THE WORLD IS DEAD!

Two months ago, billions of people were killed by a deadly germ. Days later, they rose up again in massive numbers. Since then, cities worldwide have become rat-infested, germ-filled hellholes, ruled by the living dead.

WELCOME TO LONDON

A group of survivors are trapped in the rotting heart of the capital, hopelessly outnumbered. They've heard rumours of a safe haven to the north - a self-sufficient community where people can rebuild their devastated lives - but the decaying ruins of London are vast and sprawling, and they're going to need an army to get away from this place.

There are other people here, waiting in the shadows. Can enough of them band together to make a difference, or has the country - maybe even the entire world - already been lost to the undead?

The first book in a standalone trilogy set in the nightmare world of David Moody's international best-selling AUTUMN series - the original epic British zombie saga.
