Gabriella 'Gusty' Gomez and her friends, along with Benny and his crew, have just survived a massive attack on New Alamo by the Night Army-- a mix of mindless shambling los muertos and sentient half-zombie ravagers. She is also reeling from the revelation that the residents of her town were the lab rats of the biological testing facility linked to creating the most dangerous zom, the Raggedy Man, who controls all of the living dead. Now the real Night Army is coming, and this time, it will be a handful of survivors against seven billion zombies. -- adapted from jacket.
