Fightback, when the zombies' intelligence is increasing and they have formed themselves into a society, and an army.

Meanwhile, `Zombie King' Thomas Moreby is making his own plans to rule the United States as his control increases across the country. Moreby claims to have `foreseen' his victory, but there are emerging factions in his own ranks who are starting to question their role in the war between zombies and humans.

And how does the mysterious New World Pharmaceuticals fit into the New Zombie Order?
