When a wealthy man with an incurable brain tumor spends millions to have himself frozen in cryogenic stasis until a cure can be found, he gets more than he bargained for. Unbeknownst to him, sixteen years into his cryo-sleep the cryogenics company "Eternal Slumber" secretly decides to substitute a vital chemical used in the freezing process with a cheap and untested alternative to lower the company's overhead. This decision ends up killing the first patient they test it on, only to have her dead corpse reanimate and become a flesh hungry monster. When the lab is overcome with a spread of infection that is killing people and bringing them back as crazed cannibals, the staff is killed and the lab is left to ruin. Three months later the cryo system fails and our hero is rudely awakened prematurely into a world that has been plagued by a holocaust of the living dead.

Brian Keeping was a young closeted gay mechanic who lived in Ashbrooke, one of the most un-PC homophobic, backward little towns in mid-west America. One day the traveling circus came to town and he, along with his two best friends, thought maybe a trip to the circus would be a welcome diversion from the monotony of their sleepy little town, but to their horror everything went terribly wrong. It seemed their sleepy little towns dark history was about to come back to haunt them as a result of a heinous crime that had been committed sixty years earlier. The zealous pastor and self appointed moral leader of Ashbrooke, Harry Farwell, coaxed his congregation to rise up and run the "sinful" Fink and Zimner Freak Show and Circus out of town. Instead they ended up putting it to the torch and condemning the circus and it's performers to a horrible fiery death. All but one that was... the sole survivor, the circus' fortune teller Madame Zadora, was in possession of a mysterious tonic she acquired from her motherland Romania, which had the potential to bring upon the town, a horrible curse of the UNDEAD. Now the new circus has come to town and all hell is about to break loose, in more ways than one. This Zombie fest of the highest order takes the genre to places it's never been before and we know you will be DYING to read it

This Primer describes the fundamental science underlying the development of processes for the manufacture of Fine Chemicals, such as pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Understanding the scientific bases which underlie these chemical processes is vital in the development of more efficient and environmentally friendly processes in the future. Yet this is the only text in the field which specifically covers this important topic. The book outlines both the strategies employed in process development and also the chemical and chemical engineering concepts involved.
