Updated cover edition found here. Elliot is alive. Billions are dead. Millions more are a little bit of both. Former US Army Ranger Elliot is used to doing things the hard way. In the post-collapse wasteland of Tasmania, the only way to survive is by going it alone. So when Elliot is made responsible for orphaned boy Lewis, the hard way gets even harder. Hunted by the men who murdered Lewis' family - as well as by the teeming undead - Elliot tries to teach the boy what it takes to survive in this harsh new world. He's not sure Lewis has what it takes to make it. As the body count rises and the undead close in, Elliot's not sure he does either.
