Scott, a survivor of the zombie apocalypse holed up in a suburban fortress, gets pulled out of relative safety and into the frozen streets of Halifax, Nova Scotia, in pursuit of a man named Tenner. The third Mountain Man entry takes the series to a new geography and ratchets up the threat: a city choked with the dead, a serial killer hunting the living, and vermin rising from the sewer systems carrying infection of a different kind.

R.C. Bray is among the most acclaimed narrators in genre audio, and his performance here captures Scott's sardonic survivor's mentality without softening the genuine dread the story requires. Bray's pacing through the Halifax horror-scape is one of the more visceral listening experiences in the zombie subgenre — intimate, physical, and consistently tense. At just over 12 hours, the story moves without wasted motion.
