Rage continues the Z for Zombie series with a group of the Hopetown survivors heading out beyond the confines of their safe walls to hunt down the two Hybrids that they invited into their home with disastrous results. Unfortunately their paths soon cross with what is left of the American military who take hostages and demand certain terms be met. Len. Kimball, Nick ( the president of the United States' brother) are tortured and are going to be crucified unless a really bad plan to save them works. There's no way the plan can work. They plan for a rag-tag group to provide rescue while a boy who can do magic tricks causes mischief and hopefully distract the bad guys from their actions. The rescue goes a lot different from what is planned, leaving many to die from wounds or to walk the earth as one of the moaning undead. Beth is also plunged into confusion as she deals with an infected child and must weigh her maternal instincts against her need for revenge. As the series slips into high gear and secrets are revealed about each survivor, Beth is pure rage and no one is safe from her fury.
