Lone Survivor
The world is dead. The outbreak that consumed humanity left the cities as graveyards of the past, where only the infected roam. In the ruins of Subic Bay Freeport and Olongapo City, one man remains-a ghost in a dead city. Richard "Ric" Ramirez was left behind when his family escaped. The last time he saw them, the docks were burning, the infected closing in, and he was out of bullets. He should have died. He should have turned. But he didn't. Now, months later, Ric has become something else. A predator. A hunter. A man with a single purpose-wipe out every infected in his city. In the ruins of his family's 500-square-meter compound in Gordon Heights, he has built his own fortress. Every day, he hunts, scavenges, and kills, determined to take back what was lost. But the dead are not the only enemies. Across the sea, in the Palawan Military Refugee Zone, his wife Cat, his daughter Sam, and his son Teo have found sanctuary-but at a cost. The government has fallen. The military, under General Miguel Cortez, has seized power, ruling with an iron fist. His right-hand man, Colonel Enrique Villanueva of Project Sentinel, hides dark secrets-secrets that may hold the key to why Ric never turned. The world believes Ric Ramirez is dead. They are wrong. Now, whispers spread across the ruins. Survivors speak of a lone warrior, a phantom in the streets, a man who refuses to die. When Ric learns the truth about Palawan-about the danger his family faces-he will do the impossible. He will bring war to the dead, to the living, to anyone standing in his way. From the ashes of a fallen world, a legend will rise. He is the Lone Survivor. [This is Book 4 of the Dark Waters Universe.]Complete
