Publisher's Synopsis
Based on a soon to be true story Doc's reached the end of his endurance. Still mourning the loss of his wife and his world, the forty-something former college professor has fought to keep his daughter safe in a zombie-infested world. Now, the only escape for both of them seems to be the last two bullets in his pistol.
Joining a convoy of well-protected rednecks on a foraging mission offers Doc renewed hope, and their home base gives father and daughter the illusion of safety and civilization-enough that they can squabble like old times over Kate's infatuation with roguishly handsome young Jake.
The false sense of normalcy ends at the monthly group meeting being run by Tree the self absorbed leader of this small community who sees himself as the savior of humanity. His vicious and troublemaking half brother Tit makes a terrifying announcement and claims sixteen-year-old Kate for his own, an announcement that leaves Doc struggling to survive in "the pit," where those who anger Tree fight for survival against captured zombies.
If Doc's to save Kate, he's going to have to toughen up and form alliances within the group. And with a zombie herd closing in on the "Rednecks of the Dead," he's going to have to act fast, or risk losing the one person he still holds dear.
