    About this ebook

    British Zombie Breakout Part 2: Escape From Kilkorne. Zombies are still on the rampage, killing and infecting anyone in their path. A close-knit band of ten uninfected fugitives must prove they are clean by escaping the stricken village where they are trapped by the army. A quarantine cordon surrounds the whole area, with an entire army camp between the village and freedom.

    What chance of survival do the fugitives have while zombies are still at large in the English countryside and when a corrupt politician and the Chief Scientist at the Breathdeep Biological Research Facility are intent on their capture, dead or alive? Who will prove to be the more ingenious, the authorities, the fugitives or the zombies?

    Short story of 18,500 words in twenty-six chapters.

    Peter Salisbury

    I am a life-long fan of science fiction, and so when I had an idea for my first story, I wasn't surprised that it was in that genre. The first book took me ten years to complete, but I've got a little quicker since. I am pleased to say that I now have over thirty books published in my name. What next? So far I haven't run short of ideas for new stories, so there are several projects in various stages of completion, and I hope to be publishing the next story before too long, so please subscribe to my alerts. My profile picture is a portrait of the author as a young man, painted by my daughter Charlotte Salisbury who has also contributed to several of my book covers. Professional background In the 1970s I studied Chemistry at university and then spent over thirty years in classrooms across England teaching almost anything but Chemistry, including Photography, Communications Skills, General Science, Computing, and Information and Communications Technology. In the 1990s I spent ten years writing abstracts of chemical patents. This was a most exacting process but very rewarding to be reading about the very latest inventions in the field, and the abstracts were distributed world-wide to research scientists by subscription. Articles of mine have been published in magazines and I have written assignments used for assessing Communications Skills for a major international Examination Board. After retiring early this century I began writing in earnest.

      Where, exactly, is the anger? On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 2,800 people in the UK were recorded dead from Covid-19, and yet there is precious little anger about. The national mood appears to be one of weary resignation. That these are just the way

      Chapter 1: The Minister Calls

      Deep underground in a concrete bunker, a phone rang in an untidy office. The bunker was located twenty feet beneath the surface of a fenced compound. Within the compound were several flat roofed concrete sheds sufficient for detaining and processing up to a thousand people.

      The phone was answered by a bald man in his fifties wearing a white lab coat.

      'Yes?'

      'Is that the head of Breathdeep Biological Research Facility?'

      'Professor Mason speaking,' the scientist said, putting down the scan of a terminally infected skull he'd been studying.

      'At last! This is the Minister for Home Affairs.'

      'I see. I expect you want my report on the breakout?' Albert Mason looked around his office: crowded desk, paperwork overflowing beside the computer, and a bookcase stuffed with academic papers and folders full of case-studies. There was also a wall-mounted lightbox with several x-rays of skulls clipped to it and a square of material on the floor which may once have resembled carpet. Everything in fact, except said report. Still holding the phone, he got up and pushed the door shut with his foot.

      In a stern and haughty voice, the Minister continued, 'The report, doubtless with its full catalogue of excuses, can wait. What I want right now is something I can use to reassure the Prime Minister.'

      Mason sighed and cleared his throat. He'd had no break of any sort since the alarm went off at 4 a.m. and it was now heading towards midday. 'You can reassure the PM with the fact that the army is rounding up every infectee…'

      'Infectee! Don't use your jargon with me, Mason. These are zombies plain and simple. Creatures maddened by one of the most infectious diseases ever created. Zombies created initially in your facility from an illegal deterrent weapon. One which was never meant to be used but also was never, ever to reach the population of England. Zombies, which, although once human beings, have been transformed by your vile disease into psychopathic monsters intent on murder and contamination of anyone they can get their hands on!'

      Mason waited until he thought the minister had reached the end of his tirade. 'As I was saying, Minister, the army has been deployed under my direction. The zombies …'

      'All escaped from your supposedly secure research facility last night. Where is it they've gone to this time?'

      'Instead of heading inland like before, they went straight to the nearest fishing village, a place called Kilkorne.'

      'That's something of a blessing, I assume. How many innocent people have they slaughtered so far?'

      'You may further reassure the Prime Minister that most of the occupants of the village were working, either in towns some distance away, or had left two days ago with the fishing fleet. We have made contact with all vessels in the fleet and they are to remain at sea until further notice.'

      'So, we know at least that they were not contaminated. What damage was done in the village?'

      'The less reassuring aspect is that the infec… er, the zombies rampaged through the school on the way through the village to get to the harbour. However, in the last hour I've received direct communication that they have been surrounded by the army and either killed or captured, together with any remaining villagers.'

      'Children! Can you imagine what the media are going to do with this?'

      'We found only one child who was actually injured, none infected, we think.'

      'Are all the other civilians accounted for?'

      'Unfortunately not.'

      'What? You had better not be about to tell me that the country is to be subjected to the scale of terror your 'Facility' dumped in our laps last time!'

      Professor Mason sank down into the chair behind his desk. He decided against reminding the Minister that it was his ambitious young predecessor who had made the zombie weapon. For the next forty seconds he held the phone away from his ear as the Minister for Home Affairs gave vent to his anger. Mason occupied himself meanwhile by confirming in his own mind that the population of southern England had been so depleted in the first disaster that there simply were insufficient numbers of people left to propagate the sort of infection which swept across the area last time. Nevertheless, he realised that he would have to ensure
