The Colony

By: Marie Lanza

Narrated by: Corrie Beard

A virus has divided the world into two, Humans versus Carriers. The only chance for survival is to find The Colony.

When Emma's phone rings in the early hours of the morning, she’s jolted awake by the voice of her husband, Ryan, calling from overseas. His words are urgent: a deadly virus is spreading, and she must find the colony—a safe haven in the north, that might be her only chance at survival. Then, the line goes dead, leaving Emma with nothing but fear and a vague direction to follow. Emma has always relied on herself, but as the dangers grow, she begins to realize that surviving alone may no longer be enough.

In a world where the living are just as dangerous as the dead, Emma must decide who to trust, and what she’s willing to risk to find the colony.
