A biologist, an anthropologist, a cartographer, a salvage expert-all are hoping to build a new future from the rubble in the Dead Lands. Until all hell breaks loose . . .A Land of DeathThe infected are still out there. Stalking. Feeding. Spreading like a virus. Wild animals roam the countryside, hunting prey. Small pockets of humanity hide in the shadows: some scared, some mad, all dangerous. This is the New World. If the explorers want it, they'll have to take it.
