    About this ebook

    After an epic siege the last enclave in the British Isles has fallen and the few remnants of the community try to escape across the zombie infested roads. Every town, every city and every refuge has been overrun or destroyed after ten years of struggle and war and there are few options remaining. With fuel and ammunition almost gone what will the survivors do and where can their battered convoy go?

    Part of the Zombie Dawn series of short stories and full length novels that chart the events of Zombie Apocalypse throughout the world. This series is written by the renowned authors of the ZOMPOC manuals 'How to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse' and 'Weapons & Tactics for the Zombie Apocalypse'.

      DEAD END (ZOMBIE DAWN)

      English/Welsh border, United Kingdom

      The sun had now set and the group had been on the road for nearly two hours without a break and it was starting to show. The dull yellow lights of the tired convoy made slow, wearied progress along the debris strewn highway. The tiny group of battered, smoking vehicles were all that remained of the once strong compound known as the Green Zone, the last substantial refuge in the entire British Isles. After a long and bloody siege only a dozen vehicles had been able to try and escape from the burning town and of those only six had made it to the walled perimeter. In the ensuing violence only five vehicles were able to fight their way to the safety of the road outside. It was a terrible event that so few people escaped from the population of the two hundred and twelve survivors of the zone. This was a tiny fraction of the brave souls who had stood against the horde for an entire decade and the morale of those that were left was low. The road led away from the zone and deep into the heart of what was the lightly populated region of Wales. The roads were barely navigable and signs of life and civilisation had long vanished in the battles, raid and fires that had ravaged the region over months and months. They had limited supplies, weapons and ammunition but even worse, they didn’t have a plan or even a real objective to aim for.

      At the head of the column of vehicles was the battered and heavily scarred 70s Land Rover. It used to have a vivid beige paint scheme but in the last years it had been repainted and modified to make it more useful for the survivors in the Zompoc. The front of the vehicle was hidden by a massive iron plough that served both for protection of the vehicle and also to help clear dirt and debris. Unlike most Land Rovers this one had been specifically chosen by Nick, the de-facto leader of the group, due to the fact that it was
