’28 Years Later’
It’s been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.

‘Safe House’
In the aftermath of a brutal ambush on the vice president’s motorcade, six agents from the Secret Service, CIA, Department of Defense, and Homeland Security are ordered to shelter in a high-security safe house. But when communications are cut and the building goes into lockdown, they discover the real terror may be among them: The detonator signal that triggered the citywide attacks was traced to their location. Now, with armed operatives closing in and secrets unravelling, mistrust boils over into chaos. Each agent harbours classified knowledge – and potentially deadly intent. In this fast-paced thriller, no one is safe, and no one can be trusted.
