Julian Haeckel survived one war.
Now another one has reached his cabin.
When the outbreak begins in Cedar Town, Julian only means to check on an old neighbor and get back behind his locked gate. But the roads are collapsing, the dead are moving through the trees, and men like Roy Gant and Curtis Greyheart are already looking for weakness, weapons, and supplies.
Julian knows how to survive. He learned that years ago in the desert, beside a burning Humvee and a friend he could not save.
Now, with an injured old man and his granddaughter depending on him, Julian must decide what kind of man survives when the rules are gone.
Julian’s War is a gritty companion novella in the Cedar Town Outbreak series, set before the events of The Road to Briar Ridge. It is a fast, dark survival story about guilt, duty, violence, and the cost of staying alive.
