Desperate to make her dream a reality, she agrees to the assignment. When Maria is summoned by the Science Warfare Division of the government to a top secret meeting, she is informed that the Division has developed a serum that will enable her to walk among the scrags undetected so that she can neutralize them. She dreams of life outside the walls, but she fears that it is an unattainable fantasy. She sustained critical injuries, but she survived. She had participated in a previous mission into the valley to try to rid the valley of scrags, but the attempt failed. They keep watch atop the walls for any breaches in the perimeter. She is a constabulary officer, and she is a part of the army that is responsible for protecting the city from the scrags. There are some people, like Special Sergeant Maria Martinez, who have never known life outside of the walled city. To conserve power, there are nightly black-outs. Because they no longer have access to the resources in the valley, their supplies are dwindling.
The residents of the bastion are prisoners. Due to what was believed to be a mechanical malfunction, the gate to the wall in the valley was opened and the scrags overtook the valley. An immense 10-story wall, which was 12-feet thick, encompassed the fortress to protect the city from the Inferi Scourge (aka "scrags"). The valley also included the city's water and power sources.
The bastion was capable of housing 2,000,000 people and included a valley for cultivation so that the residents could be self-sustaining.
About 40 years prior to the current setting of the story, a walled city was established and Earth's remaining survivors were flown there. The Last Bastion of the Living: A Futuristic Zombie Novel is a post-apocalyptic story, where zombies (now named "Inferi Scourge" because they were infected by the Inferi Scourge Plague Virus or "ISPV") have taken over the world. Rhiannon Frater has done it again! She has totally sucked me into her zombie-infested world!! I did not receive any compensation for my review, and the views expressed herein are my own. I received this audiobook from the author in exchange for an honest review.
