A murderous army, an unspeakable plague and an approaching hurricane. One man will risk it all to save his community. Cities, nations, and governments lie in ruins and billions have perished. In the wake of a global apocalypse, survival has become a way of life in a world that seems intent on wiping them all out.
Among the survivors are Scott Montgomery and his friends on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. They have struggled to hang on better than most. But growing threats —both man-made and natural, leave their chances on a razors edge. Now with the help of uncertain alliances they must face a new threat none of them saw coming. The ‘Messengers’ are like a biblical plague, destroying everything—and everyone—in their path.
Time is short for the survivors and a grim new discovery means the Messengers may not be the only thing they should fear.
