Three Rivers Plague – Zachary Forbes 


 

After a return concert in his hometown, famous rockstar Thomas Wylde witnesses the unleashing of a biological weapon, which forces the nation into anarchy. His band is soon plunged into the post-apocalyptic city of Pittsburgh, now plagued by infection, cults, cocaine junkies, and even the mafia. A member of his band falls victim to the deadly new virus, forcing Thomas to abandon shelter and dive into the mystery of this supposedly Soviet-made bioweapon. But not everyone is convinced of its origins--like Boston police detective Dick Kennedy.

In the following days, it's up to Thomas and his band to discover the truth, not only about this new world, but about his government, his friends, and himself, all the while trying to carve out a slab of survival for everyone and everything he cares about.

Biography: Zachary Forbes is a graduate from the University of Florida, where he studied History, Business, and Literary Fiction. His four years there gave him the opportunity to connect with other writers and authors, whom he exchanged works with for review and advice. Now he writes mostly genre fiction with his brother, Joshua Forbes, who has published flash fiction works. Zachary likes to incorporate some elements of literary fiction into his genre work, just as his brother's experience with the brevity of flash fiction helps him edit/write scenes. Having a deep love for history, Zachary has spent a lot of time studying weapons both past and present. He incorporates his knowledge and experience with various types of weapons into the stories he writes. Three Rivers Plague, a post apocalyptic novel, is his first work with his brother. He takes inspiration from The Walking Dead, World War Z, Night of the Living Dead, and even the Mad Max series.
