Every
Death You Take, just one of the many tales in this anthology.
A lot can change in three months: wars can be decided,
nations can be forged... or entire species can be brought to the brink
of annihilation. The Morningstar Virus, an incredibly virulent
disease, has swept the face of the planet, infecting billions. Its
hosts rampage, attacking anything that remains uninfected. Even death
can't stop the virus-its victims as cannibalistic shamblers. Scattered
across the world, embattled groups have persevered. For some,
surviving is the pinnacle of achievement. Others hoard goods and
weapons. And still others leverage power over the remnants of humanity
in the form of a mysterious cure for Morningstar. Francis Sherman and
Anna Demilio want only a vaccine, but to find it, they must cross a
countryside in ruins, dodging not only the infected, but also the
lawless living. The bulk of the storm has passed over the world,
leaving echoing thunder and softly drifting ashes. But for the
survivors, the peril remains, and the search for a cure is just
beginning...
