Society is slowly rebuilding. Abby and Jenny are transporting supplies between settlements. Craig is learning how to run the steam engines on lines cleared by Greg Preston.

But there are still those who just want to take. And their train is about to come under attack…

8.2 ROBERT

Once, Robert Malcolm had a complicated life. His wife in an institution, his girlfriend running a struggling business, he was out of the army and without a place in the world.

When the Death came, it meant many things to many people. For Robert, it meant freedom.

But medic Ruth has her suspicions when she visits the camp. And Craig is about to find out what it takes to become a recruit.
