Battle Lines: Book 3 of Reanimated Nation

BATTLE LINES
Book Three of Reanimated Nation
The dead are changing.
Months after the destruction of the great horde at Two Creeks, the people of Rebels Gauntlet have accomplished what few thought possible. Farms are producing food. Trade routes connect surviving communities. A regional alliance stretches across the Tennessee hills. For the first time since the fall of civilization, humanity has begun rebuilding.
Then the reports start arriving.
Across the growing survivor network, communities upload disturbing footage of infected unlike any seen before. They drink from streams. Feed on crops. Heal damaged tissue. Move with frightening speed and coordination.
And worst of all…
They are learning.
When a cavalry patrol is ambushed by infected that appear to have selected terrain, concealed themselves, and waited for the perfect moment to strike, Jackson “Jax” Sheridan realizes the war has entered a new phase. The enemy is no longer a mindless horde.
It is becoming something else.
As thousands of evolved infected march south toward the fragile settlements of the region, Jax and the leaders of twenty-four survivor communities assemble the largest army formed since the collapse of the United States. Veterans, farmers, horsemen, mechanics, radio operators, and ordinary citizens gather to make a stand in the valley of Two Creeks.
For Dr. Rebecca Mace, the battle carries a deeper terror.
The more she studies The Cull, the more she becomes convinced that the infected were never truly dead at all. The virus that destroyed the old world may not be reanimating corpses—it may be creating an entirely new form of life.
And if she is right, humanity is no longer fighting a plague.
It is fighting its replacement.
Battle Lines is a gripping post-apocalyptic survival thriller filled with large-scale battles, evolving biological horror, resilient communities, and the desperate struggle to rebuild civilization before it is overtaken by a new predator.
