Non-Stop ZomPoc Action!!!
920189
The ARISEN series is one of my All-Time ZomPoc favorites!!  It has:
-best combination story steeped in & around US/UK WWI & II history
-best most convincing Zombie Origin story, rooted in awful real world Cold War era bioweapons
- the latest in military gear, hardware & every conceivable transport described in detail
-Zombies with an extra deadly aspect making them extra horrific
-strong admirable mostly military Good Guys/Gals to cheer on
-despicable loathsome Bad Guys to boo & heckle
A thrilling non stop action ZomPoc series that had me reading cover to cover, then, waiting for the next Kindle release date!  I've read them all, so far, waiting for book 13.
I won't spoil it for newbies with details.  I read this series so intensely that I only bothered to stop & review it after I'd read the latest one.  I abhor reviewing but this series deserves the 5 Stars.
Fans of this series will be greatly rewarded, it gets better with every book.

What a ride! The sounds are pumping! Few other games mixes game control, graphics, and suspense-filled music and voices like BZ! The single-player  missions are 5 stars all the way! They keep you nervous and hustling! I  remember sneaking around with an armor division through a long fog-filled  canyon with distant sounds of howitzer shells and machine gun fire buzzing  in all around! Very Vietnamish! In addition each of the units you control  have large amounts of personality in their radio chatter. This is  everything C&C is except better! How is it better? You are fighting  WITH the troops and buildings you control! Well  conceived and ORIGINAL  plot with all the  Wing-Commander-style interim annimations and radio  chatter to back it up! Spend the 12 bucks and you will be utterly happy for  a couple months at least! The drawback is that there are no on-line  dedicated servers running BZ games. Also check out my review for Tribes!

Jack Mars has done it again!  Oath of Office continues where the first book in the series left off.  Luke Stone and his crew are recalled to service and take on one mission after another.  The new president is finding it hard to keep Luke out of jail when half of her staff believe that he oversteps his bounds and is a loose canon.  However, she continues to support him and condones his attitude to do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat. - especially when terror gets personal.  The action is non-stop and readers will not be able to catch their breath before Luck  heads out to rescue somebody else.

The author also does a great job in showing how terrorist treat those who help their cause...if they didn't die for the cause, then most were loose ends that had to be taken care of to protect their mission to take the United States down..

The final rescue seemed impossible, yet, Luke Stone pulls it off.  Before I turned off my Kindle late last night, I was sure to order Mr. Mars next installment.  I'm not certain that the new president has seen the end of the Ebola virus as it was left open in this installment.  I can't wait to see what happens next.  Jack Mars is a fantastic writer!  Keep them coming!

Forget Team Rick or Team Shane (a la The Walking Dead). It's Team Mike you'll want to be on during a zombie apocalypse!  Mark Tufo is a master storyteller who has zombie fiction wrapped around his finger.  Zombie Fallout 5 will make you laugh, cringe, groan, put you on the edge of your seat and leave you wanting more.  (Thank goodness there's a ZF6 release planned for October 2012.)

Prepare to get emotionally invested in the characters. If not, check your pulse. You might be coming down with something...

If you read ZF5 first, might as well plan to get the others in the series--you will get hooked!

This latest entry in the Zombie Crusade series is a blast, and I don't just mean the improvised explosive device (or propane tank) kind, either.  The story rockets along with a massive cast of characters interacting that a less skilled author might just botch, but Mr. Vohs has the writing chops to carry it out.  While this book is an action packed dynamo, I really enjoyed the quiet interplay as well such as when Jack and Luke have an opportunity to bond in the field.  I'm beginning to think Luke's last name should be Skywalker instead of Siefert, but since I am such a big fan of the kid, that is okay, too.

This book feels like a big payoff after the first three set the stage, but this is far from the end of the tale.  Also, applause to the author for giving us more about Carter's family, since he is such an integral part of the command structure as well as Jack's closest friend.  Finally, I had to laugh at a couple of cameo appearances towards the end of the book.  I didn't know the author was such a big fan of that particular "reality" series.  Here's a hint- it ain't the Kardashians.

Spoiler Warning: I don't want to do this but I feel compelled to warn readers of a cliffhanger ending.  I know, I hate 'em too guys but it is what it is.  However, don't let this little nugget dissuade you from picking up this book.  I loved it and plan to immediately start rereading it tonight.

I have to say that i do plow true this series at top Speed. Like Adrian plows true Zombies .
 I like the Evolution of Adrian, the MC, i like the fact that the author makes you think about important questions. Issues that are beyond pure survival . The fact that he starts writhing abou the relationshipp between the diferent Groups of survivors from the same small town, the tensions, the fighting, the killing is amazing and interesting.
 The fact that People that used to be neighbours, maybe even friends would kill each other over some cans of beans and span, Shows how , in the Absence of law the Society falls apart and crumbles.
 This book was very interesting and a great entertaining read , not lacking of violence and Zombies, and fight Scenes.
 I do recomend it to all Lovers of zompoc lit

Shawn Chesser has come through again and again with a story-line that is one of the most thrilling reads in this genre. With much anticipation for Warpath the next book in the STZA I was once again drawn into the complex lives of Cade, Brooke, Raven and now the squabbling siblings, and my love for the Duncan and Daymon characters just added more flavor to an already exciting series. To juice this book up Chesser added some "fan names" to his characters which was totally exciting (you need to follow Shawn on his FB page to find out more).

