Editorial Reviews

As one of 48 specially trained officers who are only activated in case of national catastrophe, army captain Lee Harden has a special mission. When he comes out of his sealed bunker to a world devastated by plague, he must fulfill his mission to protect what is left of America. This four-book series was a huge hit when the author self-published it in 2012, and those who crave a military take on a zombie-like outbreak will want to check it out. The other volumes will be released in upcoming months.

Anxiety and building desperation fuel this debut zombie thriller, the first in a series that already has a significant online fan base. Army Capt. Lee Harden is alone in an underground bunker, preparing to return to a world where the FURY virus has turned most of the population into homicidal cannibals. Sharply targeted sentences depict an acutely human action hero who wrestles his anxiety by packing and unpacking his gear, trying to find online porn in a post-Internet world, and playing with his dog. Amply trained and armed, Lee is nonetheless a nauseated shaking mess as he emerges with little understanding of what he’s up against. With a handful of survivors, he embarks on a sweaty, frantic, bloody scramble across the surreally placid North Carolina countryside. Though this first installment is less a story than an establishment of scene and players, Molles’s precise construction gives readers ample reason to return, as does the agonizing companion novella, which provides an unnerving view of what occurred while Lee was waiting to begin his mission.
