The few that survived Z-Day thought they were safe. They were wrong. The Zeds were not the only enemy. After the harrowing escape of the survivors of Z-Day, freshly promoted Lieutenant-Colonel Andrew Stevens of the American Emergency Response Operations has been hailed as a war hero and the leader of America's tattered fighters. On the day of his 21st birthday, an old friend of Andrew's suddenly appears in Seattle with a terrifying warning: the dreaded Alcon virus has surfaced on the West Coast. As the infection begins to spread across the region, Andrew scrambles his men to try and quell the infection before it destroys the last clean zone in the States. Two thousand miles away, a much darker secret is brewing. Someone has managed to weaponize the Alcon virus and is planning to detonate it above Seattle. With the clock ticking, Andrew and his team go rogue to stop this new threat. After a stunning raid on a deserted military base, Andrew uncovers something that chills him to the bone: the traitor is high up in the chain of command and is holding his girlfriend, his commanding officer, and the former director of the Centers for Disease Control hostage. Before he can get the information to his superiors, he is shot and left for dead, and nobody knows how or why. Now, what's left of AERO must put a stop to the traitor's plans, and unveil his true intentions before it is too late. With more thrills and kills than the first novel, Edge of Death: Deadlock focuses on the horror of a dead world and coping with the loss of friends, family and society. The survival-horror nature of the novel will leave you begging for more and wondering how it will all end.
