Dead Highways by Richard Brown
The apocalypse began inside a secret government laboratory in Nevada. One week later, most of the world lay in a deep sleep.

But not for long.

Reprogrammed with a single purpose, the newly infected awaken and begin migrating across the country like soldiers on a mission, killing anything that crosses their path.

For Jimmy, his mundane existence of working at his grandmother's used bookstore is upended by the end of the world. One minute he's reading science fiction and fantasy novels, wishing he were the hero of the story, the next he's traveling as part of a ragtag group of survivors, fighting to stay alive and searching for answers.

Why did this happen?
Where are the infected going?
And what is guiding them?

But on these dead highways Jimmy may discover something even greater—his place in the world. Even if everyone else is gone.

A journey of epic proportions, Dead Highways is a character-driven adventure with plenty of suspense, humor and plot twists to keep the reader turning the pages. The engaging narrator always keeps the action fresh and entertaining.
