How long can someone outrun intelligent zombies nicknamed "Chippers," capable of learning and upgrading themselves to combat every strategy the survivors create? From mountain towns to underground secrets, it's guaranteed that not everyone will survive. Can preteen Martha handle this new world along with her divorcing family, or will the truth about who's behind it destroy what is left of them?

Michael Talbot and his crew are sailing happily along aboard their nuclear aircraft carrier, The USS Jimmy Carter, building an ideal community, saving the planet from zombies and madmen in ports far and wide and...nope. That's some other book. The gang's out to sea alright, but under the worst possible meaning of the phrase.

Wilkes is alone, struggling to survive on the island once known as Great Britain, 36 years after the zombie apocalypse devastated the world.

Through these yellowed pages, Wilkes relives the worst that life had to offer at the very end of humanity's reign.
