The Last Marine

samuel_tettey
WHEN THE WORLD ENDED, HE WAS ALREADY DEAD. Marine Sergeant Quinn Carter wakes up on a highway littered with the wreckage of a military convoy—burned-out husks of vehicles, torn bodies, and a silence so heavy it chokes him. The last thing he remembers is kissing his wife, Anna, goodbye before deployment. Now, the world is a graveyard, and the air reeks of blood and rot. But he’s not alone. The things that move in the ruins aren’t the shambling dead of old horror stories. They’re fast. Smart. They mimic human voices to lure survivors out. When Quinn hears a child’s desperate cry for help, he almost falls for it—until he sees their milky-white eyes and the way they move like a pack. THE FIRST BITE ISN’T THE END. IT’S JUST THE BEGINNING. Fighting his way through the wreckage, Quinn finds a lone survivor—Sarah Monroe, a fellow Marine with a tire iron and a haunted past. She tells him the truth: the world didn’t end with bombs or a virus. It ended with Systemic Immune Failure (SIF)—a plague that didn’t just kill people. It turned them into something worse. Now, the infected hunt in packs, using eerie mimicry to draw out the last survivors. And they’re getting smarter. ESCAPE ISN’T AN OPTION. IT’S A LIE. Trapped in a decaying city with the horde closing in, Quinn and Sarah must navigate a landscape of betrayal and desperation. The military remnants—led by a shadowy figure named Vance—aren’t here to save anyone. They’re rounding up survivors for reasons Quinn can’t fathom. And every step towards home—towards Anna—brings him closer to a truth more horrifying than the infected. BECAUSE THE REAL MONSTERS AREN’T THE ONES WITH THE MILKY EYES. With time running out and the horde learning from every attack, Quinn must decide: Does he fight for a world already lost? Or does he run—straight into the heart of the nightmare—to find the woman he loves? A PULSE-POUNDING, UNFLINCHING THRILLER THAT REINVENTS THE APOCALYPSE—WHERE THE REAL TERROR ISN’T THE INFECTED… IT’S WHAT THEY LEAVE BEHIND. PERFECT FOR FANS OF THE LAST OF US, BIRD BOX, AND THE ROAD. WILL YOU SURVIVE THE FIRST NIGHT?

A Kiss From the Goddess ~ Naruko-chan Compilation Stories

Collection of all my Naruko stories published in one book. Story List: Vol. 1: Konoha's Three Lilies Kakashi fell to his knees, trying his hardest to stem the flow of tears from his eyes and clutching a hand to his chest, trying his hardest to stop the ache coming from his heart. Neither was successful. "Best. Team. Ever." He declared, weeping tears of joy—In which Naruko is a pervert, Satsuki is gullible and Sakura is the only sane woman. Vol 2: The Goddess of Hunter Namikaze Naruko, one of three jinchuuriki siblings. She was the Village Pariah and Forgotten Daughter to the citizens of Konoha, but to some she was a huntress, a swordswoman, perhaps even a knight. After one fateful night, the girl decided to tread upon the path less traveled by, the path to a legend. Atalanta-like!Naruko & Arturia-like!Naruko story Vol. 3: Saga of Naruko the Demon Child Hagoromo chose not to split the Juubi into nine bijuu. Instead he chose to pass the bijuu down to his third child, the progenitor of the Uzumaki. Vol. 4: The Senju Prince & The Uchiha Princess All Uchiha Satsuki had was her hate and her memories of the dead until the tomboyish blonde Senju stumbled into her life. Vol. 5: Princess of the Night Sky Sometimes, our wishes can be granted, even before we knew we had them. Naruko has a wish she didn't know she had granted, and her life turns around, for the better… or, does it? A Naruto x Nanoha crossover story. Vol. 6: A Flower That Bloom In Rain of Blood Naruko, a member of a spy organization, dies, only to find herself reincarnated in the Warring Clans Era.

While her knowledge in medicine comes in handy, it's certainly not enough to change her destiny, the clan's and the whole world's too. Vol. 7: A Girl Called Naruko Naruko was used to the chains by now. Old and heavy, made from metal that wouldn't rust. A collar just shy of being tight enough to choke. But in the end even stone turned into dust, and time was the only thing she had. So she would wait, for freedom or death, whichever came first. Vol. 8 : Remnant's Maelstrom Ruby Rose disappeared at age three, lost in the woods of the island of Patch. Twelve years later, Satsuki Nakajima of the Saint Church of Belka crash-lands on Remnant.

Vol. 9: Daughter of the Dragon King "As a child my village was attacked by Dark Mages, I was lost everything that day. I was alone, until he found me, he took me in, gave me the power to achieve my dream. To him I was only a tool for his own agenda, but I know who I am, I am his student, his Dragon Slayer, his heir. I am Naruko Belserion, the daughter of Acnologia." Vol. 10: Rebirth In Red Reincarnation, it's a funny thing. With hopes of it happening, one of the most pure souls gets her wish. Family. The one thing she truly wanted more than anything else. A Naruto x DxD crossover story Vol. 11: A Certain Magical Naruko After rescuing a hauntingly familiar girl on the streets, Accelerator finds himself being thrust into a world that he never expected to be in.
