Publisher Description

A chronicle of survival in a world of the living dead.

There is no Heaven or Hell; there is only blood and the dust of flesh.

 

The Dead Bear Witness

 

Sentenced to life after a bank robbery gone bad, Cornell thought his worst nightmare had come true-and that he deserved it. After a stint in solitary, though, he learned his nightmare had only started: While Cornell rotted in isolation, all around the world the dead had returned to life.

Inside the prison walls, Cornell should've been well protected.

He didn't reckon on the stone-cold killer who demanded his help breaking out, nor the fanatic warden who forced him to help "save the souls" of other prisoners. He didn't count on being snared in a web of lies, violence, and betrayal. He didn't expect his survival to depend on fighting his way back to freedom before the eyes of the watchful dead. Now as nooses sway over the prison yard, Cornell can almost feel one tightening around his neck, and freedom seems so far away....

“<strong>Fun Zombie Goodness</strong> I’ve enjoyed James Chambers’ stories for a few years now. His work always has strong characters and subtle creepiness. In this one however is a departure because it’s pretty damn bloody on top of some seriously strong characters. Fast paced and fun.”
