Summary

You either build your world or you burn in someone else's. With every fleeting moment, the whole world draws closer to being overcome by the deadliest virus known to man.

Steele's family home lies in burnt ruins on the shore of Lake Michigan. His group hunts for his missing mother in the apocalyptic wilderness filled with the dead. Instead he finds a group of refugees badly in need of his skills learned in the shadow war on terror, for they are persecuted at every step by the Chosen, a group of fanatics hell-bent on creating God's Kingdom in the rubble of society.

Dr. Joseph Jackowski finds himself in a dangerous battle against both the deadly virus and the clock inside the bowels of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex. His team struggles as their own members fall victim to the virus in a race to discover a vaccine.

Colonel Kinnick rushes his paltry forces into the rocky passes of Colorado to hold the dead off long enough for a vaccine to be found. If he fails, the Vice President will burn the entire Western Seaboard into the blazing inferno of a nuclear holocaust. Who will rise? The Living or the Dead?

Listen to the series that listeners are calling, "An epic, fast-paced adventure, featuring a diverse cast of characters, non-stop action, and of course, zombies - this apocalyptic thriller is a sure victory...."

In the epic third installment of the End Time Saga, Daniel Greene brings the brutalized remainders of humanity even closer to the edge of defeat.

Not bad

Not bad at all. It’s a bit slow at times but this was a good listen.

gripping book

number three was fantastic, too many deaths of some great characters, but thats life in the apocalypse and the ending was such a cliffhanger, I'm straight onto the next

A surprisingly great book

I have left writing a review until now, so if not specified my review is for books 1-3 inclusive.
All I can say is wow, that was the first books in ages that got my adrenaline flowing and my heart pumping. OK these books will never be accepted as literature but they never claimed to be and I can't remember having palpitations when I read 'War and Peace'.
I thought the author was brave when at the start of the story it was based on the struggles of a secret dark unit of special forces when they returned to the USA with a doctor who is a leading figure in virus and infectious diseases they rescued from a collapsing Democratic Republic of the Congo, a country that was quite literally tearing itself apart. I thought that it would fall into the regular formulaic zombie mass paperback novel of how a small group of super soldiers assisted by an eccentric scientist saved the world. But thankfully I was completely wrong about this.
As a piece of SF the author based the events as close to how the USA might react to a zombie apocalypse. Also the special forces have feelings, bleed when shot and sometimes even die.
Give the (free) books a go, you might even be very pleasantly surprised as I was.

Very good

A good second boo in the series. Although it’s yet another apocalyptic saga, it’s nicely crafted and the characters and stories are sound. Kept me interested and wanting to hear what happened next. Look forward to book 3.

America fight zombies, the zombies are winning

Third book in zombie armageddon series. Light on story, some irrational behaviour by characters, usual overly predictive behaviour by antagonists but generally easy to listen to and we are always rooting for the hero Steel.

Terrible but…

…I am still listening to it, even though the plot is silly, the behaviour of the characters ridiculous and the dialogue is often so bad it’s hilarious! I really need to have a stern word with myself before I lose my mind and shell out a credit on the next one!
