The Fever Trilogy

After the bombs, in an apocalyptic world savaged by a spreading psychosis called The Fever, two men struggle to survive, tormented by memories of their nightmarish experiences at war. While 16-year-old Martin flees to his childhood home and dishonorably discharged Grady spends his nights digging for relics from his past, a massive army is forming, legions upon legions of crazed soldiers led by the tyrant known as the Bearded Man. But things are not what they seem, because the world has slipped over the edge, past the point of no return, and not even death can stop The Fever.
