More about the book

In this new installment of a bestselling series, Tom Smith finds himself transformed from a high-ranking director at the Bank of the Americas to a desperate refugee amid the chaos of a zombie-infested world. After witnessing New York City engulfed in flames and chaos, his plans to save the city and find a cure for the tailored rabies virus have crumbled. Now, he and a group of survivors have managed to escape to a safe house in coastal Virginia, but their journey is far from over. With a goal of reaching one of the bank's evacuation camps in the Cumberland Valley, Tom must lead his eclectic team, which includes middle-schoolers, through hundreds of miles of perilous terrain filled with infected humans and lawless marauders. As they navigate the dangers of burnt-out towns and relentless mobs, Tom feels a sense of determination, yet he knows that threats lurk around every corner. Without the resources and mercenaries he once relied on, he must confront cunning adversaries and a sociopathic foe, all while contemplating the daunting task of rebuilding civilization if they succeed.
