Ammo Run: Book 1 of Reanimated Nation

The world ended quietly at first.
A violent patient in a Tennessee emergency room. Riots caught on cellphone cameras. Emergency broadcasts warning citizens to avoid contact with the infected.
Then civilization collapsed in a matter of days.
Eighteen months earlier, Dr. Rebecca Mace survived a classified biomedical disaster at a secret research facility in Africa—a nightmare buried beneath corporate settlements, nondisclosure agreements, and government silence. She escaped with one promise burned into her mind:
Never be helpless again.
Now the infection she thought was contained has returned, erupting simultaneously across the globe. Cities burn, communication networks fail, and the dead rise with murderous speed.
In the mountain town of Rebels Gauntlet, former Army platoon sergeant Jackson “Jax” Sheridan watches the chaos unfold with grim clarity. Combat-wounded and medically discharged after Afghanistan, Jax has spent years preparing for the collapse of modern systems most people took for granted. While the rest of the country panics, the people of Rebels Gauntlet organize.
Welders fortify streets.
Veterans establish defenses.
Ham radio operators search the static for survivors.
And when ammunition begins running low, the town faces an impossible choice: venture into the dead world beyond their walls… or wait to be overrun.
As the infected close in and society crumbles, Rebecca and Jax discover that survival takes more than weapons and walls. It takes trust. Leadership. Sacrifice.
And the courage to build something worth saving in the ruins of America.
Ammo Run is a mature, gritty, emotionally grounded zombie apocalypse thriller perfect for fans of The Remaining, One Second After, and Black Summer.
