BRENDA’S LITERARY WORK
TITLE: ZEEKA CHRONICLES: REVENGE OF ZEEKA
WRITTEN BY: BRENDA MOHAMMED
BOOK DESCRIPTION: The five-episode futuristic sci-fi
thriller written by Author Brenda Mohammed, who has published 64 books, is set in
2036 on an imaginary tourist island paradise off the coast of South America,
popular for posh beaches and annual Carnival celebrations. Classic sci-fi
elements, dark fantasy, and high-tech weapons blend with Caribbean folklore and
lifestyle, creating a visually stunning world of sun-kissed shores where palm
trees sway and steel drums echo.
In this character-driven novel, drama and intrigue delve deep into the psychological complexities of the Antagonist, Chief of Police Bill Grady [ Master Zeeka], and Dr. Steven Sharpe, the Protagonist, their families, and acquaintances.
Bill Grady [Master Zeeka] is the Chief of Police on the island of Gosh, and he has been harbouring grief and rage for many years. Grady kidnapped Steven Sharpe, the seven-year-old son of his former lover who jilted him, leaving him hurt and betrayed. He changed the boy’s name to Jason Stephens, threatened to kill his family if he tried to escape, sent him to medical school, and used him to create a vaccine to bring back to life the dead babies who died after women infected with the zika virus gave birth at the Gosh Hospital.
Grady used the vaccine to create programmable killer zombies in a revenge plot against Gosh Hospital, where his ex-lover and her husband used to work. Added to that, his wife, who was infected with the virus, died in childbirth, and his biological son was born deformed in that hospital.
Grady known as Master Zeeka to his 51 programmable killer zombies, unleashes chaos and death on spectators at a Carnival event on the tourist haven of Gosh Island.
The local police, Detective Wildy, and Dr. Steven Sharpe,
kidnapped by Zeeka as a child, must hunt down Master Zeeka before he kills
again.
Dr. Jason Stephens’ real name is Dr. Steven Sharpe. When he is suspected of being Master Zeeka, he breaks his engagement with Dr. Janet Jones and disappears, leaving a note to forget him. Janet marries Steven’s brother, Dr.Raynor Sharpe.
Steven filled with guilt and shame, proves his innocence and real identity and reunites with his brother, Raynor. He assists the police in hunting down Zeeka, regains his job at Gosh Hospital, marries Janet’s sister, Mandy, invents many miracle cures, and becomes the hero on the island of Gosh.
In episode 1, 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 killer zombies disguised as a sailor band, and controlled by a transponder by Master Zeeka, unleash weapons at a Carnival event. One hundred and twenty-five people die, seventy-five are maimed for life, and all the 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 triangle between Dr. Jason Stephens, Dr. Raynor Sharpe, and Dr. Janet Jones.
In episode 2, 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 his identity as Dr. Steven Sharpe—Raynor’s brother—and about his kidnapping by Zeeka [ Grady] forty years before.
Police find evidence of nine flesh-eating zombies in Grady’s basement and start a manhunt for Zeeka and the nine zombies.
In episode 3, 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 and calls the police.
They slap Grady with more than 200 charges, to which he confesses. He asks to see Steven and tells him why he kidnapped him.
He begs Steven for forgiveness after telling him he thought Steven was his son. Steven does not believe him and refuses. Grady commits suicide in prison. The funeral home gives Steven Grady’s ashes. The police shrink zombies and demolish them with high-tech weapons found in Grady’s bag.
In the fourth episode, a strong wind throws down Zeeka’s urn. it falls and breaks into pieces, the ashes scatter in Steven’s study, and Zeeka’s ghost appears to Steven. The ghost begs Steven for forgiveness, and he again refuses. However, the ghost saves Steven and his wife, Mandy, from dangerous criminals, and Steven forgives Zeeka, who leaves the world in peace.
In episode 5, Number Nine reappears and is alive. Mandy's robot helper, Eve, encounters him in the backyard. He 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. This literary piece is truly a masterpiece; the storyline is captivating and lets the readers delve more into the mystery. It enthralls the curiosity up until the end. Madame Brenda Mohammed definitely created a literary masterpiece that will last a lifetime.

My first attempt to venture into cinematic stories seemed hopeful.
I entered the contest with cinebooks.com and won more than the 1000 votes required to make the first series in my five-series sci-fi thriller Zeeka Chronicles into a Cinebook.
Things were going fine until it was time to sign the contract. I was told that because Trinidad and Tobago was not a member of the European Union they could not proceed.
I heard nothing further from them, but my book is still listed as one of their projects and I asked for it to be removed.
In August 2022, I decided to get a screenplay written for my five-series sci-fi thriller. I arranged with a screenwriter from Stage 32, but he got into an accident and could not do it. I then asked the daughter of a close friend but she got a new job and could not find the time. I did a crash course and wrote the screenplay myself.
I submitted pitches for both the pilot and series.
Here are both the positive and negative responses.
POSITIVE
AND NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR PITCHES FOR SCI-FI THRILLER – SEPT. 2024
ZEEKA
AND THE ZOMBIES – SERIES ONE - PILOT PITCH
CATALINA
RAMIREZ;
POSITIVE: I
like how the story keeps you interested and makes you want to keep reading it.
I also like how you combine futuristic technology with elements of zombie
horror.
NEGATIVE: clarity is required with high-tech settings
and Zeeka’s motivation.
JODIE
PLATT
POSITIVE: Hi,
thank you for sharing this pitch with me. I like that the theme is good
triumphing over evil after an event that happened 20 years before. The setting
in South America, with the backdrop of Carnival, could make this visually
attractive. It is also interesting that this is based on reality with the Zika
virus as the inciting incident.
NEGATIVE:
Clarity is required with set- up of the series and clarity with Steven Sharpe
and Grady.
JONNY
GUTMAN
ZEEKA CHRONICLES – Five-series sci-fi thriller
POSITIVE: This was definitely one of the most unique pitches I've ever read! I love that the inspiration came from a real-life crisis and that Brenda has taken it in such an imaginative direction. Like I said, this was one of the most imaginative pitches I've ever seen, but I think it's a little too ambitious for me! I wish Brenda good luck with it though because I think it would make an incredibly entertaining series!"
NEGATIVE: Too ambitious. Unclear as to how Janet and Mandy relate to the rest of the story or what were their motivations.
I am re-writing and not giving up.
Here is the blurb for the book:
GOOD TRIUMPHS OVER EVIL
