Mankind was at its pinnacle. Reaching for the moon and the stars. Then, something went wrong. The dead arose. Governments desperate to stop the zombie virus, used everything in its arsenal.Including nuclear weapons.But the virus had already spread. Carried by every living man, woman, and child. Some took shelter in massive FEMA shelters. But it didn't take long before one would die and turn into a zombie. Then another, then another, then another. The dead first in small groups. Then large masses. Then hordes in the millions.Humanity was at the brink of extinction. From the sand and ashes of the ruins of mankind. Tribes of rig runners in armored cars and trucks moved cargo, guarded convoys and proved that life was possible on the eternal roads. Now generations after the outbreak. Young Tyler from Clan Guardian has come of age and must make his journey into the Sacred Yard of the Tribe of 42.In the yard is either a life on the road in a rig. Or death in the sands. His challenge, like all that enters the yard is life or death. For the road is life. If he succeeds, he will take his place as a member of Clan Guardian, Tribe 42.If he fails.Death.
