Summary:

Once upon a time, in a land blighted by terror, there was a very clever boy. The people thought the boy could save them, so they opened their gates and sent him out into the world. To where the monsters lived.

Set before and in the same world as The Girl With All The Gifts, this one follows a group of soldiers and scientists traveling out from London to find anything they can that will help create a cure to the plague. The team is traveling on the Rosalind Franklin, Rosie for short, and tracking down cache's made by an earlier expedition to see if any of the environments proved inhospitable to the cordyceps (zombies) as well as collecting tissue samples from Hungries, people who have been infected and changed.
