Gabriel (The Infected)

Gabriel (The Infected) Review



This is book two of the Infected series. Book one is available now.


Deep underground, in a secret government prison, Denis Tompkins is being held for attempted murder, in a ten by ten, all steel cell, watched twenty-four hours a day. Stripped of hope, peace and dignity.

Because he's dangerous.

An Infected monster filled with a hideous greed and the ability to make anyone he sees feel anything.

At least the guards think he's a monster. Really, it was more like a series of mistakes, compounded by the fact that he's not really a people person. It could happen to anyone, right?

So when he's given a chance at a real life again, by the man he tried to kill, he jumps at it.

The rules are simple.

Either he changes and becomes a better man, or he dies.

Make it or not, it's more of a chance than he started life with.

Now he just has to help prevent riots all over the country, learn to be more pleasant, and take down the biggest monster he's ever met.

The man who turned him into what he is.






Thanks for reading.

P.S. Power


*Book one is titled "The Infected: Proxy"


Also, this work contain adult language and situations. Discretion is advised.
