Apocalyptic Empire: The Hatchery Compound
by Chris Blake
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 AuthorI 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.
