I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.In Dead Plains Red is pregnant with Trace's baby. Red, Trace, Wen, Caroline, Lily (Wen and Caroline's baby), Fisher, Rivers, Kitchi, Aponi and Davis, Red's brother are all out walking the Plains trying their best to just stay one step ahead of the zombies and any human that may want to take Red and use her as an experiment like John did in Survivor Roundup. Red is unlike other humans. She has a secret that everyone wants to know and wishes they had. They think that she is the answer to their zombie problems.The group is running out of supplies and is in dire need for more. So when they come upon a town Davis volunteers to go into the town for the supplies they need. Davis is gone for a while or is gone longer than Red thinks he should have been and she is worried about him. Kitchi being the great person he is says he will go and find Davis and bring him back. Kitchi maybe only a child to a white man but to the Indians and his people Kitchi is a man. He knows how to fight and he can take care of himself and others as well. There have been times on their journey that if it had not been for Kitchi some in the group probably would have died.Later Davis comes back with a team of horses and more supplies but no Kitchi. They all ask him about Kitchi. You know like where is he? What has happened to him? Davis tells them he never saw Kitchi going or coming. Trace has come to care a great deal about Kitchi. He loves him like a son. Davis wants to move the group along and get them back on their way. But Trace and Red will not leave Kitchi behind.Trace goes into the town to find Kitchi. When he gets there he finds out that Kitchi has been arrested and put in jail for stealing. Trace tries to get Kitchi back by making a deal with the sheriff. The deal that the sheriff makes with Trace is for him to whip Kitchi. Trace does not want to do this. He doesn't want to hurt the boy but he doesn't see any other way to get him out alive. So he whips Kitchi and then the sheriff lets him take Kitchi with him. Kitchi doesn't blame or hold it against Trace for what he did. He knows that he did the best that he could do and that it was the only choice he had if they both wanted to get out of there alive.All Red, Trace, Wen, Caroline and everyone else in their new little family want is just to find a safe place that they can call home, a place hidden away from other people so that there would be no one to recognize Red. But someone knows who Red is and what she is and they are out for blood. This person doesn't care about Red or her family all this person cares about his himself. I know you probably want to know who this person is. Am I right? Well guess what I really don't want to spoil the book for you so I am not going to tell you who this person is. You are going to have to pick up your copy to find out. But hey trust me you will definitely not be disappointed with Dead Plains. It is one of the best zombie books ever written. Angela Scott is an amazing writer and person.
