“This is to zombies what
Anne Rice
was to vampires, plain and simple. It's a revolution. I like this
better than The
Walking Dead.”—Dread
Central
Katie
is driving to work one beautiful day when a dead man jumps into
her car and
tries to eat her. That
same morning,
Jenni opens a bedroom door to find her husband devouring their
toddler
son.
Fate puts Jenni and Katie—total
strangers—together in a
pickup, fleeing the suddenly zombie-filled streets of the Texas
city in which
they live. Before the
sun has set, they
have become more than just friends and allies—they are bonded as
tightly as any
two people who have been to war together.
During
their cross-Texas odyssey to find and rescue Jenni’s oldest son,
Jenni
discovers the joy of watching a zombie’s head explode when she
shoots its
brains out. Katie learns
that she’s a
terrific tactician—and a pretty good shot.
A chance encounter puts them on the
road to an isolated,
fortified town, besieged by zombies, where fewer than one
hundred people cling to
the shreds of civilization.
It looks like the end of the world. But Katie and Jenni and
many others will do
whatever they have to to stay alive.
Run, fight, pick each other up when they stumble, fall in
love . . .
anything is possible at the end of the world.
