After decades of planning, the contagion was unleashed, and overnight hundreds of millions died and came back as rampaging, undead monsters.

The Blue Plague came roaring out of the Congo and into the United States - and it can’t be stopped. The Infected become violently insane and impossibly strong.

The finale of the Zombie Road tale. It's been a month since the outbreak, and the survivors of the zombie apocalypse have started a new life in a walled city.

The Blues are rapidly reproducing, growing more intelligent and lethal each day. With hundreds of millions still covering the earth, the future of humankind looks bleak.

Bruce and Mike finally made it home. But the battle for the future has just begun.

When the black rain began to fall, it was a worldwide phenomenon that mystified everyone. There was little time to ponder the cause. Most animals died at the onset.

Natasha is a student from a nomadic Siberia tribe trying to adjust to her new life in New York and fit in. But when a cataclysmic solar storm slams into the planet, everything changes.

The tribe had a far distance to travel and the undead weren't their only enemies. The hyena hunted them relentlessly, unscrupulous men wanted what they had, and even Mother Nature seemed to be against them.
