    About this ebook

    Zombies in Space

    The Kentucky Pride ship pulls alongside what appears to be a dead ship. They are a salvage crew, all military. Scanning the ship, they encounter a life sign reading. A child, innocent, among a sea of dead bodies. Surviving, hiding.

    They decide to enter the ship and rescue the child, check for survivors, and salvage what they can, despite the child's dire warning:

    "The dead woke up."

      The Zombie Virus - Richard Lee

      The Kentucky Pride came alongside the ‘floating boat’. A ship dead in space. No electronics, no communication, faulty distress beacon, one life form—child—and minimal life support. Seventy-seven confirmed dead. Reason unknown.

      The ship had been scanned twice. Jared considered a third scan, but he didn’t know what to scan for. Everything had been checked.

      His team was ready to board, the docking procedure almost complete. But there was a wrongness to this entire situation, but he couldn’t put his finger on the problem. Something was out of whack. The DELTA ship looked in prime condition; why was it drifting here, way off any known course?

      Computer, scan child’s vitals.

      He waited.

      Captain, we’re ready to board. Security team leader, Pope Marshall waved at the camera. He was a big man, all muscle but friendly as hell, once you got to know the guy. But when it came to laying down the law, there was no tougher mother on board. All the security team were large, well-armed and well trained. They had to be, especially on a prison ship; regardless if the prisoners were walking around or in time-suspension, as they were now.

      Jared scratched at the growth on his cheeks. Hold your horses, Pope. He turned to the controls. Computer, I asked for the child’s vitals. What’s taking so long?

      Delta security clearance required.  

      Why?

      Unknown.

      What ship is this?

      Delta security clearance required.  

      A deep sigh rushed from Jared. He looked to the screen. Pope still stared at the camera, his lucky rabbit’s foot clipped to his belt. Chez still wore a crucifix, even though Christianity had been debunked over a hundred years before, but he still believed. Scott carried a pocket knife, the blade rusted shut when it
