For Vintago Hawkins, it was just another month. That was until the virus outbreak started. In an attempt to protect his family, he decides to flee north to a place he visited as a child, a fish hatchery. Through his journey he encounters other survivors, an ex-Navy Seal, the remnants of a military company, and other groups of survivors. Vintago will have to decide who gets to stay, and who has to go, because not everyone can be part of a fledgling empire. "Every empire has a beginning, this one is a fish hatchery."

About the Author

I have written a few stories in the past, but the Apocalyptic Empire series is my first story set that was completed. I wrote the first book, because I am absolutely fascinated about the idea of life after the world falling to pieces. It's not all about zombies for me, it's about starting a new civilization, a new world order, so to speak. I really tried to reflect that interest in my first part of the series. I have a goal of creating another book soon to continue the story I have begun, so if you like the first book, the second will be coming shortly! On a personal note, I live with my wife and son out in the middle of the desert on the eastern outskirts of the Phoenix metropolitan area, much like my main character coincidently. I travel about 56 miles or so every day into Phoenix for my day job.
