Introduction
It's been thirteen years since the Last Pandemic. No one knows where it came from, but it changed the world as it spread like wildfire in areas with major international traffic: London, Paris, New York, and L.A. In the blink of an eye, the cities were filled with rabid, blood-thirsty undead. Small nuclear weapons were used on large populations in hopes of containing the infection, but only resulted in further destruction and despair. In the end, only those lucky few living in the middle of nowhere with a stockpile of ammunition had a fighting chance. Now, pockets of humanity endure in the flyover states of rural America, waging a constant war for survival. To make matters worse, the undead enemy is beginning to evolve, showing signs of intelligence and cooperation as evidenced by the bloody decorations they paint on their bodies and by hunting in packs for their next human victim. In this desolate and dangerous landscape, a lone woman known only as Omaha wanders with her trusty horse and a pair of samurai swords, waging her own private war against impossible odds. For years she has stayed away from human settlements in order to avoid facing her mysterious past. However, along the way she accidentally befriends a young boy from the small camp of Hovenweep in southern Colorado. Will her secret past finally catch up to her? Will she travel to the rumored sacred city of Gehenna where she might find lasting sanctuary against the undead? This is a perilous journey across post-apocalyptic America where there will be death around every corner and surprises at every turn.
