Infection turned the world into a slaughterhouse. Months later, America is exhausted and dying, its military stalled in the fight to save what’s left. In the ruins of a West Virginia town, a band of survivors count their losses after a horrific battle to secure a pure sample of Infection. Their “Fort Doom,” USAMRIID, the Army’s germ warfare laboratory, which is under siege. With humanity facing the possibility of extinction, the Army wants to use the sample to build a doomsday weapon against Infection. One scientist hopes to control Infection; another believes she can cure it. And outside the fort’s walls, a lone survivor offers a new way to survive what’s coming. Each will choose how far they’ll go to survive and what they’re willing to lose to save humanity. In The Final Cut, Craig DiLouie’s brutal vision of the apocalypse concludes with a revelation of the final mysteries of Infection. Will humanity survive the end of days? "DiLouie brings his Infection trilogy to a smart and deftly written conclusion with The Final Cut . It's a welcome return to a nightmare world where humanity is rapidly running out of choices and chances. Frantically paced and frequently grotesque, the pressure is palpable and intense. In these strange times, The Final Cut makes for brutal and uncomfortable but ultimately rewarding reading." —David Moody, author of the Hater and Autumn novels
