Publisher's Synopsis
Somehow, John has defeated his enemies both inside and outside Neraka. He's become the city's leader, which means the lives of two hundred thousand civilians, as well as Amber's and their unborn child's, are in his hands. He never asked for the role of Temporary Chief Executive, though; he doesn't yearn for power like some of his rivals. Now they face the greatest threat of all. The Shepherds, the shadowy global organisation who marshal the zomb-augs, have had their noses bloodied by John and his city. Their maniacal ruler swears to destroy the AugFrees of West Virginia in retaliation. John faces the ultimate choice: should he fight fire with fire and use his foes' weapons against them? Or will he ignore his instincts and trust the zombie-killing skills he's honed over the last two years? In the meantime, enemies closer to home continue to wreak havoc. If a certain former vice president has his way, the invading undead millions will find only smoke and ashes when they arrive. The stakes have never been higher, the chances of survival slimmer than ever before. But one way or another, the war ends here. Who will still be standing at the end?
