In the twenty-first century, Earth was struck by the most lethal plague in recorded history. It laid waste to humanity, killing the infected with a ruthless efficiency. There were no countermeasures against it. No treatments or cures. Nothing stopped it.
The plague killed. Then it brought something back. Something not human, something not living.
But something not truly dead.
Here is a collection of stories set in a world where the last living humans fight for survival against an implacable enemy, one that knows nothing of fear or surrender.
If humanity loses this fight, the undead will inherit the Earth.
The struggles told here range from the frozen plains of Northern Europe to the edge of space. They take you back to the world first introduced in the novel In the Shadow of the Dead.
The beginning, and the uncertain end, of Earth's final plague awaits you.
