The Unlikely Event

By: Joshua Wright

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In the unlikely event of an emergency… hope for an unlikely hero. Bartholomew Barton didn't have a clue why the two couples he sat sandwiched between needed to be so damned amorous. He certainly hadn’t acted that way when he had been married—none of the times. Maybe the couples mistook the particularly nasty turbulence for their last moments together. If so, how right they would soon be. The contagious epidemic starts in the first class cabin of the 747 with a cantankerous Mr. Patterson Zorn. An acrimonious husband, Patterson berates his wife as his cough deteriorates into a deathly state, whereupon the infected is reduced to his most basic necessity: hunger. Patterson yearns for protein, and soon learns to enjoy his wife in an entirely new way. In this terrifying novel, author Joshua Wright pens a tightly wound, unapologetic, zombie-inspired horror story. Lurid descriptions of carnage aboard the chaos of a doomed 747 mix with memories from complex characters as they face their penultimate moments. The Unlikely Event is the first short novel of a planned pentalogy telling the story of a condemned planet, and the heroes who will try in vain to save her.
