    About this ebook

    What doesn’t kill you is only waiting for its second chance. Nothing can stop the rise of the undead in the second zombie apocalypse thriller.

    Welcome back. You are about to be taken back to the first day of the outbreak. There are over a million people in the city of Waterloo; Dan Williamson is just one of them. Meet Dustin Barnes, not the typical protagonist, he’s a post-apocalyptic cockroach, the sort of guy that will do anything in order to survive, and he’s on a collision course heading north to New Castle.

    Those who have survived, the sinners and saints alike, knew the dead had an appetite before, now they are starving. With the scarcity of the delicacy they crave, human flesh, they are becoming maddened by the hunger, they are growing faster and more desperate in their attempts to feed.

    In a world where the dead refuse to stay buried, expect to see a few familiar faces.
