About this eBook

First in the post-apocalyptic series from the Bram Stoker Award-winning author who “writes zombies like he's been gunning them down all of his life” (Weston Ochse, author of A Hole in the World).

A Handful of Survivors

For thirty years, they have avoided the outbreak of walking death that has consumed America's heartland. They have secured a small compound near the ruins of Little Rock, Arkansas. Isolated from the world. Immune to the horror. Blissfully unaware of what lies outside in the region known as the “Dead Lands.” Until now . . .

A New Generation of Explorers

Led by a military vet who's seen better days, the inexperienced offspring of the original survivors form a small expedition to explore the wastelands around them. A biologist, an anthropologist, a cartographer, a salvage expert—all are hoping to build a new future from the rubble in the Dead Lands. Until all hell breaks loose . . .

A Land of Death

The infected are still out there. Stalking. Feeding. Spreading like a virus. Wild animals roam the countryside, hunting prey. Small pockets of humanity hide in the shadows: some scared, some mad, all dangerous. This is the New World. If the explorers want it, they'll have to take it. Dead or alive . . .

The author has a good story going making a fast intertaining read. You dont really get to know the charecters of the book as well as some books so you cant really care as much for them if they die. You do however enjoy the tail.

Joe McKinney is an artist. He's my second favorite. If he's as good as a cop as he's a writer , I'd would want him protecting me & my familia.
