#1 in the Tale of Tom Zombie Series
�My name is Tom Dexter. Some call me Tom Zombie. I contracted a virus � the Zombie virus they call it now; an epidemic with a deadly strain that�s creating killer zombies. This damn virus cost me my career, my family, and it�s gonna take my life.
I was a Chicago police officer for 18 years, but when symptoms of my virus appeared they just fired my ass. Can�t have no zombie-lookin� cops walkin� around, now can we? Oh, I was no angel, but my partner was just plain dirty. Maybe I covered for him one too many times, but after I got canned he finally got caught. He thinks I ratted him out and took his stash of money. Now he�s got my daughter, and before this virus kills me I�ve got to save her. And if any crazy killer zombies get in my way� they�re toast!�
