LATE AUTUMN
2006

The day is any day now. The time: 1 A.M.  The place, New York's Downtown University Hospital.

A major pileup on interstate ninety-five has put an already short-handed medical staff into an all out panic as victim after victim show up hanging on to life by mere threads.  Doctor Adam Riker and his staff work frantically to save them  to no avail. Twelve out of sixteen die on the operating tables.
In the back streets across town, Duane Rogers and Chuck Longfellow watch from the shadows as street gangs clash in a deadly battle. As one by one fall, the gangs are unaware of an approaching horror.

The metropolitan area of New York city is home to eight million people. In a very short period of time, most of them will be dead. There's a plague coming and it is like nothing the world has ever seen. This time there will be no cure. No corner of the Earth is unaffected, and precious little time remains as civilizations and the forces of reason collapse. 

Death is no longer a place for peace... It is the dwelling place of demons



From Len,
For those of you still trying to make heads or tails of Jim Workman's fate at the end of Apocalypse End, there will be an area of this novel dedicated to the original "Reign of the Dead" story.  Over the years I've received many letters and emails from readers not quite sure what to think.  Rest assured... You won't question a thing after this.
