THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER
When the apocalypse comes, only the strongest survive...
A stand-alone novel in the world of the “Red Dirt Zombies” trilogy.
Governor Vera Selvedge of Georgia was elected as a libertarian and found herself a virtual War Lord. She is holding it all together, but so many have died, or been maimed under her orders in this the First Z-War. Even more men and women have succumbed to the insanity and PTSD.
Jane Miniver of the Governor’s Protection Unit, the controversial GPU, has opened talks with the Tennessee Militia. This militia includes a young woman who is “The General’s Daughter,” and Georgia’s senior general, Bruce Clark is overjoyed.
A new character joined the GPU and many are worried by the trend towards people like her; “Suzie Creamcheese” she was called and you do not want to fall into her dainty little hands…
The Final Offensive has begun at last and as the New Southern Alliance fights the final battles, it is a time of both triumph and tragedy.
It is a rough time for all of them. Could the tragedies that devastate “Captain Alice” be assuaged by the attentions of the PTSD ridden Alabama Major Dawson Sanders? Can enough of the troops remain sane long enough to get the job done and establish the exclusion area to be designated the “Q-Zone?”

About Names and Curses
In my books and stories I identify myself on the author page as Michael Peirce (Talbot). To clarify all that, Talbot is my 'music name' which I use when playing bass or guitar in bands. I've gotten used to it after three decades!
It started years ago as Lawrence Talbot, the Wolfman (for trivia experts), it subsequently morphed to Mike Talbot and then just Talbot.
After a friend dreamed I was killed in a fight for the 400 Bridge over the Chattahoochee I decided to break the curse the only way I could think of. I put Mike Talbot in the first Red Dirt Zombies novel and he went down fighting for that very bridge...
