Wohin willst du rennen, wenn es keinen Ort mehr gibt, an den du fliehen kannst? Der Großteil der Weltbevölkerung ist entweder tot oder stirbt an einem Virus, der dem sehr ähnlich sieht, den Bree und Nate versucht haben zu zerstören–und nicht alle von ihnen bleiben tot. Von Zombiehorden gejagt, fliehen sie aus der Stadt mit dem, was von ihrer fröhlichen Bande von Außenseitern übrig ist. Doch selbst wenn die meisten von ihnen den ersten Tag überleben, sind sie noch lange nicht in Sicherheit–denn es gibt keine sicheren Orte mehr.

Ich bin fast gestorben. Praktisch alle anderen um mich herum sind gestorben. Jetzt bleiben die Toten nicht mehr tot. Irgendwie habe ich es geschafft, im Epizentrum der Zombieapokalypse eingesperrt zu sein. Oh du verdammte Scheiße!

The hunt is on - and there are only a million zombies standing in our way. Once more reunited after the successful attack on the slaver camp, Bree and Nate have a new goal in life: to hunt down the man responsible for turning hundreds of soldiers into mindless worker drones, and repeatedly drugging the arena fighters - Nate and Hamilton chiefly among them. This could turn out to be their most dangerous mission yet, and not even the support of old friends and new allies alike might be enough for them to succeed.

In our complex world, facilitation and mediation skills are as important for individuals as they are for organizations.
