OverviewThe Earth's Survivors America The Dead Series Follows a Group of Survivors as they fight to stay alive and make their way out of New York City. The Dead are rising from where they lay in the streets, but it isn't the dead only that they have to contend with. The living too want to kill them...Jake and James were loading up the last of the space that was left in one of the pickup trucks when Dustin came running in their direction.“People,” he gasped, pointing to the side of the building. “People with guns and stuff!”James and Jake both reached inside the truck and grabbed their rifles. James reached out and snagged Dustin by the wrist before he could tear off around the side of the building again.“Calm down… Take a deep breath,” James said in a calming voice. “Where are they?”“Coming into the parking lot… They're on foot,” Dustin said. Both Nell and Holly stepped out of the shattered back door that lead into the department store, their arms loaded down with clothes in various sizes.Jake sighed in relief, reached down and unsnapped the strap that held his gun in its holster. Checked the safety on the rifle, flicked it to off and turned to Nell and Holly. “We have visitors,” he turned to Dustin “Did they see you?”“I don't know… I don't… I don't think so, but I'm not sure,” he answered, still breathless.A frightened look came into Holly's eyes. “How many? Are they armed? When,” she asked?”“Two guys… A couple ladies and some kids… Little kids… And a dog too,” Dustin said. Thinking as he went along. “Okay,” Jake said. “We'll all walk out. Have your safeties off. You may really have to shoot. For Christ's sake don't shoot yourself… Or me... Or one of us. Point at who you want to hit and shoot. Like Katie showed you. But don't shoot unless you have to. Maybe these people are okay.” He waited until everyone had nodded. Nell and Holly took the safeties off their guns, held them briefly, and then returned them to their holsters. Nell kept touching the curved metal butt of her pistol nervously.

Book Description
Donita: The hunger was terrible, all consuming, and it came in crashing waves. The impulse to feed seemed to be the only coherent thought she had. It was hard to think around, hard to think past. It was all she could do not to rush from the trees, find the smell that tempted her and consume it. Eat it completely. Leave nothing at all... It was about an hour and a half past sunset when Mike took over one of the perimeter guard posts from Susan. It was simply the far corner of the garage complex that overlooked a field and the highway beyond it."Quiet?" He asked."Pretty much. The dog... what's that dog's name anyway?" she asked."He doesn't have one," Mike admitted. "We, uh... we just call him The Dog, you know. He survived. He got through it same as us; he made it, you know. He's The Dog." Mike finished lamely."Oh. Sounds like a little guilt there, Mike. Maybe we should all get together and name it," Susan suggested.Mike nodded."Well, anyway... The Dog kept looking off towards the highway. He didn't, like, bark or anything. I thought maybe deer, cows, something else. But with the meat drying, it could have drawn anything at all. The fires and so many people should be enough to keep anything away. Even if it's wolves, they'll probably stay away, right? I just thought you should know about it."Mike nodded. "Could be something, but you're probably right: Most likely it's nothing. I imagine the smell of the meat will draw every carnivore in the area. That's okay as long as they don't try to bother us. There will be plenty of scraps when we're gone."Susan nodded and he watched her walk off into the darkness. He turned his eyes back out over the highway beyond the field.After his eyes became accustomed to the darkness Mike could see the dark shapes of cattle grazing in the field, a few deer mixed in with them. He almost missed the radio call, almost wrote it off as one of their own, until he realized it wasn't."Hello the camp," the voice repeated.Mike unclasped the radio from his belt and raised it to his mouth and spoke. "I guess you mean us," he said more calmly than he felt..

OverviewThe Earth's Survivors America the Dead series follows a group of survivors as the begin to rebuild their lives in a post apocalypse America. The dead are gathering. Not yet strong enough to take the living that remain, but it is only a mater of time before they become stronger. Battles erupt between the living as the struggle to maintain the strongholds they have carved out for themselves, or as they are attacked even in flight. Join them as they search for a place to call home...The smell hit them before they reached the woods.“Jesus,” Aaron said, “What in ...”“Bad, right?” Jeff said. “That's why I wanted you to come along.” He moved his eyes to include Conner, and then further to include Katie and Amy. “That hit me hard, just like it did you....” He walked to the edge of the woods and peered in. “Come on,” he said. “Take a look at this.” He stepped into the tree line and disappeared from sight almost entirely. Just another shadow in the shadows that made the tree line their home.Katie stepped into the shadowed woods and her eyes adjusted almost immediately. Once they did she could see well in the shadowed clearing, and it was clear to her that something had been living here. She stopped, Amy bumped up against her and then pressed her body tightly to her own, burying her face in Katie's neck. “My God,” Amy whispered against her neck. She pulled away a second later and walked quickly back out into the sunshine. Katie looked after her, hesitated, and then went after her. Conner, Aaron and Jeff stood in the shadows looking over the small area that had been hollowed out of the woods.The carcass of a small calf lay rotting a few feet away. The throat torn open, the stomach bloated, swollen, intestines spilling out of her side where whatever had killed her had been feeding. A few feet away a shriveled corpse, whether man or woman it was hard to tell. But whatever had been feeding on the calf had been feeding on the body also. The head had been dragged several feet away. Most of the chest was gone, one arm, and the stomach lay open. A hollowed cavity.Conner raised his eyes and took in the gloom. His eyes searching the area.“Something's been living here,” Jeff said quietly...

