Sam's first year of teaching is over and life is smooth sailing. He couldn't be happier if he tried. Then everything changes in one terrible day and he's not ready for any of it.

The world has gone mad. Millions of people run the streets, ravenous and filled with an unthinking rage. The government almost immediately falls, leaving survivors entirely on their own. Left with one student and no safe place to turn, mild-mannered Sam must learn to be strong if he's to survive and keep the young child in his care safe.

As the world unravels and grows dark, he strives to keep one bright spark of humanity alive. Others are drawn to that light and a new kind of family develops. Through it all, only Sam stands between this new, small ray of hope and the eternal nightmare beyond their walls. If he fails, they'll all be trapped forever between life and death.

Readers asked for more Sam and now he's here. Adventure with beloved Sam and feisty Veronica from the beginning of the nanite apocalypse. Between Life and Death: The Book of Sam is the exciting prequel to the main Between Life and Death trilogy. It can be read as a stand-alone, as a prequel to the main series, or after the main series.
