Awesome book!
What an incredible story! It really gets the wheels turning in your brain. I could see this becoming reality all too easily.
We have a great cast of characters here. Bill, the man who survives the initial outbreak. Al, the marine who is left behind, Angel, the young college student, Garth, the out of shape trucker, Sylvester and Clive, Pam and Tara, rescued from a maniacal would be messiah.
In the span of just over three years soooo much happens to these people. And by the end of the book you feel like you’ve been there with them through it all.
I highly recommend you to take this journey too!

Well worth reading
Wow really good book . Found a recommendation on a social media page and decided to give it a try. Packed full of action and lots of humour it takes you on a journey of survival. Strong charters and a great plot . Would actually like to see a second book to find out what happens to the survivors.

Amazing
Totally immersed with the characters. It is a harrowing ride - if you need a bunch of happiness to get you through a fictional account of an apocalypse of the zombie, you’re probably not going to find out here. I laughed, I wept, I cringed a lot. Next book, please.

Dark and gory
Great book, even if I didn't like the main character.
If you don't like gore this is not the book for you.
