A chronicle of survival in a world of the living dead.There is no Heaven or Hell; there is only blood and the dust of flesh. The Corpse Fauna Chronicles A vast, malevolent darkness streams across the cosmos. A plague of the living dead sweeps over the Earth. Those left alive scramble for survival like insects feasting on a corpse. And from dead flesh stare a million unnatural eyes. Will the balance of the world tilt to life-or death? Only a handful of the living will decide. Manipulated by undead powers, they travel rough roads of deprivation and danger, finding themselves snared in a web spun by saints and sinners with control of the reanimated dead. Cornell, one-time bank robber seeking only freedom. Della, nurse escaping the prison of her past. Burke, former military scientist clinging to the last of his sanity. Vale, abandoned, finding her true strength in the world of the dead.
