Last week rocked along fairly well. I've taken a new job within my company and my brain is filled with new info - but I still found time to read. :) I needed that break.
This weeks' genre theme is: Zombies (you had to know they were coming)
ZPOC: The Beginning by Alex Laybourne - 4 Stars ****
The zombie apocalypse has begun and for a band of military
survivors, trapped miles from their base, hunting the dead is just another war
to be fought in the name of freedom.
For some, the end was always on the cards, and being
prepared was the name of the game. Yet, when faced with the reality of the new
world, being prepared is not always enough.
Stranded in a harsh and violent world, there is no single
path for survival. It is time to …
Hunt, survive and thrive.
The Infected: Jim's First Day by Joseph Zuko - 4 Stars ****
On a day like any other, Jim Blackmore finds himself at
ground zero of the zombie apocalypse.
He is forced to run a blood-soaked gauntlet through a city overrun by an
insurmountable horde of the dead in a desperate attempt to reach his wife and
two small children. As he fights to get home he discovers that the living are
just as dangerous as the dead.
But does Jim have the strength of will to
survive the perilous journey?
Dead: Snapshot - Estacada, Oregon by TW Brown
4 Stars ****
Welcome to Estacada, Oregon...population, 2,713.
Ken and Bennett Johnson own Fearless Brewery, a place where
you can come in for a bite to eat and sample their newest beers in a relaxing
atmosphere...until the undead rose and began to destroy humanity. The big
cities are falling--or have fallen--and Ken decides to spearhead an operation
that will help keep not just a handful of survivors alive, but as many of the
town's citizens as possible. It will be no small feat as he faces not only the
walking dead, but also small town squabbles and worse...outsiders.
Nano Z by Brad Knight - 4 Stars ****
Fired from his job of twenty-two years, Mack is
contemplating his bleak prospects when things take a turn from bad to worse.
While desperately trying to survive, he unwittingly helps
Amber, a fourteen year old girl with a dark, troubled past.
Brought together by overwhelming circumstances, Mack tries
his best to protect her as they travel through lawless lands with roaming
undead. But what they are forced to endure may be more than either of them can
handle.
Affliction by Dottie Daniels - 4 Stars ****
Twenty-six year old paramedic Seanna Burges wakes up five
hours late to the sound of breaking glass on what was to be the eighth day of
her work stretch. She finds out the hospital she works at along with most other
parts of Allentown, Pennsylvania has been overrun with people who quickly
succumb to an unknown but fast-acting infection that causes them to reanimate
only to inflict the same outcome on anyone they can. By now, her hospital has been
closed and reporting to work is both useless and dangerous.
Seanna is subsequently bitten during her travels to reach
her loved ones, however there's one difference between her and the countless
others who've become infected: she remains alive. Unbeknownst to her, there is
a very intentional reason why.
That's a wrap on Zombie week. I am sure they will show up again - you know how I love them. :)
I hope you are reading something wonderful.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
