Everything's food for something else. Humanity has been on top of the food chain for their entire existence. When a disease unlike any other seen before could potentially wipe out the whole human race, the world's top scientists are all sent too Atlanta to discover a way to extinguish the flame before it starts a forest fire. England's top zoologist (sent to observe the behaviour of the infected) is only in the air for twelve hours. But a lot can happen in a short space of time. Whilst Electra is in the comfort of her aeroplane seat up above, all hell breaks loose down below as the disease becomes an epidemic spreading like wild fire. On arriving in Columbus she comes face to face which what seems to be the apocalypse. The dead are walking, but will the living be walking for long?

Jes is a sarcastic 14 year old girl living in the middle if the apocalypse. She was on her own for 6 months, barely finding enough food to stay alive. She was out one day gathering supplies when she meets, Carl Grimes. It wasn't exactly what you would call "love at first sight." Jes learns to trust and love her new group more than anything. She will do whatever it takes to protect them, especially Carl.
