Nobody knew where the virus came from. FOX News claimed it had been set loose by terrorists, MSNBC said sources indicated it might’ve been stolen by cult Christian types fixated on the Book of Revelation. While every TV station debated the cause, the world erupted in flames.

Pregnant school nurse Harper Grayson had seen lots of people burn on television. The first person she saw burn for real was in the playground behind her school. Now she is infected and has only one goal – to survive long enough to give birth. But the fire is spreading and civilization is being reduced to ashes . . .
