The world is now made up of three groups; the infected zombies, the uninfected, and slow burners like Zed. The slow burners have survived the virus and are immune. The question is will it last? Will they eventually succumb to the infection? No one knows.

Here's the set-up:
A new flu strain has been spreading across Africa, Europe, and Asia.
Disturbing news footage is flooding the cable news channels. People are
worried. People are frightened. But Zed Zane is oblivious.
Zed
needs to borrow rent money from his parents. He gets up Sunday morning,
drinks enough tequila to stifle his pride and heads to his mom’s house
for a lunch of begging, again.
But something is wrong. There’s
blood in the foyer. His mother’s corpse is on the living room floor.
Zed’s stepdad, Dan is wild with crazy-eyed violence and attacks Zed when
he comes into the house. They struggle into the kitchen. Dan’s yellow
teeth tear at Zed’s arm but Zed grabs a knife and stabs Dan,
thirty-seven times, or so the police later say.
With infection
burning in his blood, Zed is arrested for murder but the world is
falling apart and he soon finds himself back on the street, fighting for
his life among the infected who would kill him and the normal people,
who fear him.
One Reviewer Notes:
I am truly impressed with Bobby Adair's Slow Burn: Zero Day. It is one of the best pieces of zombie fiction I've ever read! Adair's writing style is matter-of-fact and honest, but he still has a strong sense of prosody and his diction is right on point. The book kicks right into action, skipping the often unnecessary details while still painting a vivid image of the setting and characters. There is a sense of immediacy about the book that grabs you by your shirt collar and doesn't let go!
The book is highly visceral, gritty, and raw, but rather than it being gratuitous in terms of violence or gore, it actually uses these elements on a philosophical level as well as through literary tone. His ability to weave sardonic humour throughout the book yet still maintain a grave atmosphere illustrates a very advanced style of writing. The fast-paced action and suspense in Slow Burn had me hooked from the very first page to the very last.

About the Author
Bobby was conceived in Japan, born in Michigan, is a card carrying Cherokee, is descended from a Polish slave, an African slave, countless European immigrants, and displaced American Indians. He grew up as a military brat, so lived in ten different states and lost count of the schools he attended before finally graduating high school in Texas. After attending the University of Texas, he lived most of his adult life in and around Austin before moving to Colorado in 2012.
Bobby has starved as a guitar player in a penniless metal band, spent too much money as the owner of several successful restaurants, spent years working for "the man" in large companies as a computer programmer, and made and lost more money than he'd like to admit playing in the stock market.
These days, he spends his time walking his dogs, mountain biking, road biking, hiking in the mountains, still writing code for "the man", and chasing his dream of becoming a successful writer.

Here’s the set-up:
For Nelson Gody, the summer of 1969, the summer he would turn sixteen, began as all his past summers had. Life on his family’s small farm outside Bells Ferry, Mississippi, was safe and routine: chores, taking care of his little sister, working at a local gas station, swimming in the Wolf River with his best friend–his world was familiar and predictable. All that would change as young Nelson experiences his first love, wrestles with the secret his best friend has been hiding, and meets a mysterious stranger who appears one day on an exotic motorcycle called the Black Shadow. Capped by the devastating effects of hurricane Camille, the events of that summer ensured that life as Nelson knew it would never be the same again.
