The Last in Line (The Eternal Flame Trilogy, #1) (ePub)

It's the 1980's —

Pac-Man, MTV, Ronald Reagan, E.T. flew across the moon and Michael Jackson turned into a werewolf in "Thriller." Apple releases its Macintosh computer while the HIV/AIDS virus spreads worldwide.

Elsewhere, a mysterious demonic cult, long silent for a millennia, rises from the shadows to reveal their diabolical agenda.

A radicalized terrorist group detonates deadly biochemical bombs all over the world.

The Sanctity Virus — a deadly plague — kills thousands, causing the dead to rise, feasting and contaminating others, sending the planet into chaos and darkness.

In England, one survivor of an ancient, secret group of silent protectors, calling themselves the Keepers of the Eternal Flame, stands blood-sworn to defend the world from the evils of the Inferno.

In New York, all seventeen-year-old, social misfit, Warren Brennan wants to do is graduate, get out of his backwoods, western New York town and draw for Marvel Comics. But the best-laid plans of chubby nerds who are suddenly thrust into the role of fighting for humanity's survival often go awry when an odd, overpowering yellow-tinted rainstorm engulfs the world. With it, the deadly virus swiftly spreads around the globe, killing and mutating untold millions, creating an exponentially growing army of the undead.

Now, Warren, along with a motley crew of survivors, his friends from school: Dex, Arnie, and Jack; Sam, an inner-city girl; a gruff, Vietnam vet, turned rock DJ, Capt. Al; and Elton, a strange Englishman who shows up out of nowhere, spouting about ancient prophecies, demons and something called the Children of the Light, all fight to survive the deadly masses swelling the streets of Rochester, New York. The growing undead and a group of supernatural assassins track Warren and his friends with one goal in mind: Find the Children of Light.

Can Warren and his friends survive long enough to discover the answers about who and what is chasing them and what, or who are the Children of Light?
