THEY WON'T STAY DEAD. A band of road-weary survivors struggling to find refuge from the living dead. A family sticking together, barricaded in their home while the living dead besiege the town. Scientists working under the thumb of the United States government in the Mount Weather Special Facility are trying desperately to understand why the dead are returning to life, and they might have found out why... STAY DEAD, the first novel in the series, is a fast-paced journey through the ruined streets of a world gasping for one last breath. It blends action and adventure into a dreadfully bleak look at what the inevitable zombie apocalypse will look like.
