With the World’s Population at Risk, a Few Survivors Emerge…
Throughout recorded history, on a regular basis Mother Nature cleans out the human species with a pandemic, the most recent being the global influenza outbreak after World War I. Improved medical treatments, vaccinations and knowledge have shielded humanity from a major pandemic since then, but the question isn’t whether it will happen again—it’s when, where, and how it will start. With scientific, political, and social trends torn from the headlines of recent news, Higher Ground: Zero Hour explores the ways in which terrorism, government conspiracies, and the growing indifference of humanity could all contribute to a worldwide crisis. The story focuses on a handful of people who learn the worst is coming, and have tried to sound the alarm, while preparing to survive the collapse of civilization. Banding together, facing unexpected threats, they combine skills and knowledge to meet up at a refuge that will hopefully see them through the worst of what the world is facing: an Ebola outbreak that could leave 90% of humanity dead. Insightful, compelling, and illuminated with characters who are deeply real, courageous, and compassionate, Higher Ground: Zero Hour is a thought-provoking thriller that will leave you on the edge of your seat.
