The Zombie Proof Fence Tony Thomas

A Sydney man working late at night watches news stories detailing uncontrolled violence around the globe. He panics and rushes out to buy supplies. Later, his fears seem justified as news of a pandemic causing the violence is broadcast. Can he stay safe and protected within his own home?

A group of Australian business people in Singapore return to their hotel to find news of the global pandemic. All flights are cancelled. How can they protect themselves? Can they get back to Australia?

A young family decides to make a run for it from Sydney to a small town on the far South Coast. Can they get out of Sydney before it's too late? Even if they do, will they be able to travel further?

An American businessman on a flight to Sydney learns of the pandemic as the flight lands. His teenage son is home alone in Minnesota. He is caught up in quarantine detention. How can he keep his son safe and protect himself?

As the day progresses, stories and rumors abound. What is the truth? Can the politicians and media be trusted, or are they lying to protect themselves? Most horrifying of all, is this really a zombie apocalypse?

The Zombie Proof Fence tells of the accelerated collapse of the world as we know it. It is told from an Australian perspective, where the idea of fencing off problems has been a reality for dingoes and rabbits and can now be applied to people. It shows the confusion as governments and mass media are willing to ruthlessly hide the truth and the inevitability that all will be revealed with the help of social media.
