Welcome to hell on Earth. Who would have thought Beath and her friends would ever be sad to say goodbye to school?

Eventually, however, as with all of history's greatest battles*, survival comes down to food, or more accurately the lack of it, which forces the teenage survivors and their sole teacher to head out into the wider world.

Welcome to hell on Earth. Who would have thought Beath and her friends would ever be sad to say goodbye to school? But when it's been your home away from home since the Zombie RiZing, long hours in the science lab suddenly don't seem so bad. Eventually, however, as with all of history's greatest battles*, survival comes down to food, or more accurately the lack of it, which forces the teenage survivors and their sole teacher to head out into the wider world. In theory, it's a pretty easy journey down the road to the city's shopping centre. But in reality, well … let's just say zombies aren't the only things standing in their way, with a host of new monsters that will change the game for good (well actually bad). Can the gang find a way to avoid winding up on the dinner table themselves? * this is an untrue statement
Autorenporträt
Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that's where the remarkable similarities between the two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world-renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it was here he first discovered his love of storytelling. In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to turn his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor. Matt donates part proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the youngest of his three children, Abby. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So not only is each book purchase a ticket to fantastically rounded, character-driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it also wraps you in a warm feeling of knowing you've made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech, it's a no-brainer.
