In a bleak, zombie-ridden future, a small settlement fights for survival and looks to a teenager to lead themâ€¦,The land is ,contaminated,, electronics are ,defunct,, the ,ravenous undead ,remain, and life has fallen into a ,nasty ,and ,brutish ,state of nature. ,Welcome to Bridge City, in what was once Arkansas: part medieval fortress, part Western outpost, and the precarious last stand for civilization. A ten-year-old prodigy when the world ended, Gus is now a battle-hardened young man. He designed Bridge City to protect the living few from the shamblers eternally at the gates. Now heâ€™s being groomed by his physician mother, Lucy, and the gentle giant Knock-Out to become the next leader of men. But an army of slavers is on its way, and the war theyâ€™ll wage for the cityâ€™s resources could mean the end of mankind as we know it. ,Can Gus become humanityâ€™s savior? And if so, will it mean becoming a dictator, a martyr . . . or maybe something far worse than even the zombies that plague the land?
