Overview The Earth's Survivors Books follow a group of survivors in
a post apocalypse world where even the simplest things are hard to
come by. The dead have risen and they are gaining intelligence as
they evolve. The living are splintered and as eager to kill one
another as the dead are to kill them... They had buried him in a
small cemetery they had built a mile from the town to bury a few
wanderers who had found the town in a half dead state and not
lasted long after they did manage to find it. Daniel was the first
of their own they had found a need to bury. They had buried him in
the early morning after finding him dead in his bed. It had been a
horrific scene. They had thought quite possibly it had been wolves.
After all the windows had been open to let in the summer breezes.
The wolves, they had seen them out by the swamp, could have easily
come through the window. Daniel had been savaged. His throat ripped
open. They had buried him in the early morning and by that evening
twenty six wolves had been dragged back into town and lined up;
stretched out in front of the church building. If there were any
left lurking around Rapid City or the swamp beyond, they had hidden
themselves well. Then evening had come and the whole world had
changed. It was not far into the night when the noises had begun
out at the cemetery. In the desert noises carry a long way. And
Rapid City was in the desert despite the river. The river was new.
It had never been a part of this country at all. They were
somewhere in what had once been Texas, as close as they could
figure anyway. They had been unsure of what the noises meant at
first. What they had decided was that there should have been no
noise at all out there in the darkness. But they knew that, and
knowing that didn't really answer the question, so six of them had
taken their rifles and gone out into the darkness, following the
noise to it's source. When they had arrived at the cemetery the
grave had been opened. But not just opened. Dug up, and dug up from
the inside outward. There was no way they could deny it, although
they did until a few nights later when Daniel himself had come
back...
