200 years after the rise of the dead society is reduced to segregated, fortified villages where the living fight the dead in arenas for sport, and life is considered cheap. Empire Road follows the journey of a fast talking circus proprietor, as the first major war between communities threatens to overtake them all. Author Roy Maloy presents Empire Road as his first major work of fiction. In amongst a prolific writing career, publishing a number of biographies and true crime journals, Empire Road truly is a sophisticated book that will captivate.
