Publisher Description

And the dead shall rise...

Two hellish years. That's how long it's been since the hurricanes flooded the Gulf Coast, and the dead rose up from the ruins. The cities were quarantined; the infected, contained. Any unlucky survivors were left to fend for themselves. A feast for the dead.

And the living shall gather...

One boatload of refugees manages to make it out alive—but one passenger carries the virus. Within weeks, the zombie epidemic spreads across the globe. Now, retired U.S. Marshal Ed Moore must lead a group of strangers to safety, searching for sanctuary from the dead. A last chance for the living.

Let the battle begin.

In the North Dakota grasslands, bands of survivors converge upon a single outpost. Run by a self-appointed preacher of fierce conviction—and frightening beliefs—it may be humanity's only hope. But Ed Moore and the others refuse to enter a suicide pact. They'd rather stand and fight in the final battle against the zombies. An apocalypse of the dead.

"really enjoyed this one. Some familiar scenes- Mad Max's thunderdome and the Jonestown massacre with zombies to deal with. Where the first book was first person & all in one locale, this one follows several groups, bringing them all together for a rousing big finish. And still plenty of room for sequels."

    " I liked the merging plots in this one. There were certainly parts I could see coming, but the book was written in a way where I still wanted to keep reading to see exactly how it played out. "

    " This seemed like a cheap imitation of The Stand: the epic journey, the writing telling the people where to go, the idolised nasty character..... "

    " One of the best zombie books I have read in a long time. Great storyline, great characters and above all very fast moving. I could not put this one down. Excellent book and the best one in the Dead City series. Don't bother reading the 1st and 3rd books - they are bad, bad... "

    " Excellent sequel. While the book did not continue the story of the main character from the first book that was fine as the story is about the outbreak, not the single cop, and I found the quick chapters moving from character or groups of characters to be very fast paced - starting book three now. "

    " Definitely got into this one more than the 1st. Nothing bad about the 1st just that I felt this had a more grown up feel about it and the characters very believable. Looking forward to April 2011 for the next one ! "

    " On page 50. Solid, Joe really knows how to envision the spread. Though he has a dark view of the initial government containment plans. Yeesh, makes me distrust them even more.Several separate story lines, some stereotypical but nicely done overall. "
