Tankbread 02 Immortal

Read Tankbread 02 Immortal Storyline:

Nine months after the
Courier sacrificed himself to destroy the Adam and reduced the intelligent
evols to shambling, mindless zombies, Else is preparing to give birth to the
son of the man she loved.

The child is born during
a terrible storm, and feral zombies attack Else’s house in the Queensland bush.
She must battle zombies, crocodiles and the elements to get her newborn son to
safety. The child is lost when Else’s small boat is swept away on flood waters.
She joins forces with an Aboriginal hunter called Jirra to track the boat down
the river to the sea – hoping that her baby is still alive.

Together they discover
that the child has been taken by the Sea People. Human survivors that live on a
derelict ship anchored off shore.

Else continues her search
– reaching the ship and discovering that a rag-tag tribe of human survivors
live below decks, building their own mythology under the iron rule of the evol
Captain and crew. Most newborns are given to the crew – the stem-cell rich
infants are enough to keep the evols functioning as intelligent dead.

Else encounters the
different factions living in the superstructure, the Holders, The Engineers and
The Fishermen. The first half of the book comes to an explosive conclusion as
Else rescues her son and destroys the ship.

In part 2 Else finds
herself the unwilling leader of a band of survivors who have not been on land
in years. She decides to lead them to Mildura, where she hopes that Sister Mary
will have a place for them.

The journey across the
wasteland of Australia is hard and Else must learn to be a leader while
struggling with her own demons and doubts. As the numbers of survivors grow
Else is forced to make hard decisions. The sanctuary of Mildura is not as she
had hoped – the scientist Donna is recreating the Tankbread programme – and
wants to use Else and her son as tissue for experimentation.

After a hard fought
battle against Donna and the hordes of dead, Else leads her growing tribe of
survivors to a new life – and in her son she sees hope for a future.
