White Flag of the Dead Book 1: Surrender of the Living. How would you expect the world to end? Would it be in a searing flash of light? Perhaps through the accumulated destruction of natural disasters? Or will it end with a gasp, a final surrender of life? Millions died when the Enillo Virus swept the earth.

Or do they find the will to fight, to try and hang on to the last shreds or humanity? Views: 43
