Product Description:
Jonah Caine, a lone survivor in a zombie-infested world, struggles to understand the apocalypse in which he lives. Unable to find a moral or sane reason for the horror that surrounds him, he is overwhelmed by violence and insignificance. After wandering for months, Jonah's lonely existence dramatically changes when he discovers a group of survivors. Living in a museum-turned-compound, they are led jointly by Jack, an ever-practical and efficient military man, and Milton, a mysterious, quizzical prophet who holds a strange power over the dead. Both leaders share Jonah's anguish over the brutality of their world, as well as his hope for its beauty. Together with others, they build a community that reestablishes an island of order and humanity surrounded by relentless ghouls. But this newfound peace is short-lived, as Jonah and his band of refugees clash with another group of survivors who remind them that the undead are not the only-nor the most grotesque-horrors they must face.

Rating:  - Good book!
This was a really good book! There was a lot to keep me interested the entire way through and I really honestly did not put it down. Great action and great story!
Rating:  - Earnest author; amateurish prose
I bought this after reading the excellent World War Z. Unfortunately, this book is a pale shadow of World War Z.

Rating: - Watch out Romero!
One of THE BEST zombie books I've read! This really takes it to a whole new place. I love the original ideas mixed in here without breaking from canon. There were scenes that made me cringe, and I don't do that often, so brilliant for that! I really loved this and found myself wanting more at the end. It came too soon. Highly recommended to any zombie or horror lover!

Once again the age of apocalypse is upon us and the fate of humanity's last hope rests in the hands of a few. In this book Kim Paffenroth takes us to a new level of Zombie mythos and human survival instincts.
Set in modern time suburbia, readers are immediately attacked by moaning nightmares and vivid fight scenes. The human population is near extinct and the zombie plague is overwhelming. That is where the usual stops ... Read More
Rating: - Great Read!
I LOVED this Novel. It's the first Kim Paffenroth novel I have encountered and I got to say I am coming back for more!
The characters in this book are so real and you really get a sense of their inner turmoils, especially for the main character, Jonah. I also fell in love with Frank's character, even though he was introduced mid way through the novel, you get to build compassion for what the poor guy whent through. For those of you who love Gore, it had it's shocking gory moments to. Especially in ... Read More
