The Gospel of Z

In the postapocalypse, you take what you can get. It's been nearly a decade since Z Day, when a plague turned humans into the voracious undead. Once a high school biology teacher, Jory Gray now works on an assembly line, making genetically modified "handlers"—the only beings who can control the zombies.

There's not much to live for these days, so when the woman he loves leaves him for the promise of the Church of Z, Gray has nothing left to lose. Or so he thinks. When Gray gets demoted from his factory position, he becomes truly expendable, and is sent out to blow-torch the infected. A dead-end job if there ever was one.

As Gray struggles to stay human in a world that wants to make him a monster, the military and church duke it out for the future of humanity, using survivors as pawns in a hell on earth where zombies are the least of the creatures to be feared.
