The world is ruled by the dead. They are intelligent and cunning. They brought humanity to the brink of extinction by enslaving the survivors. They raise people like cattle, in special camps, replenishing dwindling supplies of fresh meat. There is nowhere to hide from their death grip...But one ship continues to ply the oceans, the last hope of humanity. Foraging for food in short raids on port cities, the Queen's crew fights for survival until the day comes when humanity regains its strength and reclaims the world that was taken from it.
