NOTHING CAN STAY HIDDEN FOREVER...

During the Soviet-Afghan war an elite team of operatives were trained in the mountains of Afghanistan. Loyal to the Provisional Irish Republican Army, they were known only by their codename, Black Shuck.

In the years that followed — betrayed from within by the internal power struggles of the IRA — the team members were hunted down. Three survived, fading into the turbulent streets of Northern Ireland. To this day, their identities remain a mystery — but nothing can stay hidden forever.

For years, Declan McIver has lived under the radar — married to a beautiful woman and operating a successful business — but that life is about to change. When a planned meeting with an old friend goes horribly wrong, Declan finds himself on the run from a shadowy conspiracy that will stop at nothing to keep their evil intentions a closely guarded secret.

To survive, he'll have to rely on long dormant training and reach deep within himself to a place and time he'd hoped to never return. As his past is laid open for the world to see and events spiral further out of control — who will win and at what cost?

[close] Daniel Fisher is sick. When he awakes from a hypnotic delirium; he is in the hotel room where he has been living for the last ten months on work assignment. As he recuperates, he discovers that the power is out, communication is impossible, and he is almost completely alone in the world. He has survived a sickness that has claimed nearly everyone around him and he is eight hundred miles from home. As he sets out across the countryside to discover the fate of his family he encounters other survivors who have shared the same illness, and who are now trying to reconstruct their lives based on the assumptions that each holds about what happened; what it means to them; and how best to rebuild their lives. They will all discover that the world, without our complex network of food and supplies, has become an unregulated frontier: It is unpredictable and dangerous. In order to survive Daniel must learn to adapt to the shifting conditions of a constantly changing landscape of characters, interacting with those he can, defending himself against those he must, and discovering the measure of the man he is.

Trapped inside, the pilot tosses a metal canister leaking a black gas free of the plane. Those who breathe in the gas undergo a strange and terrifying transformation. A short while later, they die. Unfortunately, they don't stay dead.

As night falls and a storm rolls in off the ocean, the living dead spread across the island like a plague. Before long nowhere is safe, including the hotel where you've been staying. All that matters now is finding a way off the island before you fall prey to the hungry dead. Or become one of them yourself.
