Part of Joe Ledger, book 10.6
First published 2016
The dead have risen and civilization has collapsed. Captain Joe Ledger, Officer Desdemona Fox, and Rachael Elle find themselves united by desperate circumstances in a world overrun by monsters. A busload of children needs rescue, but the trio faces threats from multiple directions. Waves of ravenous zombies press in from all sides while corrupt human scavengers hunt the remaining survivors to enslave them. The three veterans of previous apocalyptic battles must navigate between these dual dangers, fighting both the undead hordes and ruthless living enemies who prey on the helpless. Meanwhile, Todd struggles through his own crisis when Chloe, his deceased former lover, escapes Hell seeking the peace that death denied her. The demon Samael pursues her, forcing Todd and Chloe to confront both supernatural threats and their unresolved emotional connection. As they flee together, buried feelings resurface amid soul-threatening peril. This collision of worlds brings together characters from multiple series in a tale where survival depends on facing both external monsters and internal demons.
