The first volume in D.J. Molles's bestselling series, now in a special edition with the bonus novella The Remaining: Faith.
In a steel-and-lead encased bunker a Special Forces soldier waits on his final orders.
On the surface a bacterium has turned 90% of the population into hyper-aggressive predators.
Now Captain Lee Harden must leave the bunker and venture into the wasteland to rekindle a shattered America.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Anxiety and building desperation fuel this debut zombie thriller, the first in a series that already has a significant online fan base. Army Capt. Lee Harden is alone in an underground bunker, preparing to return to a world where the FURY virus has turned most of the population into homicidal cannibals. Sharply targeted sentences depict an acutely human action hero who wrestles his anxiety by packing and unpacking his gear, trying to find online porn in a post-Internet world, and playing with his dog. Amply trained and armed, Lee is nonetheless a nauseated shaking mess as he emerges with little understanding of what he's up against. With a handful of survivors, he embarks on a sweaty, frantic, bloody scramble across the surreally placid North Carolina countryside. Though this first installment is less a story than an establishment of scene and players, Molles's precise construction gives readers ample reason to return, as does the agonizing companion novella, which provides an unnerving view of what occurred while Lee was waiting to begin his mission.

GD word is way over used
The books series was good and I’m not a big church goer but, the constant use of the gd word really took away from the story. It was like that middle school kid that learned a new curse word.
Beware of bait and switch of remaining novels
Good books, but the last two are only 50 pages!
Some brilliant marketing idiot decided that if you get the customer hooked then they will have to buy the last 2 books each with only 50 pages.
Well, I'm going to let the story end in the middle. I won't be ransomed!
A heavy read but interesting (would give 3.5 if possible)
Okay, I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, I appreciate the tactical realism and I think the premise is interesting and the author really goes into the specifics making a somewhat realistic zombie apocalypse scenario. On the other hand, it is a very heavy read. Definitely don’t advise you read this if you’re on the sensitive side (mentions of SA, alot of graphic stuff that veers into unnecessary territory). However, in terms of pure craft this novel is something special. I’m not gonna lie I have a love hate relationship with this book😂
