The animated dead was not planned for, but there is no going back now. The new world order starts. Today. Then there is the fly in the ointment. Somehow, there are survivors. These people face a dead world intent on causing them harm. And an unseen, greater danger. One that is alive and seeks to subjugate or otherwise eradicate them.
