"I didn't see Rebecca die the second time."

David Blake thought losing everything in the Fall Creek outbreak was the worst day of his life. Then he learned the truth: the U.S. military has been hiding zombies for over a century, and they're losing the war.

Conscripted by AEGIS-an elite unit fighting "walkers" since 1872-David joins Major Kimberly Barnes and her squad in humanity's secret battle for survival. But as outbreaks accelerate and governments crumble, he discovers the real enemy isn't just the undead. It's the conspiracy that kept them hidden, the traitors selling secrets to foreign powers, and the impossible choice of who lives when civilization falls.

From infected zones across America to underground bunkers built for the chosen few, End delivers military precision, heart-pounding action, and characters you'll fight alongside until the last page. This isn't another tale of helpless survivors-it's the story of professionals facing the apocalypse with courage, duty, and devastating competence. Begin the completed trilogy that readers call "the best zombie book since World War Z." The entire series is available now, so you can binge all three books without waiting.

Industry Reviews

"This is not your typical zombie book... The character development is in-depth enough that you actually care what happens to them and more importantly, toward the end of the book, I could see what the author wrote as something that would actually happen if this were a true story. I read at least a book a day of all genres and I can honestly say that I am amazed that this is the first book Jason Kristopher has written." - 5 stars, Amazon Review

"The best zombie book since World War Z... Like the inimitable World War Z, the book eschews gore for more of an adventure model. Overall, this book deserves every one of the four stars I've given it." - 4 stars, Amazon Review

"Kristopher's invigorating prose and storytelling abilities blew me away as I read. He's created an extremely scary novel intertwining real world current events with the zombie apocalypse... I was fascinated as I read, the wheels of my mind and imagination working constantly to process the wonderful images, explanations, and concepts presented throughout this fictional piece." - 4 stars, A Book Vacation

"The Dying of the Light: End was page after page of excitement, action, and intrigue. The story had a great balance between character development and plot and the writing was nearly flawless. This book did a great job of making the most plausible case for zombieism that I've ever seen. I even sacrificed sleep on quite a few nights to read just one more chapter." - 5 stars, Sift Book Reviews

"I love Kristopher's matter-of-fact style of writing... this, my friends, is how zombie fiction deserves to be written!" - 5 stars, The TBR Pile
