About Outbreak Indiana


After a long, distinguished career in law enforcement, retired cop and Marine Corps veteran Jack Raptor starts a private tactical training company, Raptor Defense Systems, in rural Indiana. Specializing in security, training, survival strategies, and high-risk extractions, Jack’s team of seasoned veterans is known for their no-nonsense approach to handling dangerous situations.
But when a mysterious viral outbreak sweeps across the state, turning ordinary people into aggressive, zombie-like creatures, Jack’s tactical expertise is put to the ultimate test. As the infection spreads rapidly, society collapses into chaos. Small towns like his become isolated battlegrounds, with the infected roaming freely and survivors scattered in fear.
Jack realizes that the government response is too slow, and the safety of his community is in his hands. With the help of his tight-knit team at Raptor Tactical, Jack begins the daunting task of creating a fortified safe haven, rescuing survivors, and fending off both the infected and the desperate, lawless groups that arise in the wake of societal breakdown.
As the situation worsens, Jack must rely on all his years of training and experience, but the stakes are higher than ever. With supplies running low and the infected growing stronger and more organized, Jack and his team race against time to protect their community, uncover the origin of the outbreak, and find a way to stop it before it’s too late.
In Outbreak Indiana, survival is a battle, and Jack Raptor is ready to lead the charge.
Read a Preview: Exclusive Excerpt
As the Black hawk came to a low hover several blocks down the road, they fast roped out the sides and onto the asphalt. The wind carried the sickly stench of rot as Jack crouched behind the charred skeleton of a pickup truck, sweat dripping down his face despite the cold. His breath came in short, ragged gasps, and his ribs ached from the bruising he’d taken in the last few weeks. Around him, his team, moved like ghosts, their faces pale, hollow, and streaked with grime. The Circle K stood a hundred feet away, its neon sign no longer flickering with light, a reminder of a world long gone. Inside, survivors were holed up, screaming for help. The infected were gathered around the front of the store, pounding on the large windows.
“On me,” Jack whispered into his radio, his voice raw but confident. He adjusted his grip on his LWRC, the familiar weight of the rifle grounding him. He could see the infected swarming the gas station, clawing at the windows and battering the doors, their growls blending into a horrifying noise.
“Copy that,” Donald responded, his voice shaky but determined. He was nursing a bandaged arm, the result of a close call two days prior. Trauma was etched into his features, his once bright blue eyes now shadowed by sleepless nights and the constant weight of survival. Donald pulled his hearing protection down over his ears from his helmet, knowing that there was about to be rounds fired.

Inspiration
"I've always been fascinated how ordinary people rise to extraordinary challenges. 'Outbreak Indiana' explores what happens when those trained to protect us face an enemy they never prepared for. It's about sacrifice, brotherhood, and finding hope in the darkest circumstances."
The novel draws heavily from my admiration for the selflessness of military and law enforcement personnel who put themselves in harm's way for the greater good while balancing protecting their own families.
Outbreak Indiana is a gripping read! The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Highly recommend for action lovers!
