Project Z

From the hilarious mind behind the Crimebiters series comes a new trilogy that fans of The Last Kids on Earth will love to pieces (literally). Arnold Z. Ombee has escaped a secret government lab that's developing zombies. Young, scared, and alone, he is found by the Kinders, a warmhearted couple who take him in. The Kinders decide Arnold will become part of their family. They help him disguise his undead appearance and teach him how to act like a human boy. After a lot of practice, he's ready for the ultimate test: Fifth grade!

At America's premier research lab in New Mexico, birthplace of the atomic bomb, the race is on to save humanity. Dr. Alek Spray and his team are on the verge of a breakthrough that could produce clean, unlimited energy. In the wrong hands, the same technology could become a deadly weapon and spark a new arms race. As Alek struggles to create a transformative energy source using a nuclear reaction often mistaken for cold fusion, he faces pressure from the U.S. government to apply his findings to building a weapon of mass destruction. Politicians demand that Alek develop this weapon before the country's enemies can. After a mysterious laboratory accident and the disappearance of two of the team's members, Alek joins forces with FBI Agent Gabi Stebbens. They embark on a quest to uncover who else is trying to harness this new technology - an investigation that takes them to Mexico and China, where they discover a plot of intrigue, money, and power. A rogue Chinese general is using Mexican drug-cartel money to develop a lethal beam-weapon called the Dragon's CLAW. If Alek and Gabi cannot stop this rogue alliance it will create a new arms race and may cause the doomsday clock to strike zero, and Alek's dream of changing the world by creating limitless, affordable energy will come to an end.

The zombie secret is out! Sort of... Scientists at the lab that Arnold escaped from claim they've changed their tune. Instead of creating super zombie soldiers, they just want humans and zombies to be friends. Too good to be true? Probably. But Arnold agrees to help teach other zombies everything he's learned so far about being a real human boy. But there's something that seems strange about these new "zombies" (well, stranger than usual). Arnold knows it's up to him to unearth the secret before it eats him up inside. And outside. And everywhere else.

At the American research lab known as the birthplace of nuclear weapons, a scientific breakthrough sparks a mysterious disease. Devoted to his belief in the power of science, renowned physicist Dr. Alek Spray and his team scramble for a solution to this bizarre neurological pandemic. Unfortunately, the ‘ cure' they engineer could prove deadly in the wrong hands. As Alek battles a Chinese crime syndicate bent on world domination, he realizes that the ambiguous nature of scientific advancement holds the promise of both good and evil depending on its use. Now the woman he loves is in danger and the unintended consequences and misuse of Alek' s inventions could forever alter the course of humanity. Alek and his colleagues must find the solution before it' s too late.

Life as an undead fifth grader is pretty good for Arnold. He finally feels like he can embrace both his zombie side (unlimited jellybeans!) and his regular kid side (kickbutt trampoline moves!). And now there's a new zombie in town. Azalea, Arnold's closest friend from the Territory, is living with Evan's family and ready to try out human elementary school. But when Azalea questions whether or not she wants to return to the Territory, Arnold starts having doubts, too. Should he stay-- or go?
