The Infected Trilogy

Show Notes

Tim, Cooper, Paulius, Cooper, and Margaret survived the Battle of Chicago, but their ordeal isn’t over yet. Now Paulius and Tim will present Clarence with an impossible decision. Murray Longworth remains in the White House, in a Washington D.C. that is under siege by the converted and about to fall. Meanwhile, Steve Stanton deals with the fallout of that same battle — his slim victory and a pending air strike leave him with hard choices.

Fire Engine 98 has picked up the survivors of the Chicago Cataclysm and is rumbling toward the extraction point. Helicopters are on the way to rescue Dr. Feely, Clarence Otto, Cooper Mitchell, Bosh, Klimas, and Ramierez, but only if they can survive the final wave of the converted that are hot on their tail.

The fire engine is tearing through the streets of Chicago, hosing down the converted as it does. It’s heading to Tim, Clarence, Cooper, Bosh, and Roth, but will it make it to them before the converted swarm into their store and butcher them all? Meanwhile, a Harley-riding Steve Stanton desperately searches for a way to kill his enemies before his kind is wiped out.
