BuyZombie.com Review
News of the Day: BuyZombie.com just posted a book review of "Voyage of the Dead" which says in part:
"Voyage of the Dead Sovereign Spirit Saga: Book 1 of the saga by David Forsyth is very entertaining. The book opens with an outbreak at an airport and then moves to a veritable dream come true scenario. Scott Allen, the primary character and mega millions lottery winner has converted an ocean going car ferry into a luxury expedition mega yacht, Sovereign Spirit.
"What better place to wait out a zombie apocalypse then in a lap of floating comfort?
"The storyline makes more sense than trying to fortify a mall ala the original Dawn of the Dead and the remake. Sure, malls are cool but they’re stationary and have way too many points of entry. A ship, one as fully outfitted as Sovereign Spirit, has got to be the most original concept I’ve read in this genre.
"Forsyth’s writing is crisp and rich in detail. The action scenes are enthralling and heart pounding. His description of events puts you into the scene right along with the characters..."
More critical comments follow, but those are the ones I felt like sharing. :)

I really enjoy the Sovereign Spirit Saga. Very nice change from the land-based zombie stories I am hooked on.
I can't wait for #3
Write on, David

Thanks for the comment Paul. I'm working on Deluge of the Dead right now! Thanks for your patience...
It's nice to see your book getting positive reviews David. The Sovereign Spirit Saga should be read far and wide, its rejuvenated a genre that was getting just a little bit tired.Instead of the last dregs of humanity hanging on in squalor and despair you're taking the fight to the puss bags and kicking their raggedy behinds - hard.
Like Paul, I'm eagerly awaiting the next installment.
Wow. Thank you Kate. Speaking of being read "far and wide," I'm very proud to have fans on four continents. And today I learned that the real crew of the USCGC Stratton is reading my books too! Woo-Hoo!
WOW Very cool David @ the Stratton crew. CongratsI'm hoping the best for you and the Saga. I'm spreadin the word as much as I can.

Thanks, Paul. I think having the Stratton crew reading it is the best news yet. I just hope they like it! ;-) Thanks for spreading the word! Cheers.
I'm sure they will David. It shows the USCG---and the Stratton in particular--in a very good light. For the most part i.e. Capt Fowler in "Flotilla..." ;-P boo-YAA
Yeah... I'm a little worried about how they will view the Catalina episode. However, the Stratton saves the day there and restores honor to the Guard. There always has to be at least one bad apple in a good story, right?BTW: (spoiler alert) you haven't heard the last of Captain Fowler...
oh CRAAAAP! You did say Deluge will be out...like...tomorrow, right?! :D j/kJust SOONEST please ;-)
:) Relax. I'm not rushing this one. But you did just remind me that I forgot to hang that bastard! LOL. Actually, I have some plans for the cowardly captain. I hope they (and the rest of the story) will be worth waiting for. Thanks for your encouragement and input, Paul.PS: I created a Q&A on Flotilla where readers can offer suggestions of where they would like the story to go, if you want to chime in. It's a few posts up this blog.

But it was good to have Carl's "traditional" story intertwined.
