They’ve been transformed into perfect killers. They are Predators. A manifestation of Su’s life work and intended to be poetic justice for the murder of his family, these monsters now rampage across the country’s apocalyptic landscape. Nothing can stop them. Li’s hatred for Tusk set his army on a course that will lead them through America’s Heartland. But the city of Hope lies in their path, and her citizens are in no mood for more monsters arriving on their doorstep. They’ve worked and sacrificed to build a community, a haven. Are its defenses capable of fending off true Predators to save their home, their lives? Abby unlocked something in Abe, a basic instinct to protect and…dare we say, nurture the youth of Hope. To give them something to live for beyond just surviving, to give them hope, a future. Has it made him soft? Operation Blackpool continues, and Malloy’s latest target is a refinery south of Abe’s home. If they secure it, they’ll fuel the resistance for years to come. It is vital, but can it be as easy as showing up and planting their flag? It has to be, because Doctor Abram may have cracked the code that ends this scourge! Has the fungus changed Gage? Is he now the guy who hides that he’s been bitten until WHAM—he’s a zombie eating your face off? Will Sharon and her family make contact with the people of Hope? Has every morsel of bacon on Earth spoiled? What happens when the Predators stumble upon a maximum-security prison and its thousands of inmates? Is Abe too old to play a young man’s game? Will he ever remember your name
