Opis

Oscar "Oz" Ritter is immortal -ish. The Immortal Virus flowing through his veins heals most wounds overnight and keeps him from aging, but sufficiently destructive damage to his brain will kill him and those like him. The Immortal Virus was not yet ready for human testing, but this did not concern Franz Schlepke, the man who funded the creation of the virus. When he used it in an effort to save his elderly, ailing wife, the virus erupted into a global pandemic that wiped out most of the population of the planet. Unfortunately, the virus did work to a certain degree, reviving many of those that seemingly had succumbed to it, and turning them into virtually immortal zombies with a drive to feed an unending hunger the virus creates within them. And for a handful of people not naturally immune, like Oz, the Immortal Virus worked as intended. Oz had given his word to his brother, Owen, that upon successfully freeing survivors enslaved by a group led by an immortal named Omari Redson and living in Cleveland Browns Stadium, they would attempt to discover the fate of their father. Oz also promised Father Kevin DeLuca that he would make an effort to rescue Kevin's niece, Teresa, from the cult in Montana where she had been taken against her will by her mother, Susan. Ryland Bickmore, an immortal man who believes himself to be resurrected by God, leads the cult and believes the zombies to be demons in league with Satan. So Oz and Owen journey west with their faithful dog, Toki, in an effort to fulfill Oz's promises. Leopold, Schlepke's former driver and right hand man, makes his escape from Eastern Europe along with two of Schlepke's test subjects. At the same time, Don Murphy, Leslie, and Peta leave the ashes of their friends and their shelter behind in Colorado to seek out a new, and hopefully more secure, home. Both of these small groups of survivors are searching for the same thing: a place to rebuild a life in a world overrun by anarchy and monsters, monsters that don't always come in the form of zombies. In this fourth book in the Immortal Virus saga, new survivors will emerge, some immune and some immortal, and all fighting to endure. How they go about this fight bridges the spectrum from honorable to evil. And in a world where anarchy reigns and zombies stalk the earth, honor may not keep you alive.
