The final instalment in series one of Matt J Pike's epic zombie adventure

In the months since the Zombie RiZing unfolded, Beath has proven herself to be a natural leader. She's fended off ruthless fellow survivors, kept her friends alive and fed, brought down vicious monsters and shown bravery well beyond her age. But in an epic showdown with crazy warlock Karl Dreeks, it's time for her biggest test of all - one that will decide if they all live or die.

But Beath hasn't come this far to lose. And now that her magic powers have finally manifested themselves in spectacular fashion, Dreeks might just learn to rue the day he underestimated the strength and power of five teenagers and their teacher.

If only they knew his defeat was just the beginning.

Like the legendary R M Williams, Matt was born in Jamestown in rural South Australia. But that's where the remarkable similarities between the two end. While Reginald went from bushman to world-renowned millionaire outback clothing designer, Matt is a complete dag who was lured by the city lights of Adelaide. Kindergarten in the big smoke was a culture shock, but it was here he first discovered his love of storytelling. In high school that love found an outlet in a series of completely unflattering cartoons about fellow students and teachers alike. He survived long enough to turn his art into a successful career in multimedia design but, like a zombified leech, the lure of the written word gnawed at him, forcing him to pen his first novel, the award-winning sci-fi comedy epic Kings of the World. It was followed the next year by Amazon Australia dystopian sci-fi best-seller Apocalypse: Diary of a Survivor. Matt donates part proceeds of each book sold to find a cure for Rett Syndrome, a neurological condition that affects the youngest of his three children, Abby. As a gorgeous Rett angel, Abby cannot walk, talk or use her hands in a meaningful way. So not only is each book purchase a ticket to fantastically rounded, character-driven, hilarious and poignant sci-fi awesomeness, it also wraps you in a warm feeling of knowing you've made a difference to people who deserve your help the most. Like the zombified leech, it's a no-brainer.
