Synopsis

Book 1: After Z For a decade, the world has known about the Immuno-Degenerative and Epidermal Decomposition Virus: Strain 2 (ImDED2), which turns the dead into cannibalistic zombies. Despite government efforts to control it, the virus finally unleashes a global pandemic. Lucky winners of a Powerball jackpot, Ryan Maxwell uses the family's newfound wealth to build the ultimate survival bunker. Follow the Maxwells and friends as they live through the end of the world, wondering if money can truly buy their safety after the apocalypse arrives. Book 2: After Z Part 2 Six months have passed since the global outbreak of ImDED2 on New Year's Day 2020. The Maxwell family and their friends have survived the initial onslaught in their high-tech bunker. Now, they must venture out into a devastated United States in search of family and friends whose fates are unknown. Ryan’s quest tests his resolve as he faces the horrifying new world, questioning how many people have survived and what kind of sacrifices are necessary to endure. Book 3: After Z Part 3 The group’s search for Ryan's parents leads them on a treacherous cross-country journey to Dallas, Texas. Along the way, they endure loss and gain new allies. The third After Z installment focuses on the dangerous trip back to the security of the Bunker. Along the way, the group of survivors discover a surprising and horrifying new depth to the zombie apocalypse. Not all zombies are created equal...
