Publisher's Summary

Winter is coming. With the zombie apocalypse raging all around them, and the last vestiges of government teetering on the verge of collapse, Army veteran Lee Riker, his younger sister Tara, Steven “Steve-O” Piontek, and their Trinity House companions are working feverishly to fortify their New Mexico redoubt.

After a deadly encounter with survivors looking to settle a score, a skirmish that left some of the Trinity group nursing new wounds - physical and mental - cracks are beginning to show in their fragile alliance.

While part of the group is off foraging for supplies in the Santa Fe suburbs, one member is scouring the airwaves with Trinity’s long-range communications gear. Searching for answers to a question she has yet to divulge to even those closest to her, Lia instead intercepts a plea for help that she finds impossible to ignore.

As Lia lobbies the others to accompany her on a rescue mission, another member discovers, in the bunker beneath Trinity, a map marked with mysterious symbols. Believing the symbols denote sites that may contain supplies necessary to ride out winter, several members volunteer to accompany Lia on a mission they hope will kill two birds with one stone.

Will the group cover the hundreds of miles of zombie-infested Southwest desert in time to help the person in distress?

Will the map prove to be boon or bust?

Will Lia’s one burning question finally be answered?

With danger lurking around every corner, will the group allow their differences to draw them even further apart, or will they get over themselves - long enough to survive one more day in the zombie apocalypse?

Come along and find out!

Like it a lot

I just finished the police. This series has really sucked me in. I like the way the author makes so much happen in a day or two of the storyline. I am excited for the next book!

Fantastic Series of Books!

Loved the books - best since Zombie Fallout by Mark Tufo. The narrator did a phenomenal job, and I loved the different voices he used for each character. I only hate that it had to end!

Great series! I've been hooked since the beginning

What really makes the series is the characters. In a real life zombie apocalypse Id like to join them, ya know, if they were real 😁

The Last Riker Book For Me

This 4th edition is the weakest of the Riker books. New characters are good additions, but they don’t stick around long enough to develop their character.

The bathroom humor is present and turned to eleven in this book. Steve-o is portrayed as a stinky bafoon that farts and poops everywhere. This is a recurring theme in these books. It is a sad portrayal of someone with Down syndrome.

Probably a good place to stop reading this series.

Road Trip Zombie style.

Cultural and geographic references plus the narrators calm progressive and spot on characters make this another view into a post apocalyptic America that I enjoyed very much.

usually love these books

I have loved this series, but i felt like this installment was just filling, the other three books took us somewhere, the story lead to a good plot, so much more could of been done with the lazurus bunker and that story arch but this book just filled time, bit disapointed
