Publisher's summary

Presidents, premieres, prime ministers, entire governments disappeared instantly, like a fragile house of cards in a hurricane. Some hid deep underground or holed up in fortified strongholds, but most were swallowed up by the dead, never to be heard from again.

Created in a biosafety level four lab in Wuhan, China, a bioweapon meant to sicken and quickly kill an enemy population—leaving intact infrastructure, resources, and vast swaths of fertile farmland—instead causes the infected to die and return as mindless, flesh-eating zombies.

When the bioweapon escapes the BSL-4 lab and all efforts to contain its rapid spread within Hubei province fail, the Chinese Communist Party leadership dispatch agents to the United States with one mission: to level the playing field by seeding an unsuspecting American population with what will eventually be known worldwide as the Omega virus.

As the zombie scourge spreads like wildfire, the People’s Liberation Army takes advantage, landing sizeable ground forces on America’s shores.

Now, nearly four years later, having lost many loved ones and brothers in arms to Omega, Captain Cade Grayson—father, Patriot, Delta Force commander—has one goal in life: to arm his soon be 17-year-old daughter, Raven, with all the knowledge and skills necessary to survive their rapidly changing world and live up to the Bird of the Apocalypse nickname bestowed upon her by her godfather, Duncan Winters.

While on a foraging mission, Raven presses her father to finally make good on a promise made to her in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.

Taking advantage of a mandatory stand down from commanding his Pale Riders team, Cade leads a solemn father daughter mission that will take them through hundreds of miles of western New America—a yet to be conquered frontier teeming with zombie hordes, roving bands of opportunist breathers, and the scattered remnants of a mostly defeated invading army.

To make an already daunting mission even more dangerous, the Graysons have reason to believe they are being stalked by an unknown entity, their motives unclear.

Will Raven gain the skills necessary to help her finally begin to emerge from under her father’s shadow?

In the end, will a promise fulfilled heal old wounds and further strengthen familial bonds?

Or will the infamous Mr. Murphy once again throw a monkey wrench into the operation and further delay much needed closure?

Come along and find out who has what it takes to survive the zombie apocalypse.

Bird of the Apocalypse

Raven has grown so much and I love the character development she has had over the years. Cade is still Cpt. America he does what he does best. The story was deep on meaning that anyone can become family and that’s when we stand up the most. Another great story from Mr. Chesser

Yes! I love it!

I love that this book follows right along with all previous books in this series. It was a wild ride as I did not know what to expect with each encounter, hoping my favorite characters survived the many circumstances they find themselves in. Excellent listen, as the narrator is both captivating and consistent with character tones and voices. Highly recommend!!!
