Synopsis

Leading the U.S.S.Nimitzsurvivors has forced Father Xavier Church to make some hard decisions, but he's protected his flock. Only, his fortress is about to fall, and, this time, he might not be able to save them all . . . Most people lost everyone they loved to the walking dead, but Evan Tucker didn't have anything to lose. The folks on theNimitzare the closest family he's ever had. He'll fight to his last breath to make sure nothing comes between them-no matter whether its the undead or the living . . . Coast Guard captain Elizabeth Kidd has always been a consummate professional, the opposite of her cruel pirate ancestor of the same name. But the Omega Virus didn't just change people into zombies; for some, the change was more subtle, and much more nefarious . . . As the safe-haven of theNimitzis besieged by vicious marauders and terrifying Hobgoblins, they come up against the most deadly obstacle they've faced yet, one they have no chance of defeating-the cruel whims of nature itself . . . Praise for the Omega Days novels 'Absolutely a no-holds barred, teeth-gritting, white-knuckle experience.' SF Revu 'Chilling.'Publishers Weekly 'Plenty of mayhem and drama.' Monsters and Critics 'Nobody writes an urban battle scene quite like Campbell does . . . Hands down, one of the shining stars of the zombie genre.' Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author ofThe Savage DeadandDead City
