Publisher's Synopsis
This edition uses OpenDyslexic font. In a society that has fallen to a nightmarish disease that brings the dead back to life, Ethan finds himself at war with his vengeful stepfather who taught him all he knows to survive in an apocalyptic world. Ethan gathers a troupe of other survivors - including Thomas, the thuggish football captain; Kady, the flighty cheerleader; and Gerald, the meek tinkerer - and builds a home base fortress to fight back against the army he knows his stepfather is creating. Ethan's clan of survivors relies on him to guide them, but personal conflicts make it seemingly impossible to work as a team. Ethan knows, if they don't pull themselves together, his stepfather will make them wish the disease had taken them first.
