The only thing more dangerous than zombies is the truth.
In the ten years since zombies killed the world, Jory Gray has found exactly one person who matters. Her name is Linse. But when he wakes to find her gone, to join the church, his world falls apart all over again. Jory’s suicide mission to save her will lead him deep into the restricted zone, into the bowels of the military, the underbelly of the church, and, worse, it will give him a glimpse into a past that’s supposed to be ten years dead, a past still contained in a document that never should have existed: The Gospel of Z.

In the postapocalypse, you take what you can get: “A must-read story and essential addition to the zombie canon” from the New York Times–bestselling author (LitReactor).
It’s been nearly a decade since Z Day, when a plague turned humans into the voracious undead. Once a high school biology teacher, Jory Gray now works on an assembly line, making genetically modified “handlers”—the only beings who can control the zombies. There’s not much to live for these days, so when the woman he loves leaves him for the promise of the Church of Z, Gray has nothing left to lose. Or so he thinks.
When Gray gets demoted from his factory position, he becomes truly expendable, and sent out to blow-torch the infected. A dead-end job if there ever was one. As Gray struggles to stay human in a world that wants to make him a monster, the military and church duke it out for the future of humanity, using survivors as pawns in a hell on earth where zombies are the least of the creatures to be feared . . .
