Enter the literary apocalypse where the horror comes with a side of laughter.
The LZR-1143 Universe
The world ended quietly. Then it started screaming.
What began in a Long Island asylum with one man’s hallucinations became a global descent into chaos — a collapse engineered by science, faith, and fear.
The LZR-1143 virus was meant to push humanity forward. Instead, it dragged the dead back.
Across five novels, the LZR-1143 series traces the darkly funny, gut-wrenching odyssey of Michael McKnight, a disgraced actor turned accidental survivor, and a small band of unlikely allies — the brilliant Dr. Kate Whitmore, the teenage fighter Ky, and a handful of soldiers, scientists, and strays — as they claw their way through the ashes of civilization toward something that might resemble redemption.
Book One — Infection
The end of the world begins in an asylum. Accused of murdering his wife, McKnight wakes to find his psychiatric ward abandoned — except for the things pounding on the doors. His escape from King’s Park launches a darkly comic, brutally human trek through the first days of the LZR-1143 outbreak — and the shocking discovery that the apocalypse may have started at home.
Book Two — Evolution
The survivors drift across oceans of fire and ruin. McKnight, Kate, and their crew find temporary refuge, where a vaccine offers hope — and a curse. As humanity’s remnants regroup, the lines blur between the living, the infected, and those changed by the cure itself.
Book Three — Redemption
Civilization’s remains gather strength, but the virus mutates faster than faith can rebuild. From coast to coast, across ruined cities, the survivors confront new challenges from the undead — and the darker instincts of those still breathing. For every scientific breakthrough, another piece of humanity is lost.
Book Four — Desolation
The earth itself has turned against humanity, while Mike, Kate and Ky begin the impossible journey to fine Kate's daughter. Enhanced by the vaccine that saved them, yet haunted by what it’s made them, they fight to protect the last hope of a reborn world.
Book Five — Extinction
The war for survival reaches its breaking point. A fractured army gathers in the Rockies, where humanity’s last stand against the evolved dead will decide the fate of the species. As alliances collapse and old ghosts rise, McKnight must confront the truth of the virus, his past, and the price of saving what’s left of the world.
A World Beyond the Grave
The LZR-1143 saga spans continents and years — from a crumbling Long Island asylum to burning cities, ice-choked wastelands, and the fortified heart of a dying nation.
It’s a journey through horror and absurdity, loss and loyalty, science and faith — where laughter cuts through despair and hope refuses to die.
The end of the world is just the beginning.
