The Hatchery Compound — Chris Blake

Vintago Hawkins was just an ordinary guy. Well, he was until the Outbreak took place. When the infected began taking over the world as we know it, Vintago took action and sought refuge at a fish hatchery. Now, the Hatchery is becoming a sanctuary for more than Vintago and his family. It is quickly turning into a community, but unlike most communities, Vintago can't trust everyone. Throughout his journey he encounters other survivors; an ex-Navy SEAL, the remnants of an Army National Guard unit, and many more. Vintago will have to decide who gets to stay, and who has to go, because not everyone can be part of a fledgling empire. Vintago Hawkins is not merely a survivor, he aspires to be a leader. He wants to rebuild civilization, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to make that goal come true. He faces infected people, marauders, and enemy groups of survivors. Through it all he has a group of people to support him, advise him, and make sure that he is making wise decisions. In the end, the Hatchery Compound is his creation, and he has to make the hard choices in order to protect its residents. "Every empire has a beginning, this one is a fish hatchery."
