I read this book last night. Overall I enjoyed the story. The plot was interesting. The characters are well developed. I wouldn't say there was anything particularly new about this zombie book that hasn't been done elsewhere but I'm not looking for groundbreaking just an enjoyable read. I woul...
I caught a bit of movement to the south and Charlie’s head peeked above the grass. He gave me a small wave, and then ducked back down. At least I knew where he was. Duncan stood up behind the tree, using it as cover as he stood and stretched his back. He exhaled slowly to the sky, and then in...
Not to mention, Julia was a crack shot and deadly with her weapons. No worries there. Jake drove, and we headed out along Route 71. That road took us on a southerly tour of the edge of our domain, and into the river lands. The road twisted a lot at the eastern edge of t...
They had been on the road for several days and had passed several small towns. None of the towns had been inhabited and Thorton was itching for some kind of action. Any kind of action.The convoy had been following Route 6 out of California and had made their way to Ely, Nevada. There they picked ...

If something was headed towards the population centers of Illinois, I wanted to get ahead of it, especially since my children might be right in its path. Jake had come with us on the campaign against the zombies...
He was still asleep, so I went down and got some breakfast. Cereal bars weren’t exactly the greatest of breakfasts, being a milk and cereal man myself, but with the power out, the only milk I was going to get was from a cow, and I hadn’t seen one of those is these parts. I thought about the route...
We plowed ahead and in short order came to the outskirts of Verona. It was easy to see the differences. Verona, while a small town, was ringed by a six-foot tall earthen hill, the dirt and clay being used from the ditch that was directly in front of the hill, making it a twelve-foot obstacle to a...
We hit the main road in this area and headed west. I was somewhere northwest of Freeport, but I had no clue as to exactly where. The road I was following was called Cedarville Road, but I hadn’t seen anything of Cedarville. Maybe it was behind me. I really didn’t care. Thi...
