As the Infected extend their control, New Avalon stands free, but at a high cost.
Marius is missing, presumed dead. Torres refuses to give up on him, determined to launch a rescue if only she knew where to look. Miranda struggles with the Infected's growing influence on her mind. Under John's command, the New Avalon Rangers guard against the Infected, scavenge supplies, and rescue people.
But the Infected aren't the only threat the survivors face. As the Infected creep ever closer, the New Avalon Rangers make contact with other communities, some friendly, others¿not so much. When a charismatic strongman with visions of a "pure" humanity sets his sights on New Avalon, they must decide whether to cooperate with other non-Infected or risk fighting multiple enemies at once.
Will divided loyalties, tangled family ties, and the evolving Infected destroy humanity's chances just as they start to rebuild?
"Wow, I'm still catching my breath-this book was nonstop! It is set in a bleak world filled with violence and tragedy, where the worst aspects of humanity are in full bloom. Yet, as with all extremes, there are pockets of sacrifice, courage, and love, leaving the reader with real hope for humanity - theirs and ours."
-Mikko Azul, author of The Staff of Fire and Bone and The Rod of Wind and Iron
In a time when it's too easy to believe in impending apocalypse, it's good to finish up a tentacle infestation trilogy with human struggles, nobility, love, and reunions. The third book of M.K. Martin's Survivors' Club series gave me the page turning catharsis I needed. I'm totally team Torres, and I'm now hoarding peaches.
--Eric Witchey, award-winning author of Littlest Death and Bull's Labyrinth
"A satisfying conclusion, rich with thrills, heartbreak, and heroism."
-Karen Eisenbrey, author of Ego & Endurance and A Quest for Hidden Things
