stories like Omega Days, with a setting in a popular city that most people have heard about, that can take an average story and make it unique.”—Examiner.com “An impressively convincing vision of a world suddenly gone insane…The maelstrom that Campbell creates is a somber portrayal of the human capacity for both selfishness and, more rarely, altruism. He effectively builds a mood of terror that sweeps the reader along in this powerful example of zombie thriller genre at its best.”—Publishers Weekly ""A highly entertaining read with a style that grabbed me from the very first page...There are creepy echoes…of masters like Koontz and King…If you want highly entertaining, escapist, zombie fiction with plenty of action peopled by rich and interesting characters, you couldn't do better than Omega Days.""—SF Revu "
