Demetrios P. Chaparas: Black Monday, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

In the tough city of Youngstown, Ohio, a desperate group of survivors must unite against a viral outbreak that transforms ordinary citizens into bloodthirsty monsters. Among them are Angelina Baker, a determined police officer protecting her young daughter; Richard Hamil, a troubled army veteran struggling to safeguard his family; Danny Rogers, a resilient gas station attendant; Allan Boyle, a resourceful college math professor, and his devoted wife; and John Mills, a rugged outlaw biker leading his motley crew through the chaos. As societal norms crumble, alliances shift. As the group embarks on a perilous mission to flee the urban chaos and seek refuge deep within the heart of Allegany National Forest, their collective fate teeters on a knife's edge. With the specter of winter looming large and their dwindling supplies adding to the urgency, they must navigate a treacherous path spanning a hundred miles of unforgiving terrain. Every step brings them face to face with relentless hordes of the undead, alongside desperate and terror-stricken survivors driven to extremes. Amidst this landscape of peril, they must also contend with ruthless human adversaries lurking in the shadows, ready to exploit any weakness. Their journey becomes a crucible of survival, where courage and resilience are their only weapons against the encroaching darkness. Among their challenges is Lawrence County Sheriff Max Daniels, whose outwardly pleasant demeanor belies a steely resolve to maintain absolute control over his territory. While he presents himself as a benevolent protector, Daniels harbors a ruthless streak toward those who dare challenge his vision for security. His relentless mission: transform the idyllic streets of New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, into a fortified bastion where outsiders and dissenters are met with uncompromising force. As he tightens his grip on power within the town's makeshift walls, Daniels becomes an increasingly formidable obstacle for our protagonists, testing their principles and forcing them to confront the true extent of his tyranny. Will they have what it takes to make it to their destination alive, or will the odds be stacked against them? Only time will tell.
