Plague Master Series – “PLAGUE MASTER: Sanctuary Dome” By H.E. Roulo

Our friends over at HorrorAddicts.net have a new release coming out, Plague Master: Rebel Infection. We’re part of their blog promotion tour. Since the book is the second in a series, we’re the recap portion of their jaunt. Check it out. (If you haven’t read the first book, this may entice you to want to. Sounds great!)

With the release of Plague Master: Rebel Infection, the second book in the PLAGUE MASTER Series, it is good to review where our heroes find themselves. This recap is best if you want to be reminded about what you read in book one, Plague Master: Sanctuary Dome. There are spoilers for the first book in the series, so proceed with caution.

In Plague Master: Sanctuary Dome, teenager Trevor Seth is a volunteering bait-boy. He bravely runs into houses to draw out hidden zombies. His homeworld is overrun, and anyone bitten become another of the mindless undead.

Everything changes when his friend, Kristin, is infected by blood but not bite. There’s no telling how long she has before she changes. Together, they sneak onto a ship bound for Lindley, home of the Sanctuary Dome where infected live peacefully until they change.

Meanwhile on Lindley, Samantha works with other infected to discover a cure for the diseased before they change. She is serious, despite her friend Elena’s jokes. When her brother contacts her about a secret report on the Sanctuary, she rejects the idea there may already be a cure that isn’t being shared. She hopes he is proven wrong, but he goes missing.

Alarmed, Samantha and Elena begin their search in restricted areas.

Trevor and Kristin arrive at Lindley. Kristin is sick and goes to the medical bay, leaving Trevor to convince everyone he’s infected and belongs there. Fortunately, Elena is willing to help him as long as he helps search for Samantha’s missing brother. Together, they venture outside the Sanctuary Dome. Their job is to feed the zombies, but what they find is a coordinated army willing to climb the feed lines and attack the ship until, ultimately, they break the dome.

[SPOILERS BELOW]

The zombies are under the control of one mind—Howard, the missing reporter who had stumbled onto the experimental cure and been left for dead. Except he didn’t die and is out for revenge. When his sister Samantha is murdered, there is no reasoning with him.

With zombies flooding the Sanctuary Dome, Trevor and Elena flee through underground tunnels to the medical bay. The rumored cure is real, but it takes time to make and Kristin is perilously close to changing. Defending themselves from the zombie onslaught, Trevor and Elena both end up bitten. Elena discovers she is immune and has been all along. Unfortunately, Trevor and Kristin are not. Trevor insists Kristin use the majority of the cure, while he gets splashes of it. It isn’t enough for either of them.

Kristin agrees to remain behind with Howard, the Plague Master, so Trevor can escape with the formula for the cure. Elena flies them away from the shattered dome and swarming planet as Trevor completes his change into a zombie.

Plague Master: Sanctuary Dome is the first book of the PLAGUE MASTER series. Next up in the planned trilogy is Plague Master: Rebel Infection, releasing September 2019.
