Volume Two of the Tales from the Zombie Apocalypse series.<\/p>\n<p>About TS Alan&#8217;s story:<\/p>\n<h4>&#8220;Yakuza Dead&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>Originally intended to be part of my upcoming novel\u00a0<em>World War Dead<\/em>, the dark humor of the dialog and character situations did not fit the overall theme. Tannhauser Press was kind enough to include it in their anthology as a stand alone short story .<\/p>\n<p>Two rival yakuza clans and a horde of the living dead are the center point of this gruesome, action packed tale of revenge and escape, which is mainly set in a ten-story hotel on the outskirts of Tokyo.<\/p>\n<p>Yakuza boss Kudo is out for revenge over the betrayal of his former assistant chief, who stole a cure to a zombie virus and broke ranks and formed his own organization. When Kudo makes a daring midnight raid on Tohno headquarters to retrieve the cure, a shootout follows and Tohno and his group are captured. Before Kudo Clan can execute their captives and get back the cure, they are confronted with Tokyo being bombed and the dead rising.<\/p>\n<p>Forced to forge an uneasy alliance, Tohno must help his rival get to the lobby in order to survive. But Boss Tohno has no intention of allowing his adversaries to escape, and plots to strike back before they reach ground level.<\/p>\n<h5><u>Snippet<\/u>:<\/h5>\n<p>As the chaos in the penthouse suite was happening, Haruto and Yuuta returned to the reception area, Yuuta walking towards the elevator.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559731&quot;:360,&quot;335559740&quot;:360}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u201cYuuta.
