Zone One

<p><b>From the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>The Underground Railroad</i></b><br><br>A pandemic has devastated the planet, sorting humanity into two types: the uninfected and the infected, the living and the living dead. After the worst of the plague is over, armed forces stationed in Chinatown€s Fort Wonton have successfully reclaimed the island south of Canal Street€"aka Zone One. Mark Spitz is a member of one of the three-person civilian sweeper units tasked with clearing lower Manhattan of the remaining feral zombies. <i>Zone One</i> unfolds over three surreal days in which Spitz is occupied with the mundane mission of straggler removal, the rigors of Post-Apocalyptic Stress Disorder (PASD), and the impossible task of coming to terms with a fallen world. And then things start to go terribly wrong€¦<br><br>At once a chilling horror story and a literary novel by a contemporary master, <i>Zone One</i> is a dazzling portrait of modern civilization in all its wretched, shambling glory.</p>
