About this ebook

As long as the undead hordes of the Inferi Scourge howl outside the dying city, the last remaining humans struggle to survive inside The Bastion. Vanguard Maria Martinez has lived her entire life within the towering walls. Her only refuge from the overcrowded streets, rolling blackouts, and food shortages is in the arms of Officer Dwayne Reichardt. Then Maria is summoned to meet with a mysterious representative from the Science Warfare Division and is offered the opportunity to finally destroy the Inferi Scourge and reclaim the land and resources in the valley beyond the wall. If she succeeds, the city may be saved.

But if she fails, humanity faces extinction…

Ratings and reviews

The situation is improbable, people in their huge city can't win over mindless zombies having technology advantage. Their plans to win are childish and even the situation they got in is silly. Characters aren't developed much, drawn with white and black paint.

At first I was disappointed by the simplistic characters and cliche descriptions. Then I was caught up in the page-turning zombie action. So it just depends on what you're after, I guess.

As I am partial to post-apocalyptic themes, I liked this story very much. I thought there was a parallel from the infected here and the infected from the World War Z movie. Over all, a good read. Thank you.
