Overview

"You walk across the ash covered earth, you hear the gunfire and the screams knowing radiation flashes of that moment will never leave you. Not fully. Not ever." Zoe Carter, Survivor.After the explosive events that ended War Parade, Zoe and her crew are left to pick up the pieces as they work out if there's anyone left they can trust. With alliances disintegrated through battle, nowhere seems safe as the Norwood juggernaut seeks to drive home their people and weapons advantage in the search for precious food supplies. An ambitious expansion plan seems set to elevate Norwood to the outright superpower in what remains of the Adelaide plains. If left unchallenged there may be no coming back for those outside its ash-protected walls. But the spread of bloodshed is set to bring new survivor hubs into its violent vortex, new complications, new hope. Matt J Pike's award-winning Apocalypse Survivors series expands into the darkness with a third Norwood story. In the ever-evolving post-apocalyptic chaos, can Zoe and her crew find like-minded allies in the ash before it's too late. Is it even worth the risk? Either way, the borders of new Adelaide are set to move again, and nobody wants to be stranded on the wrong side when it does.
