Shaun Mason no longer has much drive. He still runs the news organization he built with his sister, but the work has lost its urgency, and poking at the infected dead is no fun now that he has lost so much.

Then a CDC researcher turns up at his door. She has faked her own death, and she has brought a ravenous pack of zombies with her. Her news is that the monster who attacked Shaun and his team may be down, but the conspiracy behind it is still alive.

Shaun takes to the road with a shotgun to find whatever truth he can. The trip puts him in the path of the same forces he has been avoiding since his loss.

This is the second Newsflesh book, a sequel to Feed, written under the name Mira Grant. It is a zombie thriller set in a world shaped by a virus, where politics, social media and bloggers all feed into the story. Expect a grieving narrator, a conspiracy plot and a fair amount of gunfire.
