The First Stand. The Last Bastion, #1

The world is gone, replaced by a tide of the undead. Commander Jarek Solborn, a former logistics officer haunted by the downfall of civilization, is forced into the role of reluctant savior. With supplies dwindling and fast zombies closing in, Jarek must execute a strategic retreat to a dilapidated gas station, the only structure solid enough to serve as a First Stand. His team is tiny: Garrin Brask, the blunt engineer who can turn wreckage into defense, and Captain Talia Renn, the silent scout who moves like mist through the ruins.
Facing immediate waves of the relentless horde, Jarek must quickly master the brutal art of tactical evasion and command, learning that survival isn't just about reflex-it's about making the desperate, strategic choices that define humanity's last hope.
