About this ebook

Viruses mutate. Some mutations are worse than others.

Ebola, one of the most feared of the hemorrhagic diseases, begins spreading across the borders of countries in West Africa. Soon after, the disease mutates into the “Z” or Zombie Virus. Journalist Hunter Morgan uncovers a disturbing connection between Chen-Zamora Pharmaceuticals and this mutation. Further investigation reveals a web of sinister intrigue connecting the pharmaceutical company to a treatment and research camp in West Africa, U.S. government officials, the CDC and the World Health Organization. Racing against time to find a cure, Hunter and several scientists go underground in order to hide from powerful forces trying to silence them forever.

REVIEWS:

Book #1, Mutation Z: The Ebola Zombies:

“The plot sucked me in, as it was well done and believable. This take on the pandemic angle was well done, and an interesting to see a zombie outbreak from start. I have to say this kept me on the edge of my seat, and made me want to wash my hands repeatedly.” – Shandy Jo, Mama Knows Books

“I am VERY excited to hear that this novelette will be growing into a series! Especially because of the ending that leaves you with buggy eyes and an impressive jaw gape.” – Rebecca Engelmann, Sister Sinister Speaks blog

Book #2, Mutation Z: Closing the Borders:

“Ms Peake delivered an enthralling read...Ms Peake pulls you into the story and keeps you reading with lots of action and twists to keep you on your toes.” – Shandy Jo at Mama Knows Books

“This second book is as intense as the first one. And the addition of new characters and the spread of the disease build the suspense to a fever pitch.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog

Book #3, Mutation Z: Protecting Our Own:

“Electrifying: Science Gone Amuck” – Mallory Heart Reviews

“Holy crap! / Just when you think things can’t get any crazier, they do. This is one intense series. I loved the first two books and this one is just as good, if not better.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog

“The Mutation Z series is a must read for horror and dystopian lovers everywhere. The story grows better and better with each novella.” – Sherry Fundin, Blogger and Reviewer

Book #4, Mutation Z: Drones Overhead:

“Well, the author did it again. Kept me tearing through this episode, cringing, cheering, and hoping. Mutation Z is like zombie M&Ms. You can’t read just one and keep reaching for more.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog

“Mutation Z: Drones Overhead by Marilyn Peake is the fourth novella in this zombie series that had me feeling like upchucking one minute and kicking ass the next.” – Sherry Fundin, Blogger and Reviewer

Book #5, Mutation Z: Dragon in the Bunker:

“Zombie horror, big government, a little bit of science fiction, and some modern cyber twists. Too good to pass up.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog

Book #6, Mutation Z: Desperate Measures:

“I almost didn’t want to start this one as it’s the final book and I didn’t want it to end. / I wondered who would survive, if they’d find a cure, whether the world could be saved. I didn’t have a clue how all of my questions would be answered. / The author did a bang up job of doing just that.” – Laura, FUONLYKNEW Blog

“Marilyn Peake wraps up this novella series, exposing all the conspiracies and corruption, the perverted reasons for setting the zombies loose, and my juices were flowing as they pissed me off and sickened me beyond words, but left me with the faith that a…few good men/women can make all the difference in the world.” – Sherry Fundin, Blogger and Reviewer

Ratings and reviews

this series is a must read. i cant help, but wonder if this tragic story will come true. i pray to the good lord, above. that doesnt not happen. the story is tragic, but its also exciting in away. you have people ,helping each other . no matter what it cost them . and the biggest part is this, they saved our world.

Poorly written stupidity. Reading this book/series will make you want to rip out your own eyeballs and then go to therapy to deal with the trauma of reading such poorly written junk. Stupid characters do stupid things that make no sense.. everything is generalised such as 'African wall hangings' instead describing the local color and pattern preference. Also, if you happen to see a once dead child suddenly alive again and eating a human arm.. would you question what is going on, or, be like the main character and just drink another cocktail with a pink umbrella? So. F'ing. Stupid.

The series was fascinating. It was an action movie in printed form. I would love to see this in a tv series.
