The Battered

A new generation fights back against the undead in the final volume of this zombie horror trilogy perfect for fans of HBO's The Last of Us. Lucas and Lena Morel were children when the zombie plague was first unleashed on the world. Surviving for ten years against all odds, they now lead a small but disciplined team of fighters: a mere eight souls gathered from across Europe, dedicated to salvaging what remains of humanity. Having fought numerous battles together, this brave band has grown into a formidable unit. But they're not the only ones who've gotten stronger and more resilient. The zombie hordes have developed new methods of increasing their numbers-methods that make life in the so-called safe zones increasingly unsustainable.To turn the tide of death, Lucas and Lena must execute a dangerous information-gathering mission across the Adriatic Sea. But as they attempt to learn what they can from the zombie-controlled city of Shkodër, they will discover lessons in monstrosity from an all-too-human past.Following The Stranded and The Lost, and available for the first time in English, The Battered is the climactic final novel in Dinko Skopljak's apocalyptic trilogy.
