The Dead Sands: 1 (The Last Well) - Tapa blanda

Sinopsis

North Africa, June 1942. The British line has broken. The dead are getting up.

Cut off in the chaos of the retreat from Gazala, Sergeant Tom Ashby and the battered remnants of 7 Platoon stagger into the oasis town of Qasr el-Mahdi with a dying lorry, a German prisoner and half a bottle of water each. The town has a fort. It has a well. And it has no living people left - except a nurse, an old Senussi rifleman and a handful of children barricaded in the dispensary.

When the sun goes down, the townspeople come back.

They are fast. They are silent. They can only be stopped with a bullet to the head. And they are always, endlessly thirsty - drawn across the desert by the smell of the last sweet water for sixty kilometres.

In the hills to the east, a German doctor has opened a sealed Roman tomb and let something ancient out. Now every night brings more of the dead to the walls of Forte Mahdi, the ammunition is running out, and the only way to survive may be to march straight into the camp of the man who started it all.

The Last Well is the first book in The Dead Sands, a gripping World War II zombie horror series of desperate sieges, unlikely alliances and soldiers holding the line when there is no line left to hold.

Perfect for fans of military horror, weird war fiction and zombie survival thrillers.
