Synopsis

The sequel to Rise of the Dead is here with even more guts and more zombie action!

If there was one thing Scout Johnson never learned, it was when to quit. Before the dead rose, Scout was a working mom, doing anything she had to do to take care of her family. It was never easy, but she always came through. That all changed when corpses began returning to life. After the dead took everyone that she cared for, Scout struggled to find a reason to go on and to keep fighting each day.

While traveling through the Ozarks in search of save haven with a group of survivors, Scout suddenly finds herself in a battle with both the living and the dead. Facing impossible odds, her only hope hinges on a secretive CIA agent, a few Navy Seals, and a ragtag group from Chicago that she encounters along the way. Together Scout, Blake and the rest of the cast race across the heartland in order to save themselves and find the answer to stopping the zombie apocalypse before it is too late.

Return of the Dead brings a whole new cast together with the survivors from Rise of the Dead for an epic zombie adventure that is twice as deadly and brutal as the original. The stakes are higher and the threats are even more sinister. Hold on tight and get comfortable being uncomfortable!A violent disaster has caused the dead to rise, but that was only the beginning. Now, society has broken down, the dead control the cities, and what is left of humanity is entangled in a fierce struggle for survival and control. Even facing extinction, mankind still struggles to overcome the ideological differences that have divided the world for years.

When Scout Johnson comes across another group of survivors, she soon finds herself in the crossfire of a bloody battle between opposing factions. One group seeks to find a cure and restore order, while their enemy sees the outbreak as an opportunity to destroy the corrupt system and grab control. Scout must align herself with the lesser of two evils in order to survive, protect those around her, and fight to save what remains of humanity.

With a mix of new and familiar characters, Return of the Dead takes the series into the next phase of the apocalypse with a fresh narrative perspective, while staying true to the classic zombie genre themes.

About this title

About the Author:

Jeremy Dyson lives for one reason. To kill zombies. Until he gets that chance, he occupies his time drinking beer, writing stories, and teaching his children not to go to the bathroom on the floor. So far he has only succeeded in two of those endeavors.
After studying at the University of Iowa, Jeremy moved back home to Illinois, worked on a farm, built websites, made lattes, wrote how-to articles, and took dogs for walks before deciding he should probably do something different. About a year later, his debut novel, Rise of the Dead, was released. The rest is history.
He currently resides in the cozy town of Crystal Lake, Illinois with his wife, two daughters, a pair of scruffy, stinky dogs, and his best friend, Jason Voorhees.
 Okay, I just made that last part up.
