On their continuing journey to uncover the awful truth behind the Raptor Apocalypse, Jesse, Cory, Eve, and Kate encounter the odd people who have managed to survive-a trader who thinks herself a queen, an alcoholic doctor who hides a dark secret, a familiar man with half a face, and a tyrant who learned how control others by playing video games. When Jesse, Cory, Eve, and Kate become separated, each must find a way to remain alive in this bleak new world.
