After the outbreak of a mysterious plague, cities are transformed into graveyards and the prairie is roamed by the undead.

Those who want to survive need courage, bullets and people they can trust.

Bill Carver, once a soldier and farmer, finds himself caught up in a series of dramatic encounters that bring together a motley crew of survivors. But the greatest danger is not only the wandering corpses. It is bandits, betrayal and an eerie call that can drive even the strongest mad.

Between dust, blood and difficult decisions, a community is formed... or a gang of outlaws.

The book series based on the video game.
