Alex, a resourceful 17-year-old running from her incurable brain tumor; Tom, who has left the war in Afghanistan; and Ellie, an angry eight-year-old, join forces after an electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky and kills most of the world's population, turning some of those who remain into zombies and giving the others superhuman senses.

A cataclysmic event. A dramatically changed world. A zombie army. Can three kids really survive... and who can they trust? Alex has run away and is hiking through the wilderness with her dead parents' ashes, about to say goodbye to the life she no longer wants to live. But then the world suddenly changes. An electromagnetic pulse sweeps through the sky zapping every electronic device and killing the vast majority of adults. For those spared, it's a question of who can be trusted and who has changed... Everyone still alive has turned - some for the better (those who acquired a superhuman sense) while others for the worse (those who acquired a taste for human flesh). Desperate to find out what happened and to avoid the zombies that are on the hunt, Alex meets up with Tom - an Army veteran who escaped one war only to find something worse at home - and Ellie, a young girl whose grandfather was killed by the electromagnetic pulse. This improvised family will have to use every ounce of courage they have just to find food, shelter, while fighting off the 'Changed' and those desperate to stay alive. A tense and involving adventure with shocks and sudden plot twists that will keep teen and adult readers gripped.

WOUNDS is the eleventh compilation of stories from the original, bestselling e-book series Star Trek: Corps of Engineers, which chronicles the assemblage of Starfleet technical personnel, a group of specalists consisting of extraordinary humans and exotic aliens that can build, program and figure out everything from alien replicators to doomsday machines.

Plus, Corsi, Soloman and Gomez are haunted by demons from their past. But the greatest threat of all comes from a visit to space station Deep Space 9, where a fissure has opened up between realities, endangering the very existence of the Bajoran system - and also stranding Doctors Lense and Bashir on a war-torn planet from which they may never escape...
