    Summary

    Day 1 - a strange fever tears through Eastern Europe.
    Day 3 - airports shut down.
    Day 5 - panic, riots, blackouts.
    Day 7 - cities gone. The dead walk.

    Ghost. Former Task Force 141, operating alone since his squad was killed, finds a woman in a closet armed with a screwdriver and a French accent. Iris Fontaine has no training, no weapons, no plan. She has sharp eyes, a stubborn mouth, and the sense to hold still when she's terrified.

    He doesn't need her. She can't survive without him. Neither of those things stays true.

    What follows is a long walk north through a Britain that's collapsing in real time: undead evolving, survivors turning predator, and every safe place revealing its price. Ghost teaches her how to survive. She teaches him why he'd want to.
