But as supplies run low and civilization crumbles around them, Martin must come to a realization - God has abandoned them. But why?
Is there any chance of hope in this new world? Is there any chance for deliverance?
Modern horror legend, Brian Keene returns to his fan-favorite universe of The Rising with a tale of faith, loss, and zombies.
