Book 3 in the award winning Creepers Saga The survivors-these warriors of an awful, dead world-are broken and divided. Pursued by the relentless Infected, they have fled into the wasteland to pay penance for all their foolish schemes: the schemes that have broken their once-strong bond, the plans that have cost them their friends, and the choices that they have paid for in blood. But still the warriors refuse to surrender, and in that determination they rediscover the thing that has driven them throughout their journey-hope. The Infected, however, are not the only dangerous mysteries of this new world, and safety is no longer a place to be found; it is something they must fight for. So they turn, once more, to face the Infected-to do battle for their lives and for the hope of all humankind. They will throw the last of their strength against the Creepers. They will stand together, willing to sacrifice all that is left of themselves as they again meet the infected horde. . . beneath the gathering storm.
