More About This Book

Overview

My name is Eric Riordan. Once, I was a wealthy man leading a comfortable, easy life. Then my old friend Gabriel told me how the world would end. Gabriel tried to help me. He taught me everything he learned as a Scout Sniper in the Marine Corps. All the hard lessons from years spent in the sand choked battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. I did everything I could to prepare. I thought I was ready.

I was wrong.

When the Outbreak came, it destroyed everything. The dead rose to consume the living, and all that mankind spent so many millennia working to build was laid to waste in a matter of months. The undead spared no one, leaving only ashes and death in their wake.

For those of us still alive, every single day is a struggle. In spite of the danger, and the darkness, I still believe there is a chance that the human race can rebuild. If I can make my way North and enlist Gabriel’s help, maybe we can find enough people to start over again. It won’t be easy, though. I have to make my way across the ruins of the old world, and along the way my will to live, my humanity, and my very soul will be tested.

I have food, I have a pickup truck, and I have my trusty rifle. Most importantly, I have hope. Hope is a powerful thing, but I will need much more than that if I am to survive the dead.

This is the beginning. This is my story.

    Was not sure I would like this when I bought it.. Could not put it down once I started. Very well written. Minor E book typos only distracting part. I look forward to following this series. I recommend it without hesitation.

    AWESOME!

    THIS BOOK WAS EXCELLENT.
    I thought the plot was well thought out.

    The character developmement was good. He included accurate descriptions of all the various weapons. I am hoping very much that there is a sequel to this soon.

    Good read if you like apocalyptic novels.

    If you liked World War Z (and similar novels), you will like this one.
    Author has good writing style, but messed up on there, their, they're. Needs a little editing.

    One of the best

    I loved this book!!!! I do have a fav zombie writer however this guy can write. He made the people in the book come alive. Good job . The focus was about zombies..but the past lives of the ones who made through the outbreak really put the human aspest of life in the story.
