and who’s going to care if everyone’s dead? Now, no one is safe from the juggernaut of terror that rages unchecked, and the fate of humanity hangs on questions with no answers: Who’s right, who’s wrong.

But when hunter and hunted clash, their bloody tango ignites a firestorm of fear and hatred. As all Settlers do, Tanner dismisses them as little more than savages-until he meets his match in Spewer protector Lila. Tanner Kline is a trained Sweeper, sworn to exterminate Spewers roaming the no-man’s-land surrounding his frightened community. The disease-free folk known as Settlers barricade themselves in small villages, determined to keep out the highly contagious Spewers-infected humans who cannot die from the virus but spread the seeds of death from the festering blisters that cover their bodies. and heroes are killers.Ī fatal virus-a biowarfare experiment unleashed on an unsuspecting world-has reduced the once-mighty United States to a smattering of tribes dueling for survival in the lawless wilderness. William Todd Rose reinvents the zombie story with a thrilling novella of a post-apocalyptic America where saviors are heroes.
