Mo Collins survived the beginning of the zombie apocalypse by staying on the replica pirate ship, the Viva Ancora. But after a chance meeting with another survivor named Smokes, everything changed. 

Mo has become The Hero in a story seemingly channeled by Smokes. Following a prewritten script, Mo and Smokes gathered a crew of typical zombie-apocalypse survivors. Well, typical except the zombies are called peevies; are not dead but blue; naked, shit-spewing, infected, rapidly evolving monsters that will rip you apart and eat you slowly.

With the help of The Expert, The Tech, The Old Friend, and The Oracle, they defended their island home from betrayers, zombie hordes, and villainous dictators. Oh, they also survived a plane crash rescuing Mo's brother. Being The Hero is hard work.

Now on a quest to find a cure, follow Mo and his crew on their continuing adventures, as they tempt fate and chart their way down the river. What new adventures will they encounter? What new dangers will they find? Will they find new friends? New foes? Will Smokes find more Newports?

Meanwhile, back in the tranquil oasis of Guntersville, something dark and sinister has crept in - a wolf in sheep's clothing, a vile monster that hungers for the treasure that is humanity's best hope for the future…the children. 

Can good triumph over evil? Will this wickedness spread? Who will stand against the malevolence? Is all hope lost? 

It's the end of the world as we know it. 

Come join us, friend, on this continuing wild ride. In a place where the zombies bite...fish bite...life always bites...and sometimes, people bite.

Welcome aboard, friend, to The Still Alive series.
