Synopsis
When the zombie outbreak destroys civilization, billionaire Ethan Crow is betrayed by Julian Moore—the man he trusted as a brother. Stripped of his authority and abandoned on a rooftop, Ethan is torn apart by the undead. Then he wakes up before the apocalypse. Determined to change his fate, Ethan sells his corporate empire for more than seventy billion dollars and buys a remote island in the South Pacific. He transforms it into Aegis, an unstoppable sanctuary protected by underground bunkers, weapons factories, automated defenses, fighter jets, and a private navy. When the world collapses in seventy-two hours, Aegis remains untouched. At Ethan’s side are four extraordinary women: brilliant strategist Claire, deadly security commander Zara, virus expert Dr. Evelyn Shaw, and Lila, a mysterious antibody carrier the infected cannot detect. But the dead are not his only enemies. Julian returns with an army to steal the island, while a powerful floating fortress threatens to destroy everything Ethan has built. In his first life, Ethan died outside a locked door. This time, his enemies will be the ones begging to enter.
