The zombies have been banished for almost a year now, and Adrian Ring's greatest threats are starvation, and strangers. He can feed both problems away, but a full belly doesn't always lead to trust. With the Northern Valley Cooperative shored up as allies, the future looks bright for Adrian and his family at Bastion. They've added tanks, machine guns, a helicopter, and a hundred trained National Guardsman to their assets on hand.

But why is Adrian so uneasy?

Why are the refuges from overseas coming in such large droves? Why are they so hungry, and afraid? Why are they so happy to find the Trinity on foreign shores?

Because they left the scourge behind.

At least, they thought they left it behind.

Humanity's plague returns, and when it does, alliances old and new are put to the test, and the world is upended yet again.

The Last Resort contains Adrian's Journal entries from December 3rd, 2013, through June 7th, 2014. It also contains the side fictions Steve Goes to the City, The Only Easy Day, The Last Plane out of Kandahar, The Citadel, Terrible Things in Your Name, and Just Me.
