Checkmate (Volume 1)

A gory apocalyptic tale of sorts, CHECKMATE delivers what will become the gold standard of character development  books to date. Could the decisions made by the characters also be those related to our own fate? Readers, beware! CAN MARK SAVE HIS KIDS AND CO-WORKERS FROM AN EMERALD GREEN WORLD? Beginning in present day Copenhagen and ending at Coffins Beach Gloucester, Massachusetts. CHECKMATE by Mark Kwiatkowski starts with a pet dying; reveal-ing Jekyll and Hyde like Caroline, the central character... who takes a darkened path... spurring on a virus to destroy life as we know it out of misplaced revenge. What humanity does not count on is Hans, now destined to defend his wife. More than mere survival among a terrified new existence filled with emerald green "half-souls," CHECKMATE examines the many faces and characters we encounter daily, not quite knowing their deepest longings and how far they will go to survive.
