About this ebook

From the author of Remains of the Dead,a group of strangers struggles to survive in an office block as a zombie apocalypse rages outside.

The world is infected. The dead are reanimating and attacking the living. In a city being overrun with ravenous corpses, people find safety where they can. A disparate group of strangers drawn together by chance seek sanctuary from the carnage outside in an empty office block. Besieged by an army of walking dead and with little hope of rescue, the group must learn to work together if they are going to survive. But for how long can the barricades hold back the ever-increasing hordes of undead? How long before the food runs out? How long before those who were bitten succumb to the infection? And how long before they realise that the dead outside are the least of their fears?