I'm always impressed with Shawn's work, he's stuck true to the genre giving his readers zombies, action, blood and guts. I won't spoil by writing what happens, but as a female I loved the deaths of the two nastiest villains towards the end of the book. Jaimie- you go girl!!

As stated on many of the reviews, this is a series that has come to the forefront of the genre. Shawn has managed to give this reader what she craves- Cade a man of spectacular action, a book full of exciting-kick-ass-fight scenes with zombies and road bandits, and one hell of a bang at the end. Dude you have done it again! Stay Frosty Shawn!

I highly recommend this book and ALL in this series.

Faz has me jazzed!!! Faz Pound the Dark Magic Enforcer wreaks havoc on the Supernatural world as he goes in search of those who misuse, and abuse, their magical powers in the mystical, and often hilarious realm of the U.K. that Author Al K Line (is that a great pen name, or what?) resides in. I don't often care much for tales that aren't exclusively about zombies, as I am somewhat of a zombie genre fan, but this one has zombies, vampires, trolls, werecritters...you name it! Plus, it's really quite funny, and I found myself lmao at the predicaments that Faz, the Dark Enforcer, gets himself into time and time again. I've thoroughly enjoyed this authors previous works, particularly his Zombie Botnet series, and this first novel in the Dark Enforcer series has me begging for more. Well done Al, keep 'em coming!

This series is among the very best in the zombie post-apocalypse genre. I have read literally hundreds of zompoc books by dozens of authors, and I would put this among the 5 or 6 best series I've ever read. Highly recommended for every good reason - character development, non-stop excitement, genre authenticity, creativity, fun, etc. Great stuff!

Oh my goodness! 4.6 stars!!!! What a ride! I did not think I would come across a book that I liked as much as The Remaining series, but this book was such fun. I loved it. The author takes quite a different path from most in the "zombiesque" genre and I will definitely read the next one as there are questions to which I need answers. One thing I really enjoyed was the use of humorous banter between the Rangers which helped add some lighter moments to an otherwise heavy and dark situation. Although it took a few chapters to introduce the characters,once the story takes off it doesn't let up. Non-stop action with quite a twist in plot. I can't wait for the next one.

I really enjoy Mr. Chesser's writing style and his vision of a zombie apocalypse.  Interesting characters abound in this series.  One of the first zompoc books i read and they have never diaappointed me

I read a TON of Zompoc.  This is absolutely the best series I have ever read.  Trust me when I say these books are worse than Pringles.  Once you pop the top, there's no stopping until you hit the bottom of the can (or the last page of book 8 in this case).

Adrian is an amazingly complex character that you will grow amazingly close to - along with many other characters - as his journey unfolds.  As with many zompoc novels, it isn't really about the dead. It's about the living, the bonds they form with other survivors and the lengths they will go to keep themselves and those they grow to love in the wake of unthinkable circumstances safe and alive.  What makes this different is what lays beneath the surface.  There is much more going on here which separates this series from all the others and the most original origin story to date is just the beginning.

This is the first four books.  There is now a package containing all eight.  I recommend just grabbing them all at once but at least start here.  Clear your schedule and hold on...you aren't going to want to put this one down for even a second!

WOW...Non-stop, pulse-pounding, hold-on-to-your-seat ACTION from beginning to end! A military special-ops team, sent as escorts for a group of weapons inspectors, enter a secluded genetics research facility out in the Arizona desert. Little did they realize as they entered, that many would not make it back out alive!  A new bioweapon has been unleashed on the underground facility, as well as a group of terrorists trying to gain control of it.  Unfortunately, this new weapon is alive and hungry!  It is up to the team of marines to take down the terrorists and save as many lives as they can; while at the same time, save their own. If I had to compare, I would say this is a cross between "Area 7" by Matthew Reilly and "Beneath the Dark Ice" by Greig Beck. Very highly recommended for any action/adventure enthusiast!

I cannot believe this game is not more well known than it is. There is nothing out there - including COD Nazi Zombies - that gives more head-splattering satisfaction and butt clinching moments than ZAT. The shooting mechanic is perfect and you will never tire of slo-mo depictions of your bullets piercing, smashing and tumbling their way through mountains of zombie flesh. The atmosphere is amazing and the attention of detail is very impressive. There is no doubt that a post-war, zombie-infested, burned-out Berlin in rubble would look like this. I guess so, anyway.... Online coop is a blast and if you don't have any friends who have it, there's no problem with finding a game online.

Seriously, this game rules. Extreme gore, violence, Nazis and zombies - what else do you need?

4 Platypires for Slow Burn : Destroyer by Bobby Adair

Damn, this was an addicting read. Very fast passed which I truly enjoyed and pretty much non-stop action. I was very much entertain with this installment in the Slow Burn series.
It's great to see the characters come together and see them grow. Murphy is showing he might actually care for people and want to see them survive. While Zed is toning down on his philosophy monologues and might be the luckiest SOB in the zombie apocalypse. The stunt at the hospital was crazy.
Anyways, while the ending left me hanging quite a bit, I would still recommend this series. Maybe have book 4 already downloaded.
