accomplishedKellis-Amberlee unified the world in a way that nothing had ever unified it before, or ever would again. Cities burned. Nations died. Tokyo, Manhattan, Bombay, London, all of them fell before an enemy that could not be stopped, because it came from within; because it was already inside. Some escaped. Some lived. All carried the infection deep inside their bodies, deep inside their very bones. They carried it with them, and it lived, too.
The Rising was finally, fully underway. Mothers mourned their children. Orphans wailed alone in the night. Death ruled over all, horrible and undying. And nothing, it seemed, would ever make it end.
RISE UP WHILE YOU CAN.

I loved Countdown, it made me so much more excited about DEADLINE and also gave me a way to channel my "I'm waiting for this awesome thing to happen!" energy. It was a total highpoint of my day, every day, for the last month. Thanks so much for giving us this glimpse into the Newsflesh world--I loved it, and I'm so happy I got to read it.
Now I just have to finish out my workday (difficult! Brain is fixated on zombies!), and go pick up DEADLINE on my way home!
