Such Dreadful Heralds (The Ghostlord Book 1)

Such Dreadful Heralds (The Ghostlord Book 1)

Robert John Burke
0/5 ( ratings)
Bryan Mitchell has a lot of problems. He works the night shift at a dead-end job, he's struggling with his dying grandmother's hospital bills, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder makes dealing with people a challenge. Most days, he's just trying to survive.

And then there are his bad days.

You see, Bryan doesn't live in our world. He lives in an alternate world where the Cold War culminated in the release of a biological weapon called the Germ. After raging across the world as a pandemic, it adapted itself to every ecosystem on Earth. It is everywhere. It's inside people. And it changes them.

As a special kind of Contaminated called a Ghostlord, Bryan has abilities-- most notably, the ability to animate his obsessive fears into living, breathing monsters. Normally he has this under control, but one terrifying night will bring him into contact with the Contamination Task Force, a branch of the government dedicated to hunting down Prodigals: Contaminated civilians living under the radar. They offer Bryan a simple choice: Join or die.

Now, with his OCD raging out of control and a religious fanatic burning people alive, Bryan must master his condition, or risk becoming the latest casualty of the Germ.

Combining fast-paced action and adventure with a serious handling of obsessive-compulsive disorder, this first book in the Ghostlord series tells a story of people fighting for their existence in a dystopian world, where the greatest battle of all is the one with yourself.
