The Hollow War
When TH-17x strikes—a virus that turns the human immune system against itself—it doesn’t just spread. It eradicates. Civilization collapses in weeks, and the world that survives is brutal, lawless, and unforgiving.
Leo Brody Drake, a former Green Beret, was never meant to survive. Betrayed by the men who once fought at his side—men who saw his morality as a threat—Leo was executed and left in the ashes of the old world. They pulled the trigger. They watched him fall. And they walked away believing he was dead.
They were wrong. Leo survived. And in the wreckage of the United States, survival hardens into something far more dangerous: vengeance. As he hunts those responsible, the truth begins to surface—about the virus, about the collapse, and about the people who stood to gain from the end of everything.
What begins as a personal reckoning spirals into something much larger and far more terrifying. TH-17x was no accident. And the deeper Leo digs, the more he realizes that some truths were buried for a reason—and uncovering them may cost him what little humanity he has left.
The Hollow War is Brodie’s debut full-length novel—a relentless, hard-hitting story that marks the beginning of a much larger world. What started as a single idea quickly grew into something deeper and more ambitious, laying the foundation for future stories set within the same dark, unforgiving landscape. With its intensity, scope, and lingering questions, The Hollow War is only the first chapter in what promises to be a powerful and expanding body of work.
