Year nine of the apocalypse. Two hundred survivors. Seventy-two hours of fuel.
Captain Marcus Kane commands the SS Resilience, a cruise ship that has become humanity's last floating sanctuary in a world overrun by the dead. But sanctuary is dying. With fuel reserves critical and supplies exhausted, Kane faces an impossible choice: watch his people starve, or risk everything on the most dangerous mission they've ever attempted-a massive supply run into the zombie-infested ruins of Boston Harbor.
As Jack Harper leads a scavenging team into the heart of a dead city, those left behind must defend the ship against threats both external and internal. The undead aren't the only danger. Political fractures threaten to tear the community apart. Moral lines blur when survival demands the unthinkable. And a mysterious radio signal suggests they may not be as alone as they thought.
In year nine, the question isn't whether they'll survive the next crisis. It's whether survival itself is worth the cost.
A novel of leadership, sacrifice, and the hollow watch we keep when civilization has fallen.
