Abandoned Hope — L.T. Ryan

Eight years is a long time. Long enough to prepare for the end of the world.

Plagued by unsettling dreams and memories of events he's been told never happened, Sean Ryder spent those eight years readying himself and his family for the event.

Four hundred miles to the south, former SEAL Team 8 member Charles “Turk” Turksen knows there is no escaping the Afflicted. So he plans to outlast them.

With the outbreak threatening the United States, Sean receives a call from a ghost. A ghost who can provide his family with a chance at survival.

Both men have made their preparations. They've enacted their plans. Will it be enough to survive when the Afflicted come?
