I took a month off for a variety of reasons but I have started working on Book 2 again. In the meantime, though, I did curate a soundtrack for Book 1. Link to the Youtube playlist. It has tracks that fit well with the individual chapters or inspired them when I was writing. All 47 tracks correspond to a chapter in order, including the prologue and epilogue.

All of Book 1 and the progress I've made on Book 2 is now available through the site through this link: https://www.callofdutyzombies.com/story/home/ It should be compatible with PC and Mobile, and will be much easier to load and read than through the Google Doc. I'll continue trying to update both sources in the future.
-
Just wanna say before anyone starts reading Book 2, please know that there are certain plot threads that will be spoiled somewhat from Book 1 that I have added, so I recommend for the best experience reading Book 1 through first. Thanks!

This comes a little later than expected, but, I finally pushed through and finished editing Version 2 of Book 1: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jiaHzygu1JByl_oaegLmcwVchoC4BHHMCkpQY-FAPkQ/edit?usp=sharing For the list of major changes, you can check this document: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LCq_i_x7HDF8RgLQOEE10QAUqGg1-7yrpVln72DsTPQ/edit?usp=sharing I'm finally going to take a step back and leave it as is. This is the complete Book 1. And thankfully, Cold War doesn't seem to be changing much about the Aether storyline, so I'm content knowing this is pretty much the final version. Now then, on to Book 2!
-
If you've got any ideas, DM me on Discord and we'll see what's possible!
-
Thanks for all the love and support over the years I'm not planning on contacting anyone about it, but once I do have all the chapters updated and finalized I will order for some to be printed out of my own pocket and will ship to anyone that wants one. I think first I might want to look into commissioning some art for a cover. If anyone artists reading are interested I'd be happy to talk it through.
-
You're good to start. I'm at Chapter 14 right now in edits, and am doing about 2 a day. I imagine you won't be through with the first 13 by the time I'm done completely. Also, feels good man.

In Nevada, the cactuses are tall And the Eye of Providence sees all So don’t get it twisted Their demands are listed From the Shadows, they watch you crawl - J "B" Chapter 45: Relentless Epilogue: Rebirth Well everyone, it's been 4 years. And after numerous rewrites, major life events, entire new games, and new depths of zombies lore, I can say we've reached the end of the line for Book 1 of this project: Ascend From Darkness. I'm not quite 100% finished as I am still going through and updating chapters for V2 of the book. The new link for V2 of the book can be found here. So far I've updated chapters 1-14 and foresee finishing updates by the release of Cold War. If you've already started reading the old version, and want to be up to date on what is changing, you can follow along here. Here's to the future of this story. Let's see where Cold War takes us, and we'll be right back after these messages...

So concurrent with the final 8 chapters, I'm going to be working on a V2 of Book 1 to make little tweaks that I think fit better in canon, fix mistakes, remove plot threads that are unnecessary, and just make general improvements. This is gonna be needed before I can put this book out there as a more final product since I started on this version of the book all the way back in 2017 and my writing style and ideas have changed since then with many discussions and everything we've learned in Black Ops 4. For anyone reading this that has read earlier chapters and noticed something that doesn't seem right or could be improved, let me know so I can add it to the change list. If something isn't explained enough or confusing that's very important. For right now, here are changes I plan on making, in case someone starts/started reading before V2 is done: - Removing instances of Richtofen referring to the Shadowman as "My Lord". That was reactionary to Blood of the Dead, but I think their relationship is different from the Warden's. - Adding more references to Maxis' Vril experiments and better explaining what that's all about. - Making sure the zombies' eyes are always yellow. - Adding evidence of the Illuminati to Shangri-La, giving Richtofen more reason to be angry with them and leave, for not sharing their knowledge with him. Stuff like the Illuminati writing on the gongs. - Changing the idea that Richtofen came up with teleporter technology. The Keepers were the original inventors, and Monty seems to have influenced Maxis' interest in it. - Adding instances to suggest Maxis has knowledge of Keepers in some capacity. - Adding Keeper stuff back to Der Eisendrache. I originally left it out believing it to be limited to fractures, but I've changed stances. - Mentioning "The Genesis Code" early on, something Maxis has interest in. - Making sure Griffin Station is not given that name until Group 935 occupies Griffin Castle. - Adding a mention when Richtofen returns to Der Riese from Shangri-La how he found an ancient teleporter there. This is the same one we see used in the Classified opening cutscene.

I've also been searching for an audio version of the SoE conversations to make transcripts but can never seem to find them. I've found all the ones after SoE on Talam's channel, but other than that I can't find SoE. The COD wiki has transcripts for them but I can't verify how accurate they are without the audio.
