Left Alone

Leftovers #2

by Christian Fletcher

“Six months had ticked by since the debacle of Manhattan. Three of us managed to escape the zombie infested city by the skin of our teeth. We sailed south on an old Coastguard boat, along the U.S. eastern coast, fruitlessly searching for a safe haven. Major cities were overrun, coastal towns were all but wiped out. The undead had taken over.

Now, our sea-going vessel was in desperate need of repairs and we headed inland, up the mighty Mississippi River in Louisiana, in search of vital engine components.

I didn’t know who I feared coming face to face with most; the hordes of hungry flesh eaters or the surviving, half-crazed human population.”

“Left Alone” is the sequel to the apocalyptic zombie novel “Leftovers.”

Brett Wilde, Smith, Batfish and the two dogs sail down south for the warmer climate to avoid the harsh northern winter. The old Coastguard boat is in dire need of an overhaul so they head inland, up the Mississippi River, searching for a marine workshop. They soon discover danger lurks from each side and every crook and bend of the river bank.

Left Alone is a very awesome book to read because I just think it is and that's all I can

[Lana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this second book in the Leftovers series, though Wilde and Smith had far more to deal with than the dead in this installment. Batfish was absent through most of it and we lost one of my favorite survivors from the first book pretty quickly, still, Smith and Wilde kept me thoroughly entertained through the fast paced adventure and crazy situations they end up in. These are characters I've come to care a lot about and am already knee deep in Left On the Brink, #3 in the series. There are the occasional spelling or grammar mistakes but not often, and nowhere nearly as bad as many of the self-published books I've read, and certainly not enough to disturb my enjoyment,nor the flow, of the story. I only wish they would quit smoking so much!

Definitely worse than the first and since it didn't end, there will be a third. Amateur writing, non existent editing, corny and predictable. I skimmed through a lot of it, just to finish. I didn't have high expectations after reading the first one, so I really wasn't disappointed.

Brilliant! I'm about to start the next in the series.

2.5 stars

Like the action and the fast pace but I'm missing the feel of characters.
