When a rushed H1N1 vaccine hits the public during a widespread outbreak, the cure becomes far worse than the disease. Victims convulse, collapse, die-then rise again with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Now, the dead walk, society crumbles overnight, and America becomes a blood-soaked wasteland. Michael Talbot, former-Marine and self-proclaimed survivalist, never expected to use his doomsday prepping for real. But when the virus hits home, Mike must do everything in his power to protect his family and a ragtag group of survivors. With bullets, brains, and biting sarcasm, he faces a world gone mad-fighting off both the undead and his own slow slide into insanity. But these aren't your average zombies. They're evolving. Organizing. Something darker is guiding them. A mysterious boy who is more than he seems may hold the key, and a terrifying zombie queen is building an army. In the fortress town of Little Turtle, Mike and what's left of civilization prepare for a final stand.
