Escaping a city of zombies is one thing. Escaping a whole country of them is something else. Tom Goode finds himself alternately hunted and haunted by the dead. Only a handful of survivors are left to join him on the perilous route out of London, and they have little to defend themselves with other than hope. A host of deadly creatures is emerging alongside the relentless zombies, a result of the infection that is destroying the world. Hearing of the British Navy's plan to attempt one final rescue just off the coast, Tom struggles to lead his group to the rendezvous in time. In their way stands Lazarus, a ruthless man defended by a desperate band of thugs and convicts. With Lazarus' army standing between Tom and safety, he will have to use every ounce of strength to survive. The journey to the future starts now.
