A new Newsflesh novella from the *New York Times* bestselling author that brought you *Feed* , Mira Grant. Post-Rising Australia can be a dangerous place, especially if you’re a member of the government-sponsored Australia Conservation Corps, a group of people dedicated to preserving their continent’s natural wealth until a cure can be found. Between the zombie kangaroos at the fences and the zombie elephant seals turning the penguin rookery at Prince Phillip Island into a slaughterhouse, the work of an animal conservationist is truly never done–and is often done at the end of a sniper rifle. **Newsflesh Short Fiction** *Apocalypse Scenario #683: The Box* *Countdown* *San Diego 2014: The Last Stand of the California Browncoats* *How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea* *The Day the Dead Came to Show and Tell* *Please Do Not Taunt the Octopus* For more from Mira Grant, check **Newsflesh* **Feed* *Deadline* *Blackout* * ***Parasitology * ** Parasite* *Symbiont* *Chimera*
