"No one else was supposed to die..."
The laboratories are gone, the ashes of the dead drawn by the wind into frozen nothingness.
Former government scientist Kara Mason knew the risks when she agreed to escape the laboratories and destroy the DDC's greatest weapon. But she never expected to be responsible for the harrowed band of escaped volunteers and a cure that could save the world from the grips of the Zoribiatus virus.
"It had to be done."
In the middle of a wilderness, traumatized and adrift, Kara knows it's only a matter of time before the search begins and the DDC sends out their trail of near-dead. To get the cure into the waiting hands of the dissenters, Kara will have to navigate a world she's never been a part of to do what her father couldn't.
Eli Cain spent his life on the outside and seems to have the answers. Kara wants to trust the enigmatic mercenary, but his refusal to follow the rules might tear the group apart.
"We don't kill the living."
The dissenters have always existed with some level of invisibility, but things have changed. Supplies are running short and tension threatens to tear apart what little family Kara has left. Orman's out for more than revenge and someone in the group is harboring a terrible secret.
"Out here, there's a lot more to worry about than the near-dead."
Into the Deadlands is the heart-pounding, thriller-packed sequel to Due North.
