"Last chance to see; come the end of this month, this entire island is either going to be ash, glass, or biomass."
Synopsis:
Columba’s problems started when they somehow got caught in a time loop. No, really, they have no idea how it happened. A car crash might have been involved. Maybe. It was either that or the apocalyptic wave of death that caused the car crash in the first place. One of those two.
A few decades, a dozen loops, and countless failed plans later, they find themself desperate for any sort of help they can get in solving their plight. Enter: Riley Tanner, investigative journalist in training. Perfect. Even better, she’s the sort of person who’s right up Columba’s alley when it comes to relationships. Truly, a match made in heaven.
And then it turns out that she’s fated to die when a deadly bioweapon gets released in her hometown of NYC. And that said bioweapon is actually a zombie virus. And that she’s the sister of the guy who released the bioweapon in the first place. Except, wait, no, the guy might have been framed, because this all started when she was helping him investigate this genetics research lab, and then this secret government hit squad showed up, and, really, it’s all just a mess.
Their mission? Save their girlfriend from certain doom, crack open the conspiracy they somehow stumbled into, and find a way to escape from their temporal purgatory. Oh, yeah, and save New York City from a zombie plague. You know, on the side.
This is going to take a while.
