Dead Zone Runners

Twenty years after the Collapse, humanity survives in fortified cities separated by the Dead Zones—monster-infested wastelands where the old world's corpse still rots. Runners are the lifeline between settlements: part courier, part scout, part survivor. Marcus Cole is the best of them. He's crossed every zone, outrun every nightmare, delivered every package. He has one rule: never ask what's in the cargo. Then a dying client hands him a seven-year-old girl and begs him to take her to New Haven. Now every faction in the wastes wants her—warlords, cultists, corporate remnants, and things that used to be human. The girl won't say what she is or why she matters. Marcus doesn't care. A job is a job. But the Dead Zones are changing, and the girl might be the reason why. Expect pulse-pounding combat, high-stakes confrontations, and characters pushed to their physical and mental limits. The action sequences are detailed and visceral, with each battle raising the tension.
