After traveling into the Midwest the crew deal with an increasing amount of pressure as the true scale of the plague becomes clear. The dead have permeated every square inch of the country leaving the few remaining survivors desperate for commodities that were once commonplace.
Roving bands of raiders and small, independent communities pose serious threats to one another amongst the every increasing numbers of ravenous, shambling corpses. The group, having suffered difficult losses and few victories, cope with the catatonic state of their friend Kylee; it's a recipe for disaster. On the military side, Colonel Lang and Chalmers continue to pursue their goals and Dr. Morofsky is making progress of a different sort--the Colonel may be a worse threat than the dead.
As Dext and his band of survivors push further, they meet many new people and not all of them are trustworthy. Whether they make it to the coast, and ultimately their salvations, or continue to perish, is yet to be seen.
"Fans of The Walking Dead are going to love this series. The characters are realistic and witty, the dialogue is great and the writing is quickly paced. The series should do well. Recommended."
