“So here’s the file that almost killed me, Director. I won’t bore you with the tally of databases plundered, light-years jumped, or cute, sniffling orphans created in its compilation – our fee already reflects Level of Difficulty.”

Public Safety Announcement: If zombies aren’t your thing - or if you need to sleep tonight, you should stop now! Seriously, don’t go any further, return to your life and forget you ever knew that this amazing book existed.
Up until a few months ago the worst thing in Kady and Ezra’s existence was their recent breakup. However, after a – mostly – unprovoked biological attack plus a more traditional invasion by a rival company on their illegal mining colony, a month’s long evacuation across the galaxy, a rogue AI, and a large number of lies, manipulations, and propaganda from the people in charge of this disaster of an Evac, Kady and Ezra may be the only people each other can trust. Especially when it may be up to them to save what’s left of the fleet and perhaps the rest of the galaxy from a mutant zombie-like virus that could bring them all to the brink of extinction.   
Told through a series of interviews, video transcripts, maps, blueprints, and instant-messages, plus a series of beautiful illustrations created from the words of the story itself (typography) this unique dystopian sci-fi novel is sure to delight.
If you loved this title, don’t forget to check out the other two novels in the series Gemini and Obsidio!
