Description

The explosive conclusion to the Newsflesh trilogy from New York Times bestseller Mira Grant — a saga of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all.

The year was 2014. The year we cured cancer. The year we cured the common cold. And the year the dead started to walk. The year of the Rising.

The year was 2039. The world didn't end when the zombies came, it just got worse. Georgia and Shaun Mason set out on the biggest story of their generation. They uncovered the biggest conspiracy since the Rising and realized that to tell the truth, sacrifices have to be made.

Now, the year is 2041, and the investigation that began with the election of President Ryman is much bigger than anyone had assumed. With too much left to do and not much time left to do it, the surviving staff of After the End Times must face mad scientists, zombie bears, rogue government agencies-and if there's one thing they know is true in post-zombie America, it's this:

Things can always get worse.

    This is a fantastic series! It is not your everyday zombie book, it has emotion, depth, evil, corruption and a bit of sci-fi science. It's what happens when people in power get greedy, those that suffer the consequences, and how adaptation to new social norms conflict with what has been engrained into our DNA. It's a must read series, spooky in parts, sad in others with a bit of humor tucked in for good measure. Excellent!
  • I loved this series!

Thank you Ms Grant for writing these so well and so accurately from the science to the weapons were spot on! Please don't let it end here!!!

    This is easily one of my favorite books of all time. I love the action, the suspense, and the attention to detail. Mira grant made this zombie thriller series amazing by breaking it down to a science, the same thing J.K. Rowling did with magic. This book is absolutely a must read, but read the other two first
  • Awesome! Must read!
