Dead America: The First Week is the starting point of Derek Slaton’s zombie apocalypse saga. The nine-book sub-series covers the initial outbreak across multiple American locations, with entries focused on the Carolina front, El Paso, Portland, and the heartland.
The sub-series sets up the broader Dead America timeline, establishing the scope of the disaster and introducing the regional storylines that will carry through later sub-series.
