THE TOX SHOT 7: Dead in the Water

They finally found a place to stop running. Now they have to survive it.

After a brutal journey south, Joel and the Wanderers have reached the Gulf Coast battered, exhausted, and carrying more survivors than ever before. For the first time in months, there are signs that civilization hasn't completely disappeared. Military forces are still fighting, communities are still holding on, and somewhere along the coast there may finally be a place worth calling home.

But reaching the Gulf doesn't mean they've reached safety.

The infected are changing again, adapting in ways no one thought possible. The water that should provide a barrier may no longer protect them, and survivors are beginning to appear from places Joel thought had been lost forever. Meanwhile, what remains of the military is stretched dangerously thin, trying to defend thousands of people while holding together the last pieces of a country that barely exists.

For Joel, Terry, Lisa, and the rest of the Wanderers, the possibility of a permanent home brings a new kind of fight. They aren't just trying to survive another day anymore. They're trying to build something worth surviving for. But every new arrival brings another mouth to feed, another story to question, and another reminder that the living can be every bit as dangerous as the infected.

The Gulf Coast offers food, water, shelter, and something they haven't allowed themselves to feel in a long time: hope. It also leaves them with nowhere else to go when that hope begins to unravel.

They crossed a dying country to find a home. Now they'll have to fight to keep it.

THE TOX SHOT 7: Dead in the Water continues the relentless post-apocalyptic survival series with brutal action, evolving infected, military battles, unexpected reunions, and the found family readers have followed across a shattered America.

If you enjoy fast-paced zombie fiction with unforgettable characters, desperate survival, military action, dark humor, and enemies that refuse to stay predictable, the fight is far from over.

Perfect for fans of Mark Tufo, Jonathan Maberry, Nicholas Sansbury Smith, Kyla Stone, and Brian Keene.
