“We have a cure. South of Atlanta, Wachovia Tower, CDC site B. Need assistance, position compromised. Doc, TF Phoenix sends…AR. BT BT.”

In a desperate bid to survive a world forever altered…as the hordes of bloodthirsty undead now dominate the ravaged U.S. landscape…a Navy commander on a reconnaissance mission for basic supplies stumbles upon an incredible secret about the possibility of reversing the pandemic’s devastating effects that have annihilated everything in its path. Now there’s no turning back—with only his lifelong-honed skills and the aid of an extraordinary construct, he leads a one-man rescue mission to find Task Force Phoenix and humanity’s final hope. And the agonizing, split-second decisions he must make along the way could mean living one more day—or surrendering to the eternal hell that exists between life and death.


Praise for Ghost Run:
Day by Day Armageddon: Ghost Run is a deeply satisfying read for any fan of survivalist horror, zombie fiction, or military heroes. With its rousing pace and compelling narrator, it's best savored at a breathless sprint. The only real surprise is how this series has reached its fourth installment without a movie or TV deal being set in motion—it’s certainly cinematic enough in its action-packed flourishes.”
