EMPIRE by David Dunwoody
The outbreak began in 2007. It’s now 2112.
The crippled U.S. government is giving up its fight against an undead plague. Military forces and aid have been withdrawn from the last coastal cities, leaving those who choose to stay in the “badlands” defenseless against hordes of zombified humans and animals.
