Basher shook his head. No, we climbed in through a ground-floor guest bedroom all ninja-like. Snuck up the back stairs. Then you might be the cavalry, said Tom, but I'm Santa Claus. Let's go downstairs and open some presents.

Generosity could be as contagious as the zombie plague as long as enough people were willing to be carriers.

Suddenly all those careful preparations disintegrated as predators far more dangerous than the walking dead proved what all wise killers already knew: that nothing was more dangerous than living men.

When you have to kill the same terrorist twice in one week, then there's either something wrong with your skills or something wrong with your world. And there's nothing wrong with my skills.
