N37b is a survivor-one of roughly two hundred people in New Zealand who survives the Event, in which the undead rise as zombies and slaughter their way across the world. An oddity in this postapocalyptic landscape, N37b is a loner by preference. A highly intelligent, unfit, and unmotivated sociopath, he makes his way on his own based in a small New Zealand town called Napier. When he meets Tammy, he plans to use her as distraction for the zombies and then leave her behind. Despite his intentions, however, he soon finds that he begins to like her ... and perhaps even more than that. N37b has always believed that people will betray him if it is in their interest to do so; after all, that's what he would do. Can he trust Tammy-and himself- enough to give love a chance? Can a sociopath find love in the midst of the zombie apocalypse? This post-apocalyptic science fiction novel tells the story of a sociopathic survivor, the woman he unexpectedly falls for, and their search for the truth of what destroyed their civilization.
