Book excerpt: Twelve-twenty-two PC—the day all citizens of the Unified Global Government were granted temporary labor reprieve to observe the coronation ceremony of Supreme Chancellor, Helton Quiver. That day, the PrP6 plague came to New Chicago, turning all infected into undead, giggling cannibals. James Duke and his wife, Amy—both members of the underground Subversive organization, “Serfs”—must escape the city before a PCWO Hit Squad, or the giggling hordes, can kill them and their unborn child. Will they discover who or what is responsible for the PrP6 outbreak? Do they even want to?
