Best-selling Top Suspense member Harry Shannon is one of the
most versatile member of our group. He writes horror (i.e. Zombie), sci-fi,
dystopian, and mystery fiction. Plus, he’s a well-known musician (and his teen daughter Paige is already taking after her father). So when
Harry has a new book out, it’s a reason to celebrate.
Harry’s newest is TheHungry 4: Rise of the Triad. It’s part of the Sheriff Penny Miller Series,
but it’s also a new twist for Penny and Harry. Here’s the description:
Small town Sheriff Penny Miller and her outlaw friend Scratch
somehow managed to survive a nuclear blast in Nevada and then a
brutal attack on their peaceful lodge in Colorado. They head for Los Angeles,
looking for a fresh start. The citizens of Southern California remain
blissfully ignorant of the coming war. They believe the zombies are simply an
urban legend.
When they find themselves in a suspiciously run Malibu rehab facility,
Miller can't relax. She knows the gore is about to hit the fan. Miller can
sense when zombies are near. And they’re almost always near.
When all hell breaks loose, Miller and Scratch must endure deadly experiments,
resist an ongoing government conspiracy, and battle another horde of ravenous
zombies.
And that’s just for starters.
The Hungry series began with a short story called Jailbreak, Harry says, which was created for a charity anthology
about zombies. “I asked Steven W. Booth, who was just beginning to write, if he
wanted to collaborate. The story went up free on Amazon and got downloaded tens
of thousands of times, so we wrote a novel called The Hungry. Best selling
zombie author Joe McKinney contributed the introduction. Those sales were also
great and launched an entire series. Sheriff Penny Miller of Flat Rock, Nevada
is one hell of a lot of fun to write. She has a sailor's mouth, but a heart of
solid gold. Her novels feature lots of black humor, action and gore.
Collaborating at this length is rather new to me, but I really enjoy it, so The
Hungry 5 is already in the works, You don't have to read these in order, by the
way, but it helps.”
Rise of the
Triad is already getting fabulous reviews, including these from prominent
reviewers and authors:
"Zombie thrillers loaded with sexiness and smarts."
-Jonathan Maberry, NYT Best Selling Author of Extinction Machine
"Like getting a bag of Halloween candy after a six month
fast." -Frank Errington, Horrible Book Reviews
"Not just wall to wall action, but balls to the wall
intense." -Steve Hockensmith, author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
"I loved it from the first
line." -Joe McKinney, author of Dead Cit
The Top Suspense Group is proud to count Harry Shannon as
one of our members. You definitely need to check out The Hungry 4.
