Zombie World — Samantha Hoffman

Sam and her group are on the road to Montana, searching for the potential cure that will end the world's suffering. They meet new friends along the way, but trouble soon arises in the form of Dr. Richards -- the scientist responsible for the outbreak. They've agreed to help him, but it soon becomes clear that this man is dangerous in his own way. His lack of empathy towards anyone he deems beneath him is only the tip of the iceberg, and the group is sickened to learn the purpose of the initial disease and the plans Dr. Richards had for it.

Tension begins to mount between the group and the good doctor after the loss of one of their own, and it all comes to a head as the cure is perfected. With the cure in hand, the group must brave the dangers of a city crowded by the undead in order to save it. Several trials and losses await them on their journey to spread the cure, but the group pushes onward, refusing to give up in the hopes the outcome will all be worth it in the end. But will it?
