About this ebook

Molly’s up against the undead—and the fate of Manhattan is in her hands—in the third and final book of the Dead City trilogy, which Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins says “breathes new life into the zombie genre.”

Molly and the Omegas fight to contain the storm unleashed by Operation Blue Moon. As they do, Molly’s personal life is thrown into turmoil when she discovers that one of her closest friends has joined the ranks of the undead, a development that threatens the Omegas as well as Molly’s relationship with her mother.

As Molly and her friends battle the Dead Squad (a special NYPD task force made up entirely of zombies), they discover that the world’s largest gold reserve is kept in a vault eighty feet below the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. They find a photograph of the vault’s construction in the 1920s and realize that the construction crew was led by none other than the leader of the undead, Marek Blackwell. Could this explain the source of all his money? And if so, what is he planning to do with it? Is he rebuilding Dead City…or is he building an undead army?

Ratings and reviews

I am so proud of James Ponti. He deserves SIX stars not five. I can tell you anything about Dead City, Volumes One and Two. Keep up the ASTOUNDING work, James. You are by far the best author of the 21st century. I have already read Blue Moon and Volume One. Plus, I am about to pre order Dark Days after I post this honest comment. OMEGA TODAY, OMEGA FOREVER.

So interesting, spine chilling, some parts humourous and filled with suspense, I am seriously looking forward to book 3, hope there is a book 4 too and 5 and so on...

I'm getting the first two books today and will read them when I go to my bookstore Dark Days comes out the same day I have my doctors appointment and I will be the first person to read it in my city at least
