Dead reckoning: navigating without instruments, using only the distance you’ve already traveled.
Sean Ryder got his daughter out. He left a nineteen-year-old kid behind to pay for it.Three days after escaping a fortified compound in the Virginia mountains, Sean is trying to build something resembling safety. Then a scarred pit bull limps out of the forest on three good legs — fifty miles of afflicted-infested wilderness behind her — and the reunion reminds him of the debt he still owes.
Jake Burge opened the gate so Sean’s family could run. Now Jake rots in a cell. And the man running the compound has just discovered how to aim the dead.
A pheromone system that turns afflicted into weapons. Sentries that don’t eat, don’t sleep, can’t be reasoned with. But when a demonstration goes wrong and the compound’s architect is bitten, his transformation into something between human and monster makes him more dangerous than the army he built.
Sean and an old friend are going back in. Fifteen volunteers against three hundred. A nineteen-year-old kid with a fire axe holding the gate from the inside. But breaching those walls means leaving his daughter undefended — and a second force is already moving toward the settlement.
Some debts can only be paid in blood. Not all of it yours.
