Conclusion to the series that began with End (#1) and continued in Interval (#2), and The Walker Chronicles (short story collection)
The zombie apocalypse didn't begin on Z-Day—it's been raging in secret for 150 years. From an 1872 military unit's first walker encounter to Nazi experiments in concentration camps, from Cold War cover-ups to the final days before collapse, these classified stories reveal the conspiracy that doomed humanity. While the world slept, Unit 73 and AEGIS fought a shadow war against the walking dead. Some secrets should stay buried—but like the dead themselves, truth always rises.
The Walker Chronicles expands the universe of The Dying of the Light trilogy, uncovering the untold history of humanity's fight against the walking dead. While David Blake's journey in End, Interval, and Beginning shows the apocalypse and its aftermath, these essential stories reveal the covert battles that raged for decades before Z-Day changed everything. Each tale deepens the conspiracy, heightens the horror, and illuminates the sacrifices made to keep humanity alive.

THE TRUE SAGA OF AN EXTRAORDINARY WOMAN, SET AGAINST THE BACKDROP OF HISTORY
Every Friday for the last 25 years of her life, I had lunch with Charlotte and each week she told me more of her extraordinary story. To all appearances, she was a strong and dignified survivor, with old-world courtesies, a twinkling sense of humor, and a lilting Austrian syntax. Yet deep within, she'd been scarred by a profound personal trauma. Finally, just before she died at the age of 91, she chose to entrust me with this profound secret and all at once I understood how it had affected her entire adult life.

Tense, authentic, compelling – a tumultuous 24 hours in Beijing, as witnessed by those involved.
Each year, howling winds from the Gobi send desert grit swirling into Beijing which then mixes with the existing pollution, causing fluorescent yellow skies and toxic, throat-burning smog. On one such day in March, youthful activists decide to gather in Tiananmen Square right outside the Great Hall of the People where the National Congress is in session. They are understandably fearful of what can happen to protesters in China but none could have predicted the unthinkable scenario and far-reaching climax which takes place during that single 24 hour period.
Based on true experience: During his many years in Beijing, the author experienced every aspect of that vast city, including the climatic conditions described.
This bittersweet chronicle about how a working horse finally gains his freedom was inspired by a real animal and true events, yet its underlying theme is about the universal value of friendship.
The hero is a sturdy draft horse: old, eccentric and irritable. His name, suitably enough, is Groucho. By day, he hauls a tourist carriage around the heritage streets of Montreal. By night, he goes home to a stable in a run-down, working-class district. When his owner dies, Groucho feels the loss and is helped through it by the ancient stableman, Doyle, who is also set in his ways. This is the story of how they cope with each other, as well as the threat which endangers their entire way of life.

Firefly with aliens, Star Wars without the force … and a dash of the American Revolution.“I like a little rebellion now and then…The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable that I wish it to be always kept alive. It will often be exercised when wrong, but better so than not to be exercised at all.”— Thomas Jefferson
Unlike her brother, Saracasi Ocaitchi has always known that her loyalties belong to the ideals of freedom and democracy, not the government of the Alliance, and that protecting those ideals would require a fight. But now that the rebellion she has dreamed about has finally begun, she must come to terms with what that truly means: for herself, for her brother, and for all of the people who will die in the coming war.

From the author: Please don’t try to learn Tai Chi by rote memorization. That’s the usual way, and it’s a Confucian teaching device for a Confucian age. This book devotes nearly three hundred pages to fresh, original explanations of what Tai Chi is and how it works.
You want my advice? Learn Tai Chi. Just however you can. It’s that good. But do yourself a favor and read these pages first. You’ll feel very empowered when you line up for that first lesson, and you’ll stay loose and light all the way through the learning curve. That’s important because you never reach the end of it. Tai Chi is all learning curve.
