Dying to live : a novel of life among the undead

"At the end of the world a handful of survivors banded together in a museum-turned-compound surrounded by the living dead. The community established rituals and rites of passage, customs to keep themselves sane, to help them integrate into their new existence. In a battle against a kingdom of savage prisoners, the survivors lost loved ones, they lost innocence, but still they coped and grew. They even found a strange peace with the undead. Twelve years later the community has reclaimed more of the city and has settled into a fairly secure life in their compound. Zoey is a girl coming of age in this undead world, learning new roles--new sacrifices. But even bigger surprises lay in wait, for some of the walking dead are beginning to remember who they are, who they've lost, and, even worse, what they've done. As the dead struggle to reclaim their lives, as the survivors combat an intruding force, the two groups accelerate toward a collision that could drastically alter both of their worlds"--Cover.

  • ""In a world overrun by the living dead, one band of survivors built a community with a strange sort of peace with the undead. The dead were contained, but not exterminated. Now they've exiled four people--two undead, two alive--into the wilderness outside the city walls. Lucy, a beautiful zombie overwhelmed by her desire to kill and feed, keeps herself just barely under control around her living companions. Truman, a gentler and more reasonable zombie, looks at the living with something close to disinterest. Rachel and Will have trouble understanding and trusting one another--let alone their undead companions. When disease threatens one of the outcasts, the four unwisely seek help in a city filled with things they had forgotten in their simple existence together: safety, good food, comfortable lives, cruelty, apathy, and greed. One of them will not survive the encounter, and the rest will be sorely tested in this strange new world of physical depravity and spiritual death. When innocence and corruption meet, the outcome is never what anyone expects."--p. [4] of cover."

  • "Jonah Caine lebt alleine in einer von Zombies bevölkerten Welt, ohne eine Erklärung für die brutalen Schrecken um sich herum zu finden. Nach Monaten ziellosen Umherirrens trifft er endlich auf eine Gruppe weiterer Überlebender, und nun scheint sich sein Dasein zum Guten zu wenden. Zusammen mit seinen Freunden baut er ein kleines Reich des Friedens auf, das jedoch ständig umkreist wird von gnadenlosen Menschenjägern. Als sie von einer weiteren Gruppe Überlebender aufgespürt werden, erlebt Jonah, dass der Untot nicht der einzige und bei weiten nicht der schlimmste Schrecken auf Erden ist, denn Menschen können böser sein als jeder wandelnde Tote ... Einer der besten und erfolgreichsten modernen Zombie-Thriller aus den USA. David Moody: "Eine beklemmend neue Welt ... eine eindrucksvolle, originelle Vision über die Zukunft der gesamten Menschheit. Sehr blutig, brutal und heftig. Ein scharfsinniger Roman, der den Leser zugleich zum Nachdenken anregt und vor Ekel schüttelt.""
