		<description><![CDATA[Zombie apocalypse. The scenario has been reworked again and again, and has become pretty predictable. Something spreads through the population, turning almost everyone into shambling, undead creatures in search of braaaaains. A ragtag group of unlikely companions hole up together to beat back the hoard. The odds are stacked heavily against them.

(It&#8217;s feeling a little redundant saying that&#8230;) Essentially, it&#8217;s a story of imperialism, told for a young adult audience with a penchant for romance.
