Dead Lockdown J David Ross

Star City, Arkansas: Armed with fragments from an alien world, former astronaut Jim Delaura tours American schools attempting to spark an interest of science in the minds of the country's students. With the help of Stephen Bradley - a ten-year-old Star City student; a chain reaction of events is set in motion that could lead to a global pandemic eclipsing the bubonic plague. Bradey, Arkansas: Wrongfully convicted former United States Marine, David "Roamin" Roth sits in a maximum-security penitentiary for the rest of his life. His day-to-day struggle takes a turn for the worse when he steps on the toes of the leader of a white supremacist group. After being placed in protective custody for safety- not necessarily his own- Roamin notices that things are not as they should be. Days are spent in lockdown and he has not seen a soul. Shrill shrieks fill the air moments before the only officer he has seen in days tumbles down a flight of stairs. Those who have survived must band together to face the hunger of an extraterrestrial evil that kills at will, that is if they do not kill each other first. Warning! May be too intense for younger readers.
