The third installment in the Sovereign Spirit Saga is “Deluge of the Dead,” written by David P. Forsyth. The narrative broadens the scope of rescue efforts and demonstrates that survivors of the zombie apocalypse face dangers beyond cannibalistic undead. Against tremendous odds, the main characters, Scott, Carl, and their allies, fight to protect a bastion of civilization. The levels of cruelty and inhumanity that some of the survivors experience are further explored in the book.
