Gangs are coming to threaten the fragile recovery being made by isolated communities in a world where the Red Plague has decimated mankind to the brink of extinction. The search for food in graveyard England has forced warring Midlands gangs to unite and Dawn Kane’s trip to her dead parents’ home has unknowingly placed her and baby Phillip right in their path. There will be no help from husband, John, whose coastal scouting trip turns into a nightmare when he encounters fellow survivors and joins their grotesque battle against hungry predators. The gangs sack Cheltenham before heading for Swindon and John finds himself in a race against time to reach Dawn before the slaughter begins.
