PAUL MANNERING
ZOMBIE SERIES [TANKBREAD | DEADLAND]
Just like a zombie can't run, sometimes authors can't do anything about publishing decisions made for the 'betterment' of an already published series. To straighten that, please find below past and present covers and titles for my original zombie series Tankbread, later re-titled Deadland by the publisher Permuted Press.
Tankbread | Deadland (I)
ISBN-13 978-1618681799
​
Ten years ago humanity lost the war for survival. Now intelligent zombies rule the world. Feeding the undead of a steady diet of cloned people called Tankbread, the survivors live in a dangerous world on the brink of final extinction. One outlaw courier must go on a journey through the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Australia. Fighting his way into the very heart of the apocalypse in the desperate search for a way to save the last humans and destroy the undead threat. His only companion is a girl with an extraordinary secret. Her name is Else, and she's Tankbread.
'Tankbread is a guts and glory joyride into very dark territory. Very nasty and lots of fun!'
Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of DEAD OF NIGHT and DUST & DECAY.
'Mannering's take on the post-zombie apocalypse is scarifyingly real. Baked dog while you take orders from your zombie master anyone? Sink your teeth into an Australia where the zombies are in charge - you won't be disappointed.' Rocky Wood, author of STEPHEN KING: A LITERARY COMPANION and HORRORS! GREAT STORIES OF FEAR AND THEIR CREATORS
