Of all the rotten luck, their world, and th... more »e future of the American West, is forever changed when a strange and sudden swarm of zombies--called deaduns--invades town on the hunt for some human-sized vittles. FantasyBookReview.com says: "The writing is very visceral, RAW IN A STYLE SIMILAR TO CHUCK WENDIG...There is action aplenty, there is furious gunplay, there are characters knee-deep in the blood and guts of their eviscerated friends. This is a high octane story, but what makes it stand out among the rest is the drama between the human characters..."
