REVIEWERS COMPARISON: Twilight Zone, Frankenstein, Shakespeare’s Plays.
WHY THIS STORY: The fictional futuristic sci-fi thriller is set in 2036 on an imaginary island, off the coast of South America, well-known for fabulous beaches, resorts, and annual Carnival celebrations. The story is purely the author's imagination, inspired by the zika virus in 2016. Zombies and robots take centre stage and Good triumphs over Evil.
Zeeka and the Zombies is series one in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Dr. Raynor Sharpe sees zombies marching outside his beachfront home and they suddenly disappear. A zombie named Number Nine goes to Gosh Hospital to warn Dr. Brown about an impending massacre by his Master Zeeka. In February 2036, 51 programmable killer zombies disguised as a sailor band, unleash weapons at a Carnival event. One hundred and twenty-five people die, seventy-five are maimed for life, and all zombies disintegrate into ash. Police are not clear if Number Nine died in the shoot-out. A manhunt begins for Master Zeeka. Intertwined in this episode is a love story between Dr. Raynor Sharpe and Dr. Janet Jones who marry.
Zeeka's Child is series two in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Police search for Master Zeeka. They are searching for Dr. Jason Stephens but chasing the wrong suspect. Detective Jack Wildy discovers a flash drive revealing the face of the real perpetrator, Chief of Police Bill Grady. Dr. Jason Stephens gives another flash drive to Janet to deliver to Dr, Raynor Sharpe, confirming Wildy’s discovery, and about the child Master Zeeka [ Grady] kidnapped forty years ago. Grady disappears and the police start a manhunt for him. Raynor and Steven unite as brothers.
Zeeka Returns is the third series in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Zeeka [ Grady] abandons his zombies in the forest and goes to the home of Dr. Raynor Sharpe to look for Steven Sharpe. Janet’s helper, Miranda, a beautiful robot, uses her taekwondo skills to capture Zeeka when she sees him holding a gun. The police shrink zombies and demolish them with high-tech weapons found in Grady’s bag. They slap Grady with more than 200 charges and he confesses. He asks to see Steven to beg forgiveness for kidnapping him as a child and tries to explain why he did so. Steven refuses to forgive him and Zeeka commits suicide.
Zeeka's Ghost is the fourth series in the five-series sci-fi thriller. A strong wind throws down Zeeka’s urn and it falls and breaks, his ashes scatter in Steven’s study, and Zeeka’s ghost appears to Dr. Steven Sharpe whom Zeeka had kidnapped as a child. The ghost begs Steven for forgiveness and saves Mandy, Steven’s wife, from dangerous kidnappers. Steven forgives him and Zeeka leaves the world in peace.
Resurrection: Series 5 is the grand finale in the five-series sci-fi thriller. Number Nine, the zombie, who police thought was dead in the massacre at the Carnival event in February 2036 is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard, records the conversation on her security device, and plays it for Steven and Mandy. Number Nine collapses in the backyard with an epileptic fit, and Eve alerts the Gosh hospital.
Tests and records confirm he is Number Nine, he is not a zombie and is the biological son of Bill Grady – Master Zeeka, who made him grow up with zombies because he was misdiagnosed with microcephaly- a disease associated with the zika virus that infected his mother who died in childbirth 22 years ago. Police speculate that the reason Number Nine’s killer gadgets were turned off at the massacre in February 2036 was because Bill Grady did not want him to die.
Raynor helps Number Nine choose Nieman Grady as his legal name, and Steven cures him of his brain ailment, Craniosynostosis with his new invention.
Dr.Steven Sharpe is the new hero in Gosh because his miracle cures and inventions replace Carnival Tourism with Medical Tourism.
