"They say the captain goes down with the ship, so when the world ends, will God go down with it?" (FallOutBoy) For months the E Virus had raged; killing and re-animating thousands of individuals. After starting with a nineteen-year-old honors student, Emily Hawkins, the Virus spread throughout the world. For a while, everyone believed that the world would end. Borders of countries were shut down and curfews were enacted and, of course, there were cities that went "off the map", but life went on as normal. Until the day it didn't. One day, everything changed. The Virus suddenly became out of control; killing thousands all at the same time and creating what would be the beginning of the end. Those who survived were catapulted into a new, dangerous life that threatened to force people into primitive ways. Without a cure, without a reason, without safety, chaos erupts. Follow the lives of multiple survivors as they fight to make it through the new Earth; not only fighting and evading the "Virals"...but other humans themselves.
