The Civil War: a Narrative by Shelby Foote
The Second Seal is opened.The Krypteia Conspiracy continues. As the world Spirals out of control, the unlikely band of heroes - Alexis Kennedy, Petr Zhugravinsky, Michael Dalacourt and Owen DiConte - are on the run. Pursuing them relentlessly is Hade, the architect behind the supernatural onslaught that has brought the world to its knees. He has singled them out and will push them to their very limits and beyond. Clinging to long-lost scripture revealed by an ancient man known only as John, they will struggle against each other, battle an army of the undead to survive, and come to question everything they have ever believed in - all the while knowing good is no longer certain to overcome evil. Who will be Hade's king, and who won't survive to see his kingdom rise up among the ashes of a broken world?
Shelby Foote was an American historian and novelist. He was born on November 7, 1916 in Greenville, Mississippi, and attended school there until he entered the University of North Carolina.

In 1953 he moved to Memphis, where he lived for the remainder of his life. Foote was the author of six novels: Tournament, Follow Me Down, Love in a Dry Season, Shiloh, Jordan County, and September, September. He is best remembered for his 3-volume history The Civil War: A Narrative, which took twenty years to complete and resulted in his being a featured expert in Ken Burns' acclaimed PBS documentary, The Civil War.
