From the author of Feast and Reinheit comes a new chapter in horror... News reports speak of mass panic and violence spreading across the globe. Negligent leaders hide behind misinformation. But in an age of paranoia and suspicion, who can say what is true any more? Struggling to survive against a sweeping epidemic that has engulfed the planet, survivors will have to make hard choices in a world that no longer makes sense. Live. Die. Or become one of the undead.

Planet of the Dead continues... Following the events of Planet of the Dead, survivors of the expanding outbreak take shelter in homes and bunkers and apartment complexes. Across the world, armed police and military struggle to maintain safety. Tensions mount as the worst imaginable comes to pass when nuclear weapons are used on civilian populations overrun with the living dead. Soon afterward, a coup mounts between warring factions of Generals, ruining the best-laid plans of two AWOL soldiers, a cybernetically enhanced veteran, and a scientist, forcing them to fight both humans and flesh-eating hordes of undead as they seek refuge from a planet plagued by war.

Planet of the Dead continues! War has devastated our planet. Radiation and ash from atomic bombs have clouded the sky - blocking out the sun. Nuclear winter scorches the land with freezing temperatures. And the dead march in the millions. Hidden in an undisclosed underground bunker off the coast of China, Doctor Ying searches for a cure. But time is running out as her military escort's impatience grows with each passing day. Travelling east along I-10, Polk, Jelks, Collins, and Doctor Ahuja follow a rumor that may be too good to be true. The world has become more viscous in the months since the first bombs fell. Has humanity become a lost cause? Is there anywhere left where people can thrive once again? As General Rusk basks in the glory of his own created paradise, a storm is brewing. But this is no meteorological phenomena... There is something coming from the wastelands of the north that could very well wipe the last dregs of humanity off the face of the planet.
