SYNOPSIS:

In 2036, a corrupt Chief of Police unleashes 51 programmable killer zombies to massacre nationals at a Carnival event on the island of Gosh, in a revenge plot against the Chief of Medical Staff at Gosh Hospital for a disagreement over a vaccine in 2016. The excitement builds with each series as the detectives unearth clues, and the author succeeds in pulling the various strands together to offer a breath-taking conclusion, where good triumphs over evil.

REVIEWERS COMPARISON: Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, Shakespeare’s Plays.

WHY THIS STORY: The fictional futuristic sci-fi thriller is set in 2036 on an imaginary island, off the coast of South America, well-known for fabulous beaches, resorts, and annual Carnival celebrations. The story is purely the imagination of the author, inspired by the zika virus in 2016. Zombies and robots take centre stage.

Zeeka and the Zombies is book one in the sci-fi thriller series about futuristic zombies and their clever Mastermind Zeeka. In the year 2036, at a massacre unleashed on nationals at a Carnival event on the island of Gosh, by programmable killer zombies disguised as a sailor band, one hundred and twenty-five people die, seventy-five are maimed for life, and all except one zombie, Number Nine, die in the shoot-out, Police believe that Number Nine died in the mayhem, and start a manhunt for his Master Zeeka, but are following the wrong lead. Police find Number Nine’s false head and observe that the killer - gadgets were not turned on.

Zeeka's Child is the second episode of the five-book sci-fi thriller series. Police search for Master Zeeka. They are searching for Dr. Jason Stephens but chasing the wrong suspect. Detective Jack Wildy discovers a flash drive revealing the face of the real perpetrator, Chief of Police Bill Grady. Dr. Jason Stephens gives another flash drive to Janet to deliver to Dr, Raynor Sharpe, confirming Wildy’s discovery, and about the child Master Zeeka [ Grady] kidnapped forty years ago. Grady disappears and the police start a manhunt for him.

Zeeka Returns is the third episode in the five-book sci-fi thriller series. Zeeka [ Grady] abandons his zombies in the forest and goes to the home of Dr. Raynor Sharpe to look for Steven Sharpe. Janet’s helper, Miranda, a beautiful robot, uses her taekwondo skills to capture Zeeka when she sees him holding a gun. The police shrink zombies and demolish them with high-tech weapons found in Grady’s bag. They slap Grady with more than 200 charges, he confesses and commits suicide.

Zeeka's Ghost is the fourth episode in the five-book sci-fi thriller series. A strong wind throws down Zeeka’s urn and it falls and breaks, his ashes scatter in Steven’s study, and Zeeka’s ghost appears to Dr. Steven Sharpe whom Zeeka had kidnapped as a child. The ghost begs Steven for forgiveness and saves Mandy, Steven’s wife, from dangerous kidnappers. Steven forgives him and Zeeka leaves the world in peace.

Resurrection: Book 5 is the grand finale in the five-book sci-fi thriller series. Number Nine, the zombie, who police thought was dead in the massacre at the Carnival event in February 2036 is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard, records the conversation on her security device, and plays it for Steven and Mandy. Number Nine collapses in the backyard with an epileptic fit, and Eve alerts the Gosh hospital. Tests and records confirm he is Number Nine, he is not a zombie and is the biological son of Bill Grady – Master Zeeka, who made him grow up with zombies because he was misdiagnosed with microcephaly- a disease associated with the zika virus that infected his mother who died in childbirth 22 years ago. Police speculate that the reason Number Nine’s killer gadgets were turned off at the massacre in February 2036 was because Bill Grady did not want him to die.

Raynor helps Number Nine choose Nieman Grady as his legal name, and Steven cures him of his brain ailment, Craniosynostosis with his new invention.

Steven is the new hero in Gosh because his miracle cures and inventions replace Carnival Tourism with Medical Tourism.
