Stage 3: Delta: (Volume 5) A Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller

4.3 out of 5 stars (46)

In a world already in flames, the virus just turned up the heat.
What had been a miracle for one, might just have doomed them all…


Horror master Ken Stark is back with
Stage 3: Delta, the much-anticipated addition to the multi-award-winning Stage 3: Post-Apocalyptic Zombie Series. With fast-paced action, intense suspense, and a cast of unforgettable characters, the Stage 3 series is a must-read for fans of horror, Z-POC fiction and thrillers.

THEY THOUGHT THE WORST WAS OVER... THEY WERE WRONG.
After three long months at the ragged edge of survival, Mason, Sarah, Mackenzie and the group have retreated to back roads and small towns in order to avoid the worst of the swarms.

They saw it first in San Luis Obispo.
The undead were changing.
Evolving.
Acting and reacting together in a kind of hive-mind.

They thought it an aberration at first, but after traveling for so many miles and still encountering this
upgraded version of the original monster, they have to face an ugly possibility...

If the virus was really linking these creatures together, then every last one of them would be
coming after the girl who had been plugged into the collective by surviving a bite.

They would be coming after Mackenzie.

But danger in this new reality comes not only from the dead and undead.
Others are out there.
Others like them, doing what they have to do to get by...
And every encounter with these others comes with the risk of death.

They were ten until a few shorts weeks ago.
Now, they are nine.
How quickly they become eight is anyone’s guess.

But one fact is crystal clear...
If what they fear most is actually happening, that number won’t stop dropping until it hits zero.

★★★★★
"Stark takes the horror genre and blends a tale of action and suspense, friendship and a cynical man’s second chance to discover life through the enthusiasm of a young friend as they work together to survive in the midst of an apocalyptic zombie attack." (Stage 3)

★★★★★
"The stages of zombies was a nice touch and gave the story originality." (Stage 3)

★★★★★
"Mr. Stark's brilliant writing skills depict the battle scenes so vividly that it makes readers see the actions in their mind as if watching a horrendous movie. It is terrorizing and gripping." (Alpha)

★★★★★
"Just when you think you know the characters, another layer is revealed! Just when you thank you know the story line, it takes a big turn! And the combination of the two makes for a gripping, page turning treat you don't want to put down!" (Charlie)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Multi-award-winning horror writer Ken Stark was born in Saskatchewan, but has called Vancouver home for most of his life. He was raised on a steady diet of science fiction and disaster movies, so it seems right that his first published book series be about the zombie apocalypse. In his spare time, Ken tries to paint like Bob Ross and play poker like Doyle Brunson, but results suggest that he might have got it all backwards.

    I started with book 1 and found myself at the end of book 5 before I knew it. Great writing style, engaging storylines, likeable and unlikable (in a good way) characters.
