Deadworld

Sequel to This Is How It Ends The world went to hell on Black Monday and, against all odds, Billy Gunn and Rory Wilder survived. But as the months drag on and gigantic alien ships arrive, new threats in the form of new alien species emerge. Holed up at Rory's grandparents' farm in the woods, they run out of food and supplies and are forced to make a trip into the city. The once-flooded landscape is now a frozen waste of mud and debris. It will be their last trip. The alien ships are gigantic and defy explanation and understanding. They block the sun and leave the savaged earth shrouded in darkness. What do the aliens want? Why did the vast majority of the population die when they arrived? And why won't they stay dead?

High school juniors Billy Gunn and Rory Wilder return from a weekend camping trip to find a mysterious plague has wiped out their small town of Port Moss, Mississippi. The question of why is only the beginning, especially when the dead refuse to stay dead. For Billy and Rory, figuring out what happened is the first priority, but complications quickly set in. Not only do the dead rise, but a freak storm threatens torrential downpours as winter looms. And enormous ships appear in the sky, bringing with them alien visitors with technology never seen before. Left without electricity and modern conveniences, Billy and Rory must figure out a way to navigate horrific zombies, advanced alien life forms, and apocalyptic storms, as well as deal with their growing love for each other in a world gone mad.
