Scientists are the new rock stars. The infection has been contained for nearly three months, and the world is celebrating. But humans are still dying. Rebekah Taylor has seen it firsthand. Her husband was killed right in front of her by the very creatures that humans were told they no longer had to fear.
Rebekah is determined to find out who is responsible for the death of her husband and the obvious cover-up. Fueled with revenge, she begins to find answers that lead to one frightening conclusion. The apocalypse might be over, but the battles are just beginning.
Excerpt:
I reached across Gavin and began breaking
off fingers and slicing hands and anything I could connect with that was
attempting to gouge at Gavin. Pieces of flesh tumbled into the car.
We’d been vaccinated.
We’d be okay.
The stench of the decaying flesh filled our
small car with every crack of a bone and tear of the skin. Gavin and I were
shoving the arms, bodies, and heads back the other direction, but they kept
pushing through the small driver’s window. Gavin grabbed the bat, shoving and
poking the zombies through the window. The space was so small it was hard for
him to hit with any force.
It wouldn’t be long before they broke the
other windows. The first thump on the roof made me jump and then the second. The
metal was crunching with every step above, and I looked up to see the roof
dipping in places.
The moans grew louder as more arms pushed
through the opening, scraping and digging at our flesh. Fingers with calloused
skin grazed my face, poking at my eyes and scraping my cheeks, but they would
fall from my face almost instantly in search of Gavin. Why Gavin?
Gavin propelled the bat into the crowd with
such velocity that he managed to run it through the stomach of one of the
beasts, spreading the group out momentarily. The zombie collapsed, but the
swarm returned, descending on us again.
I jabbed the knife directly into the neck of
the most insistent intruder and pulled it out, severing the head from the neck.
The head toppled into the car as the body slumped outside against the door.
There was a brief hesitation as they stepped back, and I grabbed the ADD,
removing the pin and flipping the lever. I threw the ADD out the window, but it
bounced against an undead girl in the back of the crowd. It dropped to the
ground with a thud. My heart sank with the realization the zombies wouldn’t be
running anywhere.
Broop-Broop-Broop
Maybe I was wrong.
Once the ADD sounded, the zombies peeled
away from our car and turned toward the device, but there wasn’t enough distance
to open the door or escape through the window. They’d get us in a heartbeat.
The deafening sound made it hard to think. I watched as each zombie turned back
toward the car and shoved their arms back at us. A set of hands latched onto
Gavin’s neck, and I slashed clear through the zombie’s wrists—bone and all—,
stopping only because the blade encountered the softness of Gavin’s throat.
“They’re not going to stop until they get
what they want,” he whispered, punching back at the beasts.
