During a zombie outbreak, Alex starts to be immune to zombie attacks just as he develops tremors. get diagnosed with Parkinson's and go on a journey to find out if the two are related.
In a post-apocalyptic world overrun by zombies, Alex, an EMT from New York City, discovers he has a mysterious ability to repel the infected. After being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, Alex realizes his neurological condition seems to render him "invisible" to zombies.
Desperate for answers, Alex connects online with Sam, a Virginia IT expert also recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. Sam's research suggests their dopamine deficiency masks them from the infected. They begin analyzing Alex's strange immunity phenomenon and its implications.
They are soon joined by Mia, a nurse whose family battles Parkinson's. Driven to finally understand her ancestry's disease, Mia aids their efforts to synthesize a protective compound for the masses from Parkinson's biology.
After painstaking work, the team achieves success camouflaging test subjects from the infected. But further research accidentally uncovers a Parkinson's cure, creating an impossible dilemma - heal humanity of Parkinson's at the cost of zombie immunity?
Pursued by the government, Alex, Sam and Mia go on the run, debating how to ethically handle their dangerous discovery. They find moments of reprieve from the chaos through camaraderie and romance. But the answers continue eluding them even as their perseverance is tested daily.
United by disease, differences, and a shared sense of purpose, an unlikely trio races to unlock medical mysteries in time to save humankind, no matter the sacrifices required. Their bonds give them the strength to keep fighting, holding onto hope amidst ever-mounting obstacles.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s on February 20, 2018. Two weeks after my 40th birthday and 1.5 years after developing one of the first motor symptoms - resting tremors. After taking care of my grandmother who had Parkinson's disease, along with being in healthcare for 14 years, the diagnosis did not come as a surprise. What did come as a surprise was the lack of local resources for Parkinson's community in my area. For that reason, I started a podcast called Trembling EMT: My Parkinson's Journey to share my story and spread Parkinson's disease awareness. I also founded a nonprofit organization called the Gray Strong Foundation to help those with Parkinson's move forward with the disease.
Dear Author,
You worked hard to write your manuscript, and you know that expert assistance is needed to ready it for the market. But perhaps you didn’t realize that working with a publisher is no longer necessary—especially publishers who charge fees to produce your book upfront and "share" more of your revenue whenever a book is sold.
1106 Design is an author services company that has served over 4,000 authors since 2001. We offer all the editorial and design services you’d expect from a publisher, transforming your manuscript into a polished book. But here's the difference: we help you secure print-on-demand printing and worldwide distribution in YOUR name. This means you'll earn several dollars more for every book sold instead of a meager “royalty” and never lose control of your book or your book files.
We understand that your book is not just a passion project but also a potential source of income. No two books or authors are alike. That's why we'll customize a package of services tailored to your needs at affordable prices, starting at $5,555. And here's the best part: after this one-time investment, every penny of revenue from book sales is deposited directly to your bank account, never to ours first.
If this sounds like a better way to publish your book, I invite you to browse our services, design samples, no-surprises pricing, outstanding customer reviews, and educational articles at https://1106design.com. You can download a free PDF of my book, "Publish Like the Pros: A Brief Guide to Quality Self-Publishing and an Insider's Look at a Misunderstood Industry," and request a free, no-obligation consultation.
