The Chronicles of Paul III — Scott M. Baker

Paul Madison and his group decided to leave the temporary safety of the logging camp to search for a more secure haven away from populated centers. Their journey will take them through an apocalyptic wasteland of the living dead with no one to rely on but themselves. As the fight to stay alive becomes increasingly difficult, the morale of Paul's people slowly erodes. When merely surviving from day to day becomes a major challenge, they begin to ask if death is inevitable. Is it even worth staying alive? The survivors need to look inside their souls and find a spark to keep going. However, their resilience is tested to the limits when they encounter a horde of deaders in the Appalachian Mountains.
