The armies of hell are loosed upon paradise and nothing can stand in their path. > WINNER: Pinnacle Book Achievement Award - Best Science Fiction "...a chilling community horror adventure like no other, and one which leaves you with a lump in your throat throughout. ...one of the most interesting and original virus-style thriller novels I've read in a long while." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS) "This is a well-crafted horror story with memorable characters and an unusual plot. The Holocaust Engine is a fun and quick read, thanks to the beauty of language and the authors' gift for storytelling and plot." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Jose Cornelio (5 STARS) It begins with disease. A brain-rotting virus, which leaves its victims disoriented and hyper-violent, rages out of Cuba into the Florida Keys. The bewildered government destroys the mainland bridge and places the islands under quarantine. Inside this cordon, the population descends into chaos, as rival factions battle over dwindling resources, buildings become fortresses, boats lash together as defensible islands, and whole neighborhoods wall off into armed camps. As order slips beyond any chance of recovery, hopelessness reigns. But not everyone accepts this fate. "...I was pulled in right from the beginning. ...The writing is polished and it flows with an unusual fluidity and crispness. ...The theme of survival is central in this narrative and while it features scenes that are crafted for fans of horror, I was so taken by the keen exploration of human nature. The characters are real, the pacing is fast, and the plot is a twisty one." ~ Readers' Favorite Book Reviews, Romuald Dzemo (5 STARS) EVOLVED PUBLISHING PRESENTS the first book in the thrilling, award-winning post-apocalyptic horror thriller series, "The Holocaust Engine."

Autorenporträt
AUTHOR David Rike: I didn't grow up wanting to write. In fact, when I finished college I'd all but stopped reading. Then I took a job at a local police department as a whistle-stop on the way to some great destiny, got hurt early on and, faced with long days of much-needed bed rest, limped into a local book store, and left with an armful of novels. Two decades later and I've served that police department as an officer, supervisor and, now, investigative lieutenant, all the while bleeding the book stores dry. As for the great destiny, I simply offer this: we are never fully human until we find some outlet for our innate creative impulses. My outlet is the novel, particularly the dystopian science fiction and horror stories that resonated with me those years ago. Perhaps, one day, I'll find that something I've written has influenced another, the same as that armful of books once did for me.
