That Which Separates Man

Veterinarian Lexi Jackson understands disease better than most people. But when a violent outbreak begins spreading across Texas, medicine quickly gives way to survival.

Boone Jackson taught his daughter how to stay calm under pressure. Now he's doing everything he can to keep her-and a frightened young boy named Ethan-alive long enough to reach whatever remains of civilization.

Bones knows engines, rifles, and hard work. But grief has a way of following people, even to the end of the world.

Alan Hawthorne may be connected to the outbreak in ways no one yet understands-not even himself.

And Wash has spent his life in the sky. With the world collapsing beneath him, all he wants is to find his granddaughter, Clara.

As the infected spread and society falls silent around them, these strangers are forced together in a desperate fight to survive. What begins as a battle against the infected slowly becomes something far more human: a struggle to hold onto compassion, trust, and connection in a world where fear is quickly replacing all three. Bound together by grief, exhaustion, and fragile hope, they must learn to rely on one another long enough to outrun the collapse happening around them-and the terrifying truths waiting ahead.
