In a concealed laboratory, buried deep underground, the squad discovers a monstrous super-race that will either be humanity's greatest weapon or deliver a blood soaked end to their existence. The mission becomes perilous and terrifying; all may not survive. Above ground, zombies have made startling progress, and the team faces a powerful necromancer who controls an army of the dead. There is a magic here, though, that Michael never dared hope for. Meanwhile, aboard the floating city, the USS Jimmy Carter, a malcontented faction is hatching plans of violence and insurrection. Even within Talbot's own squad there are mutinous whispers. How many lines will be crossed? What is the price of loyalty and honor? Is it the cost of survival? Join Michael Talbot, BT, and their daredevil team on a gripping adventure to restore the world to the living!

Jolly old England, where death has created an island of misfit zombies mutating rapidly in bizarre, deadly ways. The creatures have formed tribal groups intent on ending Humanity permanently. Two hopeful survivors of the Apocalypse, Mac and his young friend, Wilkes, are on the run from a brutal regime of slavers, and the bright spot in their lives is reading the lost journals of Michael Talbot, living vicariously through his sensational, hair-raising exploits. In this journal, Talbot and his squad are tasked with another dubious rescue mission, one more difficult than they've ever faced, and with far more at stake than just their own lives. Though the primary objective has failed, they are met with an unexpected mission, granting them access to a higher purpose, and a burning hope that still exists. But the strife never ends, and one day it will all be too much for Captain Talbot, and the cracks are starting to show. How much battle, how much loss, can one man take and maintain what's left of his already damaged sanity?

Getting to Etna Station is all that matters, with the world rapidly collapsing around them, Mike and company make a desperate trek to reach what they believe to be a safe haven. Can they out run the demons that chase them? Will they succumb to Knox and his tyrannical army or Payne, a revenge-bent vampire? New friends will be made along the way while some old ones will fall. If they make it, will it be all they hoped or just another nightmare?

Michael Talbot and his crew are sailing happily along aboard their nuclear aircraft carrier, The USS Jimmy Carter, building an ideal community, saving the planet from zombies and madmen in ports far and wide and.... Nope. That's some other book. The gang's out to sea alright, but under the worst possible meaning of the phrase. Vague rumors of budding discord now take an ugly, violent turn, pitting the squad against mutineers and malcontents from every sector, and some of the plotters are from Talbot's own House. What's worse than a bloody uprising at sea? Zombies! Though command assures us they have everything under control, total Hell breaks loose as Colonel Eastman's secret pets mutate, escape, and wreak murderous havoc on all decks. These new monsters are smart and nearly impossible to kill. The carrier and crew can no longer survive the brutal assault on it from both sides. Can The Talbot gang possibly overcome battling terrorists, super-zombies, and a hopelessly damaged ship? As the Demi-Goddess Poena has been known to say: "Let's throw a hurricane down upon them." Doomed, you say? Quite possibly.

The Talbot clan has settled in to life at Etna Station. Mike has earned the rank of Lieutenant, but there’s no time to rest. Colonel Bennington has ordered Mike and his squad of misfits on a secretive mission to New York City where they are tasked to complete a complicated rescue that rapidly becomes nearly impossible to accomplish. Cut off from all support, they face what may be the single most dangerous threat to all mankind as a super predator emerges from the rubble of the once vibrant city, now a broken shadow of its former self. As their mission becomes more covert and questionable than they had originally been told, Mike, BT, Gambo and their team are forced to choose between the security of their families and what’s best for Humanity. Will they succeed in what must be done? Or will they fall along the way as their ever-adapting, quickly evolving zombie enemies press the attack?
