Retrogression [A Zombie Apocalypse Novel]

People throughout history have always attempted to figure out by what means the world would end. Super-volcanos, the second ice age, solar flares, and many other theories have been thought of, but surprisingly it was none of the above. The end, as humanity knew it, came at the hands of arrogance. As World War III drew too close for comfort, countries around the globe raced each other by medical warfare, attempting to create a super virus that would annihilate the enemy without having to send soldiers to fight. This was the era of new warfare. It was the era of science, and the era of innovation. It was the upcoming of a new way to rid the world of the enemy, without using physical brute force. It was the beginning of the end. Innovation gone wrong, the evolution of an already powerful virus, and human error all lead to the downfall of man. The dead began to rise, houses were set ablaze, and people were forced to relocate in attempt for survival. The new world was created out of pure pride, egotism, and ignorance. In this new world, those who remain not only struggle to survive, but also struggle to live. Because, as the apocalypse dwellers fully know, surviving and living are two very divergent paths.
