Fifteen-year-old James is in a blind panic. Regaining consciousness after his escape chopper crashes, he's horrified to find no sign of his faithful dog... or his sister. Enraged when he learns she's been kidnapped, he enlists the help of a grizzled sniper seeking redemption.

Bloody and broken, James undertakes a desperate race to rescue the girl and the cure her cells contain before she's auctioned off to the highest bidder. But his road is rigged with lethal traps laid by hungry chasers that have somehow learned to use the brains they've been craving.

Can James outsmart the ravenous predators to save his sister... and the world?

Evolved is the nail-biting fifth book in the Dead State post-apocalyptic series. If you like crafty zombies, resilient humans, and gritty rebellions, then you'll love Derek Shupert's chilling epic.
