{"product_id":"2940148580669","title":"Blood Soaked and Invaded (Blood Soaked Book 2)","description":"Zombies were bad enough, but now we're being invaded from all sides. Up to our necks in blood, body parts, and unanswerable questions...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e...As soon as the realization hit me, I lost my cool. I curled into the fetal position in a pile of blood, offal, and body parts, and froze there. What in the Hell was I becoming that killing was entertaining and satisfying? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI don’t know how long I was on my side in the remains of my opponents, but the mess was coagulating and getting cold... to say nothing of the smell of sliced-open bowels. There were periodic noises suggesting violence around and about where I was glued to the ground by noxious goop, but I couldn’t even raise my face to take a look around. My brain spun around and around, propelled by unanswered questions and abject horror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe person I thought I was—a guy who does what he has to do when the chips are down—had been replaced by someone I didn’t know and it made me terribly afraid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Frank.” Bajali’s voice came from behind me after a period of no screams, gunshots, epithets or scrambling feet. “Would you like me to help you get up?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“What have you done to us?” I asked him that because they were the only words I had.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“I made us able to survive a world like this one.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Did you think about what it would cost us?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“No, my friend, I only thought to keep everyone alive. I had no time to debate morality.”...\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e…“I’m not human,” I asked, “am I?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“No, Frank. None of us are.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Am I still me?”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis breath caught, and I felt the words moving around in his mind, stirring up a miasma of emotions before he said, “I am sorry. I do not know.”","brand":"Permuted Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47084305187056,"sku":"2940148580669","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940148580669_p0.jpg?v=1763705266","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940148580669","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
