Rise Of The Necrotics: Books 1-4
(2018)(A book in the Rise Of The Necrotics series)
An omnibus of novels by Bradford Bates
This is the first four episodes of the Rise Of The Necrotics Series in one bundle.
Episode 1, Game Night:
Max was looking for a little R&R after his team's last mission and was excited to get the chance to head back to Phoenix. It wasn't every day he got the chance to relax in his hometown. The only bad news was Max was on call, and couldn't let anyone know he was back home. To ease the sting Director Chen secured Max a courtside seat for the Sun's game, and Max couldn't wait to watch their first number one pick dominate the competition. Unfortunately, as it seemed with most good things in life his night was cut short when his partner called about a mission. At least this time he wouldn't have to be on a plane for sixteen hours, the job was in Phoenix.
Not that Max ever wanted to do his kind of work at home. It was hard to believe that The Hilltop Initiative would have found a biological weapons lab states side. Most of the time he was shuttled off to some third world country, The kind of place where money could secure you the privacy it took to build a bio-weapon undetected. The Hilltop didn't make mistakes when it came to intelligence, so it looked like his mini vacation was over before it even began.
Episode 2, Outbreak:
Max wasn't exactly thrilled with how his night had gone so far. Ramirez had been shot, and his partner Gordon had been bitten by one of those things. The black lines creeping from the wound on his partner's forearm didn't bode well for his chances of making it out of this alive, but there was always a chance. Max was determined to make damned sure if there was a miracle to be had, Gordon was going to get it.
Going back to the creepy house with an underground lab wasn't high on Max's list of priorities, but staying away wasn't in the cards. All he could hope for now was that the men he left in charge followed his instructions. As long as the basement door remained closed everything would be just fine.
If there was one thing Max had learned while working with Gordon it was that nothing was ever easy. Max was pretty sure tonight would be no exception.
Episode 3, Trapped
Just when you thought you'd done enough to earn a rest and a hot shower, the alarm had to sound. Some nights just never got any better, and this night was no exception for Max. Nothing said awkward at the next office Christmas party like giving the ok to slice and dice your partner before hopping on the elevator to kill another member of your team.
No one was going to remember Max did it to save lives; the team would only be able to blame him for the ones he helped to take. It wasn't like he felt overjoyed about what he had to do, but the deck was stacked against him now, and Max had to start looking out for number one. That and he needed a way out of this damn building. Max had the feeling Ramirez was only going to be the first in a long list of things going wrong at St Luke's Hospital.
Episode 4, Out Of The Bag:
Holly's escape chopper had gone down, and Max had a decision to make. Was it worth the risk going after Holly knowing she might already be dead, or should he head directly for his parents' house? Whatever happened, Max knew his family was the most important thing, but Holly might be his golden ticket if they needed to buy their way out of the hot zone. With the decision made, Max started running all the while mumbling a silent prayer that he made the right choice.
