About this ebook

In this riveting, “gory, and action-packed” (Jonathan Maberry) survival thriller, set in the expansive world of Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead series, three people from different walks of life in China must join forces against the typhoon of undead as chaos sweeps over Asia.

In the aftermath of the zombie virus outbreak, what remains of the Chinese government has estimated that one billion walkers (called jiangshi) are currently roaming through the country. Across this dramatic landscape, large groups of survivors have clustered together for safety in villages and towns that have been built vertically as a means of protection against the unceasing wave of jiangshi.

Before this devastation, Zhu was one of the millions of poor farmers who left their rural roots for the promise of consistent employment in one of China’s booming factory towns. Elena was an American teaching English in China while on a gap year before beginning law school. Hengyen was a grizzled military officer of some renown, and a passionate believer in his nation’s ability to surmount any obstacle.

But with the settlement’s 3,000 mouths to feed and the scavengers having to travel further and further in search of food, Zhu ends up at his home village, where he is shocked to find survivors. Does he force them to join the settlement or keep their existence a secret?

Meanwhile, Hengyen is tasked with the impossible: fortifying the Beacon against a 100,000-strong “typhoon” of walkers header their way. Even though he realizes that the Beacon hardly stands a chance, Hengyen is a believer and will stand with his compatriots to the very last, bringing him into conflict with Zhu, who intends to flee the path of the typhoon and make for the safety of China’s dramatic mountain ranges before it’s too late.

Given “two decaying thumbs up,” (Jonathan Mayberry, author of Rot & Ruin), this book is sure to get your heart racing and leave you wanting more!

    Chinese Zombie Horror while an accurate summary does little to convey just how good Chu's work here is. In addition to writing an excellent zombie survival story Chu does a terrific job of writing and showing the tremendous psychological stress that survivors operate under and what that stress can drive them to do whether heroic, evil, or just a total break down. The ways in which the outbreak spreads and is responded too are also extremely well depicted especially the differences caused by Chinese history and society. Characters aren't just struggling to survive but members of the Living Revolution engaged in their own Long March falling back on Communist Party slogans, history, and structures to try and maintain some kind of society. Altogether Chu has done a masterful job of creating very human characters trying to survive an inhuman threat and the many other all to human threats posed by fellow survivors and Revolutionaries.
