Fear grips London as dozens of clubbers die after taking a sinister new drug. But that’s only the beginning. 48 hours later, the dead clubbers wake up – and it’s open season on the living, who are butchered for their blood. Soon, London gives a name to its terror: Vampires. Jake Lawton, bitter and betrayed after the Iraq War, finds himself fighting another battle – against the growing army of immortal hunters and their human cohorts. Lawton joins forces with the journalist who brought about his downfall and the dealer tricked into distributing the drug. And together they take on the spineless authorities, the ruthless cohorts, and the hungry dead. But the vampire plague unleashed in London is nothing to what lurks beneath the streets – Waiting to be fed …Waiting to be resurrected …Waiting to reign again over a city of human slaves …
The vampires’ grip on London and the rest of Britain strengthens. Their human allies force themselves into positions of power. Even Number 10 Downing Street is occupied by the Nebuchadnezzars, the undead’s mortal watchmen. But a small band of Britons continues the fight. And with Jake Lawton leading them, there is always a glimmer of hope for humanity…

And two hours after it’s killed you, your eyelids snap open again… FLU is a pacey, terrifying, frighteningly real zombie horror story.
