Publisher's summary

More undead and even more disasters occur as the Chamber, all the president's men, Elliot, the Tall Man, and the Twin Falls survivors, plus new arrivals, rendezvous in the same place and time—Prince George. Can they work together to survive, or will the close proximity of so many lead to their downfall?

The United States government no longer exists, the streets are in turmoil, and half the US burns. The president has fled Washington amid the upheaval of the undead pandemic while the members of the Chamber, the true evil behind the abominable plague, have also decided to seek refuge. Be it fate or coincidence, the Chamber and the president's group intersect at Prince George, where Elliot, the Tall Man, and the other survivors from Twin Falls have now gathered. They have no knowledge of who the visitors are—could it be a rescue?

The Twin Falls survivors aren't the only ones who rush out to greet the new arrivals as thousands of foamers, the walking dead, also descend on the airport. It was at this point the Special Forces team, who arrived with the Chamber, came in handy.

As the world plunges toward the brink of extinction, there remains only one question: Who will survive?

Can your plan survive first contact?

This third installment of the Toward the Brink series is just as action-packed as its predecessors. From the opening at the airport where Elliot and his group are fighting for survival when the aircraft carrying the members of the Chamber touches down amid their creations you get the sense of a karmic event. Along with the confrontations each faction must endure outside forces come into play bringing in to focus the old maxim that every plan is a good one until the first contact with the enemy. Along with all the action there is plenty of interpersonal interaction between and among the group members that further develops the characters thereby creating a deeper understanding of each and their motivations. My review is based on listening to Kyle Snyder’s excellent narration of this excellent story.
