Description: Convinced that a militia leader holds the key to finally exacting justice, Deputy Marshal Mason Raines enters the destroyed city of Lexington. Traveling with the unlikeliest of allies, he must confront mutated survivors of the Superpox-99 virus and an elite group of military assassins sent to clean up evidence of President Pike's crimes. Meanwhile, Tanner and Samantha discover that their Naval Observatory hideaway isn't as safe as they would have liked to believe. Forced to once again travel the roads, they face all new threats, including bloodthirsty animals, and survivalists with a twisted system of justice. When they come face-to-face with patient zero, not only does the origin of the virus become clear but also a glimmer of hope for mankind's last survivors. Seeing an opportunity for revenge, President Pike orders the murder of General Carr. As plans fail and allies depart, he forced to accept that a larger showdown is coming. Soon, battle lines will be drawn. Blood will be spilled. And in the end, only the most ruthless will be left standing.
