In the midst of a fierce global war, a flesh eating virus known as the Wave threw humanity into disarray, turning people mad and sending cities to their knees. Years after the wars end, America is a wasteland, filled with psychopathic cannibals driven by the infection.
Only a few safe districts remain and it's up to Marshal to keep himself and the people around him in check. It won't be easy though, as a mysterious force has emerged from the ashes... and they aren't friendly.

He is not alone, however, as reincarnated bounty hunter Leah believes that Liam holds the key to reversing the pandemic that created her race.

Into The Unknown
After a catastrophic war and a deadly virus that plagued the world, humanity is left divided, hunting each other down and murdering for vengeance... Or purely for fun. With humanity on the brink of extinction, and another war on the rise, a survivor is revived, given a chance to maybe, just maybe, save the world. ...And all she can remember is her name. ______________________________________ There is a name for those who mutated to survive the virus. I'm not talking about the immune, who can flush the disease straight from their system. I'm talking about The Freaks. If you listen to the rumours, after the Deathwave they started appearing from the wastes, people with no soul or conscience, although once human they now could be described as monsters. You'd think I'd agree, seeing as I ran away from them. But from where I stand, it's Humans who are the monsters.Complete
