One escape route. Twelve hours to get to it. Half a million zombies in the way. Jen Reed survived the zombie outbreak with a little luck and a lot of sarcasm. Now hundreds of miles away, she joins a government scientist studying the virus, but the pathogen finds them and soon they're up to their necks in hungry walking corpses. To survive, they must travel through a zombie-infested city to catch the last plane out before the government drops a nuke to stem the epidemic. Can Jen overcome a ticking clock, relentless zombies, and her own smart mouth to get out of the city before it's turned into a radioactive crater? The Gauntlet is the second book in the Zombie Uprising Series. If you like flesh-eating corpses, riveting action, and a lead character who doesn't take crap from anyone, you'll love The Gauntlet.
