Teaser Tuesday: An excerpt

For a Teaser Tuesday, I thought I would include a small excerpt from my upcoming novel: Operation: Containment.


     At last, he seemed to be within twenty yards inside the containment field. He had been lucky, so far, and he was afraid that at any moment his luck would run out. He sat down the bomb and simultaneously turned to scope the area. A low growl behind him caused him to startle, and as he did, he accidentally depressed the red button.
     Five minutes. That’s all the time that he had to make his way out, and now there was a zombie soldier standing face to face with him. He backed up and fell flat onto the forest floor. From his seated position, he raised the gun and pulled the trigger. The soldier fell face first onto the ground.
     Zane scrambled quickly to his feet. Four minutes. I have four minutes. He jumped over the dead soldier and raced back across the same steps he had taken to get there. Time was clicking away.
     Three more zombies, drawn to the sound of the gun was running toward him. He fired off three more shots. Direct shots to the forehead. The soldiers sank down on their knees, and then flat on the ground as he leaped over their bodies. 
     Three minutes. Run, Zane, run!
