What the world dreads most, happened. Now that theyve begun to thrive, the true reason for humanitys demise becomes ever more apparent. In her dystopian and post-apocalyptic bestselling novel, The China Pandemic, A. R. Shaw created a realistic world after a much too plausible pandemic event. Now, the remaining survivors must conquer their enemy more sinister than anyone ever guessed. The story moves forward with...The Last Infidels
The survivors are back in book three of the Grahams Resolution series. In the tiny town of Cascade, Washington, the members of Grahams camp and the Prepper camp welcome spring and begin to thrive as a community. Meanwhile, dark forces invade the peace theyve cultivated. A common benevolent enemy of the past emerges, and suddenly the pandemic wasnt what it seemed at all. Read the ongoing saga of Grahams Resolution, Book 3, The Last Infidels, for the startling revelation.

Foreword

Welcome to the world of Grahams Resolution. As a writer, I try to limit the parts that readers tend to skip. Therefore, within these pages I do not often recount what youve already read. However, here I will attempt to inform you of whats already taken place in case my readers have forgotten between releases.

As the series begins, 80 percent of the world has died from infection with the H5N1 virus, commonly called the China Pandemic. Graham is about to bury his father, his last surviving family member, when Hyun-Ok, Bangs mother, approaches him. She dies while transferring her son to Graham and warns him of the dangers to come.

Graham and Bang then trek to the family cabin, north along the Skagit River, in the fictional town of Cascade (inspired by the town of Rockport, Washington). Along the way, they encounter a madman named Campos. Graham must kill Campos in order to keep the man from killing twin girls Macy and Marcy, who are on their way to their Dads apartment. Sheriff, a stray police dog, also appears with the twins; he is one of the few dogs who has not yet gone to the wild side out of hunger, and he quickly becomes a loyal companion to the girls. (Sheriff has become a beloved character in the series; nearly every week I receive fan mail asking me to keep him alive.)

Together, Graham, Bang, the twins, and Sheriff make their way to Cascade, where Graham finds a grouchy old man, Ennis, and an ailing Native American woman, Tala, already occupying his cabin. The group learns to coexist until they run across a group of people dressed in hazmat suits who dump a boy named Mark into their possession.

The members of Grahams group are carriers of the virus, and the people in suits are actually members of a clever prepper organization that has anticipated all the calamities to come their way. The preppers, however, are still susceptible to the virus that Grahams group carries.

The two groups tentatively learn to live near each other, but with very specific quarantine rules. This works until one day a marauding group kidnaps Tala. The preppers aid Graham in her rescue, but one of their members, Sam, is exposed to the virus and, instead of dying, he becomes a rare carrier as well. Sadly, his seven-year-old daughter is now orphaned and has to stay with the preppers while Sam goes to live at Grahams camp. This is how book 1, The China Pandemic, endswith Sam only able to visit with his young daughter at a safe distance across the Skagit River.

The winter season begins book 2, The Cascade Preppers. We start by learning how Sam has adjusted to the group; Graham and Tala are now in a relationship. Anything that can go wrong does in book 2: Sam takes Mark and Marcy on a hunting trip and encounters a snowstorm and disaster; Ennis becomes ill; Graham goes into town and is badly injured in a wild dog attack, but is saved by newcomer McCann, who has traveled to Cascade on horseback. There is a devastating fire at the prepper camp that causes Sam to break all quarantine rules to ensure the safety of his daughter, Addy, an effort that nearly gets him killed. The fire kills Daltons wife Kim and several others.

At the end of book 2, the injured members of Grahams camp have recovered, but Ennis dies. Scientist Clarisse, the preppers best asset, creates a vaccine to inoculate those who are still susceptible to the virus. These events, and the fact that Tala is now pregnant, end The Cascade Preppers on a note of both hope and uncertainty.

With that out of the way, I now present to you The Last Infidels.

Dutchs Caravan


D utch felt eyes upon them and could almost smell the mares fear; the wild dogs had tracked them through the night. After the long march across the state to silently escape from the invaders, to be exposed now by dogs seemed cruel, even for fate.

He raised his hand slowly to signal the driver of the truck behind him to stop, then clenched his fist to have her cut the engine. While he held the reins a whispers breath away from the hide of the mares pulling the wagon, Dutch slid his Remington 870 shotgun across his lap with slow stealth. In anticipation of the wild beasts, he had loaded it earlier with a combo load of two number 1 buckshot, followed by two double-ought and then two slugs, for a total of six shots. Practice taught him that loading his weapon in this way allowed extra insurance in case something just kept coming at him. If that did not work, he had other options at his disposal and within reach.

Intent on hearing even the faintest of danger signs, he leaned forward on the bench seat of the wagon and tilted his head to the best angle. Shutting his eyes in concentration furthered the conscious effort. He had ridden without care before the dark descended; the wild dogs howling had already warned him of their carnivorous intentions come nightfall. Their glowing eyes shone through the darkening forest at regular intervals as the day lengthened into dusk.

The time to start a fire and make camp had passed, and the steady cadence of the five-ton US Army truck and trailer, loaded down with provisions, rang out as it trailed the little convoy to the outskirts of Cascade. The provisions were intended for a new homestead, Dutchs mission now. He led in a wagon burdened much like the truck. Two lineback horses who were acutely aware of the present danger pulled the wagon.

The young woman driving the truck behind him had come in handy, but if it had not been for the need to drive both vehicles, Dutch would have kicked her out near the Coulee Dam on State Route 20. He was not only afraid of being tracked by the invaders but also grew worried that he was beginning to feel responsible for the safety of the woman who was a mere child in age compared to him. In his mind, the liability she posed could mean the death of both of them, and he wanted no charges now or ever again.

He planned to send her away at his earliest convenience. Shell have to take care of herself, Dutch kept telling the nagging voice deep within his mind. At almost fifty years of age, she appeared to be in her early twenties and needed no protector, especially not someone like him who was nearly fifty. Babysitting a whiny twenty-somethingparticularly in a survival situationheld not a shred of appeal to him.

Not that she was whiny, really; on the contrary, she irritated him because she did not talk. Hell, from the moment theyd met around Saint Maries, south of Coeur dAlene, Idaho, four days earlier, shed nearly driven him mad with her silence. Unfortunately, he had little choice but to let her tag along, since he had not run across another living soul all the way here. She was a good worker, hed give her that. He would allow her to stick around for a few more days until she got her bearings, and he hoped that the current residents of Cascade would take her in after he warned them of the coming danger. He intended to fill a backpack for her, give her one of the mares tied to the back of the wagon for payment, and send her on her way.
