"Before WICKED was formed, before the Glade was built, before Thomas entered the
Maze, sun flares hit the earth and mankind fell to disease. Mark and Trina were
there when it happened, and they survived. But surviving the sun flares was eas
y compared to what came next. Now a disease of rage and lunacy races across the
eastern United States, and there's something suspicious about its origin. Worse
yet, it's mutating, and all evidence suggests that it will bring humanity to its
knees. Mark and Trina are convinced there's a way to save those left living fro
m descending into madness. And they're determined to find it if they can stay al
ive. Because in this new, devastated world, every life has a price. And to some,
you're worth more dead than alive."
