Publisher Description
In a world ravaged by nuclear strikes, the final battle between Hater and Unchanged is about to begin.
A series of nuclear strikes has left huge swathes of the country uninhabitable. It's a level playing field now: both Hater and Unchanged alike have to fight to stay alive. Both have retreated to their camps to regroup, less than twenty miles away from each other.
It's here that the last major battle of the final war will inevitably be fought, but neither side has any idea what's waiting for them just around the corner.
Both armies are ready to fight to the death, each of their leaders hell-bent on victory. Their tactics are uniformly simple: strike first, get the enemy in a chokehold, then strangle the life out of them.
Chokehold, the third book in The Final War series from Hater author David Moody, is a fast-paced and wonderfully dark story about the fight for survival in the face of the impending apocalypse. Perfect for readers of John Maberry, Max Brooks, and fans of post-apocalyptic horror and dystopian science fiction.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Moody's blood-soaked third Final War novel, Matthew Dunne and a handful of fellow survivors emerge from an underground bunker into a nuclear-blasted Britain still overrun with vicious, rage-fueled Haters, transformed humans whose overriding need is to kill Unchanged people like Matt. Beaten down and exhausted, Matt only wants to be left alone, but he's drawn back into the fight when he and his group are taken to a fortified compound run by an old acquaintance, Estelle Bisseker, commanding officer of the Civil Defense Force. Estelle is eager to take the Haters down once and for all, but she's not prepared for a massive cell of Haters that's primed to wipe out the last of the Unchanged. When Matt spots a Hater in their midst, no one believes him, and he's drugged, only to awaken to carnage. Matt sets out to find the rest of the group and warn them of the impending bloodbath. Moody toggles between the perspectives of the Haters and the Unchanged, eschewing nuance and peppering Matt's harrowing journey with brutal fights that pave the way for all-out final battles. Fans of exceedingly bleak survival horror will be satisfied.
