Fortress of the Living

Nikolay Berg is a pen name of a Russian writer working in the genre of military science fiction. The author is a great expert in firearms and a regular on arms forums. By profession, he is a doctor; during the coronavirus epidemic he is on the front line. As a writer, he became known thanks to the trilogy “Night Shift,” written in the world of Andrei Kruz’s “The Epoch of the Dead.” His books in the “popadanets” (time/realm crossover) genre are also popular. The novel “Fortress of the Living” is the first book in the “Night Shift” cycle. The zombie apocalypse that swept the world caught many off guard. Instead of a vaccine against all diseases, a deadly virus appeared on Earth that turns dead people into zombies. The army of the dead attacks the survivors, turning them into their own kind, and those survivors have to hold the line. The main hero, a doctor by profession, is among those who sheltered behind the walls of the Peter and Paul Fortress, which for a long time will become a stronghold for the people who remain alive. Details are in the audiobook.
