Dave, a recovering alcoholic, wakes up to find his town overrun by zombies. Dave Pulaski wasted his youth getting drunk. When he met Holly, a beautiful, strong-willed woman, he decided to get his life together. Now a plague is decimating the town of Tres Marias. And it turns the victims into shrieking flesh-eaters who hunt. To survive, Dave, Holly, and a small band of soldiers must kill the living as well as the dead. But Dave is this close to drinking again. The vengeful woman he cheated with is after him–and she’s no longer human. The ravening hordes are swelling. And the beleaguered military forces are outnumbered. How can anyone live through this? For Dave, the choice is simple–learn to fight or join the burgeoning ranks of the undead. If you love gripping horror such as The Stand and The Walking Dead, you won’t be able to resist this rabid rollercoaster of a series.

Dave uncovers the conspiracy behind the plague. The lesson? Trust no one. After months of fighting the endless hordes ravaging Tres Marias, Dave Pulaski and his wife, Holly, catch a break. Black Dragon Security suddenly shows up in full force to rescue them. The paramilitary organization sets up a safe zone. They provide food and shelter for the bone-weary residents, as well as protection from zombies. But the nightmare is far from over. The virus is mutating, and the infected are getting smarter–and faster. Then, when a savvy reporter starts asking too many questions, she’s murdered. Dave finally uncovers the truth behind the epidemic–a secret medical experiment. But the revelation will cost him, and the price just might be too much to bear. Since the beginning, Dave has fought to protect the ones he loves. What if it’s not enough?

Dave takes on a final mission–kill Walt Freeman and save the Russian girl. Looking for revenge, Dave Pulaski heads to Los Angeles. He’s hell-bent on killing the man responsible for the zombie experiment that turned Tres Marias into a charnel house. But the mission goes sideways when a Russian girl named Sasha escapes a secret medical facility run by Walt. Despite his thirst for vengeance, Dave decides to help her. Now a ruthless, ex-military sociopath working for Walt is after them. Meanwhile, scientifically engineered mutants who flay their victims alive are running rampant across the city. Chances are good that Dave will die before he can complete his mission. For Dave, revenge is a powerful narcotic. How deep into the darkness is he willing to go?
