From the Bookshelf of Apocalypse Whenever…

[close] This book is post-post-apocalyptic; the zombie apocalypse came and went, leaving in its wake, large swathes of uninhabitable real estate marked as Black Zones on the map. Enter this, a reality game show, CEMETERY GATES, where contestants test their mettle against the undead.

In this near-future dystopia, Dex got caught stealing, and his punishment will be to lose on Cemetery Gates, but Dax isn't who they thought he was.
