Alex Romero is only eleven years old, but he's already been staring into the face of death for years.

In a Central Texas hollowed out by economic collapse and the lingering rot of the SK disease, survival isn't a choice, it's a trade. With a father a thousand unreachable miles away and a mother spiraling into addiction, Alex spends his days stealing and bartering just to keep his seven-year-old sister, Anjie, from going hungry.

Paying little attention to the Exanimate-the vacant, brain-damaged shells of the dead kept in the shadows of unmarked Holding Centers. Alex thought he knew how to navigate the ruins of the civilized world.

He was wrong. The world was nearly dead, but its waking up.

The silence of the peaceful dead is breaking. A new strain of the plague is igniting a decade-old medical legacy, turning both the living and the dead into raging, murderous psychopaths.

Now, trapped in his decrepit apartment with no food, no water, and a mother who may already be turning into the thing he fears most, Alex has to face a terrifying reality.

What would you do to protect the only person you have left? What would you do in the Face of Death?