Book Description
I guess I always felt even if the world came to an end, McDonald's still would be open. High school sophomore Miranda's disbelief turns to fear in a split second when an asteroid knocks the moon closer to Earth, like "one marble hits another." The result is catastrophic. How can her family prepare for the future when worldwide tsunamis are wiping out the coasts, earthquakes are rocking the continents, and volcanic ash is blocking out the sun? As August turns dark and wintery in northeastern Pennsylvania, Miranda, her two brothers, and their mother retreat to the unexpected safe haven of their sunroom, where they subsist on stockpiled food and limited water in the warmth of a wood-burning stove. Told in a year's worth of journal entries, this heart-pounding story chronicles Miranda's struggle to hold on to the most important resource of all--hope--in an increasingly desperate and unfamiliar world. An extraordinary series debut Susan Beth Pfeffer has written several companion novels to Life As We Knew It, including The Dead and the Gone, This World We Live In, and The Shade of the Moon.

Book Description
Donita New York The fires smoldered but no longer burned. Donita walked down Eighth Avenue towards Columbus Circle. Behind her a silent army followed, numbering in the thousands. From the circle they would take the park. There were thousands of the living camped out in the park. She could smell them on the air that flowed past her face as she walked. They had believed they were safe in their numbers. They had believed that nothing could touch them with their barricades. And for a time that had been true, but that time was passed now. She had left rapid city and begun her walk with only twenty five faithful. Jeff, the big red haired man that she had taken months before, was still with her. One of the twins, and several boys who followed. The others had come to her as she walked. The small towns, and the dead cities along the way, added their contributions from those that had gathered in those places. Many waiting for her. There were dozens of cities they controlled now. Dotted along the route she had walked. Some she had called and set in a place of power with the ability to call more of their own to them. Some had been there waiting for her. All had known who she was, and all had bowed to her power. She had wound up through the southern states, what had been left of Mobile, Alabama had fallen easily, from there they had taken Atlanta, Georgia, and then into the Carolinas, Columbus, Charlotte, Durham, and spreading beyond that into Richmond, Virginia. She had followed the scent of the living from there into the wilderness and looked down on their place of refuge from the ridge tops with her soldiers spread out around her. She had left reluctantly, but with the knowledge that she would be back. A scatter of wrecked and long burned out vehicles partially blocked the entrance. A line of buses blocked the roads and pathways into the park. Sheet steel was welded over the windows. Holes burned through with Acetylene torches every few feet as gun ports. She watched as the barrel of a rifle slipped through a ragged hole in the sheet steel. She looked around at her silent army once more and then thrust her head back, face staring up at the moon, and screamed into the darkening night. As a mass they all ran at the line of buses.

Book Description
Arlene's Journal It's the night before the six will leave to go back to the outside. I think of it that way... The outside. This place is something I have never had. So much love, so much caring, it overwhelmed me for the first little while. That and the other. Having to kill a man. But it was worse for those who stayed behind when we made our way to this place. If they had not stayed to fight the rest of us would not have been able to get away. David told me what it had been like for them. They had to kill too. They had to kill children that were controlled like puppets. Deadly puppets to be sure, but a puppet is a puppet... a slave. And now we're sending them back out again into a world that can't be any better than it was. It's worse in some ways. We didn't have to deal with the dead. The radio tells us they have taken over most of the bigger cities. I just can't imagine it. But We're sending them out tomorrow, and all so that we can live a little better. Nothing that we absolutely have to have. We have everything we could ever need right here. But to live better. To live better we need other things. It makes me wonder if we have changed all that much after all. I hope it is not a move toward the old society. I really hope not. Enough negativity though. They're going. I voted yes too, and there are thing's they will bring back that I asked for too. On a lighter note I think almost every woman in the Nation is pregnant. I guess that's a bit of an exaggeration, but not much. Me, Patty, Candace, Lilly, Annie. Jane, Alice and Amber are pretty sure. There are so many more people here. It seems almost like we grow every week. Maybe we do, come to think of it. Oh and now Molly too, and I wonder who the father is? But how would I ask Molly without sounding too nosy or even insensitive? Babies and more Babies, and thank God for them. They are our real crop. We joke about that, how in a few weeks it will be time to bring in the corn and that's our crop, but our real business, our real crop, is babies. Sandy and Susan are thinking about it too, only they both want to get pregnant. They're trying to decide who goes first. God bless them. Some times I think I am a long way from my roots. In another respect it seems to me that I have spent my entire life trying to get to this place... This condition... And I am so glad that I am here. May God go with ours tomorrow as they go back to the outside. Keep them safe. Bring them right back to us.
