Not every creature in the ZOO is out to eat you. Some are humans who intend to stab you in the back.
Sal is hard at work trying to figure out if he can keep his crazy little company afloat, and now he wants to add more headcount?
Kennedy isn't sure what is going on inside his young and not-all-that-wise head.
Courtney is worried that the new hire Salinger wants might not be the best choice for the company-or her.
When an unexpected call comes in, Salinger's team gets changed around drastically. He and Kennedy have to scramble to figure out how to balance it again.
Can they produce the income they need or will they run out of time and end up food for the creatures in the ZOO?
Courtney is having a fight of her own, but the billionaire who is pushing her has no idea how the ZOO has stiffened Courtney's backbone.
But can Courtney handle this different type of pressure?
Salinger Jacobs is working to build his company as fast as possible. Will he make a few mistakes he can't think his way out of?
Sometimes, you find that your best relationship was the one that got away.
One bad decision. One alien jungle. One chance to survive.
Sal Jacobs failed at being an academic. Turns out, he's exceptional at not dying.
The Zoo appeared overnight in Africa-a sprawling nightmare of mutated predators, carnivorous plants, and mysteries that reshape everything scientists thought they knew. Most people in power armor last hours. Sal's lasted months, running salvage missions that would break career soldiers.
His team at Heavy Metal keeps him alive. Kennedy brings military precision and a trigger finger that never hesitates. Monroe supplies scientific insight and inherited wealth that funds their operations. Together, they're building something in the shadow of the deadliest place on Earth.
They're good at their job. Too good.
When they uncover technology that rewrites human understanding, corporate forces mobilize. Assassins in the field. Hackers in their systems. Enemies with Pentagon connections who disappear problems.
The Zoo taught him survival. These enemies are teaching him war.
Pick up your copy and enter the Zone. Will they uncover the truth buried in the jungle-or disappear like so many others?

Michael Anderle (ok, weird talking about myself in the 3rd person) (1967-Hopefully a long time from NOW) was born in Houston, Tx. A very curious child, he got into trouble - a lot. What to do with an inquisitive mind when he was grounded? Read!
Ok, done with all of that 3rd person stuff.
In the first 20 years, I mostly read Science Fiction and Fantasy. In the last 10 years, I have enjoyed Urban Fantasy and Military Fiction. With this background, I've been blessed with creating The Kurtherian Gambit series, a well-selling, and fan-loved, collection of stories.
The fans have propelled these stories beyond my wildest imagination and they should get all of the credit for sharing with friends, family, and occasionally the random person on the street. They are fantastic!
