When nowhere is safe… It's been almost a year since the beginning of the apocalypse when Cheryl Malone made the long journey from Colorado down to Tucson, Arizona to find her father. Fort San Manuel seems like a safe haven compared to the terrifying world outside, but one evening her sense of peace is shattered when a cacophony of screams rise above the music at a night club inside and the Eaters tumble over the walls like hungry rats. You must run again… She escapes in a Black Hawk helicopter but it is deliberately shot down and crashes into the Galiuro Mountains where she and her companions make an awkward alliance with a motorcycle gang led by an old friend. The only thing keeping the motley group together is a quest for survival and a burning desire to stop the organization that spread the infection. When there's no one left to trust…you must fight. After a shocking deception, Cheryl joins the Resistance and accepts a mission to destroy a new technology that means life or something akin to death for the world's remaining survivors. One bloody day will decide their fate.
