BLURB:
Two
worlds collide in this action novelette. Zombies have destroyed civilization.
Gasoline fuel is no longer an option, but humanity must find a way to survive.
In response to trying to restore our way of life, we engineer franken-monsters.
Because of their small brains and massive sizes, these beasts make quick work
of farming and clearing land. These large creatures are immune to the zombie
virus and perform excellently in loud conditions. They are easy to train. They
behave like war horses, prone to help charge in and defend our livelihood.

EXCERPT
Avant was massaging his temples when the plan was
thunderously shattered by a panicked dinosaur. Clearing land rarely went to
plan, but it was rare that it went off course so soon.
The vegetation deeper in the forest was the first
sign of trouble. The commotion started with cracking trees as a large animal
thumped out of the nearby forest. As if being saddled in a giant rodeo, the
brontosaurus kicked and bucked with its back legs. The beast kept jumping from
left to right as if something were riding it. Our simple plan gave way to my
bellowing commands between the bleating roar of the long-necked dinosaur.
“Re-group point! Re-group point!” I yelled to my
crew, pointing down the fence line. This order would cause a lot of noise, but
a quiet operation was no longer an option. We also had to continue the plan.
Solomon was still preparing for our sweep, though I couldn’t imagine a better
crier than a loud, pained dinosaur. Were there ants on its back? No. Those were
zombies. The brontosaurus must have been foolish to stop for vegetation or bed
down nearby.
