The world didn’t end in a single night.

It collapsed one city at a time.

After the release of the infected the deployment of a world killing EMP sought to finish the job.

America’s power is gone. The old world is dead. And while Russian and Chinese forces carve their way across the ruins, Cotton Wiley and his group are racing toward Houston on a mission that could change everything.

Somewhere inside the fallen city, Doctor Gregory Wilson may hold the truth behind the attack that blacked out the nation.

He may also know something even more dangerous: A way to give the infected their humanity back.

But Houston has become a graveyard filled with the Wasted—the black-eyed remnants of a failed cure that turned hope into horror.

Now Cotton’s group is trapped between invading armies, ruthless survivors, and the infected swarming the ruins, all while chasing answers that powerful people are willing to kill to protect.

In a country with no power, no government, and no mercy left, survival is no longer enough.

Because whoever controls the cure… controls what remains of humanity.

The Dead and the Wasted is the thrilling third installment in the Among the Infected series - raising the stakes in a new take on the Zombie Apocalypse genre that readers have described as “outstanding” and “completely different from any other zombie book I’ve ever read.”
