About this ebook
The explosive conclusion to the Newsflesh trilogy from New York Times bestseller Mira Grant — a saga of zombies, geeks, politics, social media, and the virus that runs through them all.
The year was 2014. The year we cured cancer. The year we cured the common cold. And the year the dead started to walk. The year of the Rising.
The year was 2039. The world didn't end when the zombies came, it just got worse. Georgia and Shaun Mason set out on the biggest story of their generation. They uncovered the biggest conspiracy since the Rising and realized that to tell the truth, sacrifices have to be made.
Now, the year is 2041, and the investigation that began with the election of President Ryman is much bigger than anyone had assumed. With too much left to do and not much time left to do it, the surviving staff of After the End Times must face mad scientists, zombie bears, rogue government agencies-and if there's one thing they know is true in post-zombie America, it's this:
Things can always get worse.

The ending is awful and not particularly believable even after the suspension of disbelief this series requires. Should have stopped with Feed; the trilogy as a whole falls far short of the opening novel.

Well I just finished this book for the 4th time now. It's 1:20am and I'm in bed crying. If you ever need to read something that has a little bit of everything I would recommend in this book in a heartbeat. Whether or not you enjoy the undead, government conspiracies, and just a grand ol' time in general, read this book. And "rise up while you can." Thanks |-/

This series is an intelligent and witty spin on the zombie genre. The world and characters that Grant has created are deep and rich. I hope there will be more books in this Newsflesh world!
