Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Rule Number One: Trust No One.Rule Number Two: Never lose your boots.Six months after the world ended, Jack Steele has broken both.In the "Afterlife," where the dead walk and the living hunt, Jack is a ghost moving through the wreckage. He has one goal: survive long enough to reach the suburbs of Benton and find his daughter. He has a pipe spear, a pair of Red Wing boots, and a set of rules that have kept him breathing while millions died.But solitude makes a man soft. When Jack spares a young girl named Trudy on a lonely stretch of highway, he thinks he's found a travel companion. Instead, he wakes up barefoot, weaponless, and staring down the barrel of a local warlord named Gator.Thrown into a scrapyard prison where the walls are made of crushed cars and the guards are drunk on power, Jack has to relearn the hardest lesson of the apocalypse: Charity gets you killed.To get back to his family, Jack won't just have to escape. He'll have to burn Gator's kingdom to the ground, outrun a herd of the hungry dead, and reclaim the only thing that matters in a world gone wrong: his boots.They took everything he had. Now he's coming to take it back.The Next is a gritty, high-octane side story in the bestselling Battlefield Z universe.
