An Army vet with CTE and a prosthetic leg, a barista on the run, and a middle-aged Country Western music aficionado with Down’s syndrome come together during the zombie apocalypse. What could go wrong?

The moment the Ronin Protocol was enacted, cell phones across the United States began receiving messages sent weeks ago—during the onset of the zombie apocalypse, when cellular networks the world over were struggling to keep up with demand.

Having arrived back at Trinity House in Santa Fe, New Mexico, after escaping from a Cold War-era bunker in the mountains of Las Vegas, Nevada, James “Shorty” Twigg learns that one of those messages is from the daughter he thought was lost to him forever.

To fulfill a pledge Shorty made as the Romero virus grounded flights and the living fled cities overrun by dead things hungering for human flesh, he must travel back East with Lee Riker and a small group of volunteers to his daughter’s last known whereabouts, to find her and bring her home to Trinity House—dead or alive.

Standing between home and where Megan’s cell phone last pinged are hundreds of miles of hostile territory overrun by zombies, fractured military factions engaged in armed conflict, and survivors desperately trying to protect their own redoubts.

With the odds against them, will the group survive one more day in the zombie apocalypse?

Come along and find out!

Great book!

Sir you have done it again this was a great installment on this series I can’t wait for the next one and you definitely have a way to leave me hanging off the edge of the cliff

Another Fantastic Entry in Riker's Zombie Journey

It is an engaging story, with great characters. Once you read one, you'll be motivated to go back and start with book one in the series. And you'll be happy that you did.

Deep character development

Has to be the best zombie apocalypse series I have listened to and plus the narrator has a great voice can wait for the next book!!!

💥 Amazing!💥

Best ZA character lineup ever! Well worth the wait. When I saw this release I literally dropped everything (what a mess!) and listened almost non stop. Shawn Chessers only problem is that he doesn’t write faster! Looking forward to the next one!

Narration is spot on! I loved it!!

You fall in love with the main characters

I loved how the author included someone with special needs and the main character was a car guy. One of the best zombie novels out there.

This was a great follow up to the Riker family survival story. Looking forward to the next one. The addition of the new characters was brilliant, they will add new possibilities of story lines.
