The Crossing is the price one must pay to get to the promised land . . .

Author D.A. Roberts has recently delivered his third novel in his exciting Ragnarok Rising Saga: The Crossing.

The nightmare continues to the survivors of Nathanial County, Missouri and the battle to keep hope alive rages everywhere.

From the Inside Cover:

You will learn to fear the dark.

After surviving the Freemen, Wylie and the others discover that the damage they took during the fight might have been far more extensive than they knew. With structural problems looming and the lack of arable land, they reach a dreaded decision. They must abandon the Underground.

Looking for a place that is not only defensible but provides the opportunity for long-term survival, they must set out on a dangerous journey to scout a new location. Strange new dangers await them, as they find what they thought was the perfect location. A terrifying new type of zombie stalks the valley where they want to make their home. A zombie that owns the night.

The journey to make their new home safe will take them to the distant shores of Lake of the Ozarks and through the zombie infested streets of Lebanon, Missouri. Wylie soon learns that people he thought were enemies can become friends…and friends can become enemies. A lesson that will cost them dearly.

Their journey to discover the origin of the new undead will take them back to the lake and to a shocking conclusion. Lives will change forever as they must accomplish the impossible in order to secure their new home. The realization that not all of them will survive to see their new community grow will take it’s toll on them. The safety of their new home will be purchased with blood. 

Who will make...The Crossing?

As a reader and fan of Tom Clancy, the author of the "Techno-Thriller," I must tell you that we may have the heir to the creator of the "Techno-Thriller" in D.A. Roberts. In this saga, he creates a wonderfully taught and deep adventure that moves quickly and the pace of action tires the reader with constant action. Before you can take a breath, the un-dead alter the perceived safety of the survivors and reminds them that there is no safety in the Zombie-Apocalypse. The world, as we knew it, has, indeed, ended. Forever.

D.A. Roberts creates dread and drama so deep, that one cannot simply put the book down. You must see it through (the book), not unlike the survivors must assure their own safety. The drama is palpable, the dread is real and you know that the stench of death is just around the next page. At times you dread turning the page because you know that danger lies up ahead.

We are constantly reminded that there is no safety and there is a price to pay. Those that you think will survive - don't and those that you believe will die - will live another day.

The Crossing will exact a price from the reader, but it is one that will gladly be paid because like the survivors, you want to believe that there is hope when the world ends.
