Short Summary of the book:

This book tells the story of a post-apocalyptic world following a virus attack. It mingles bits of love, hope, science and self-sacrifice together to result in an excellent book.

What I liked about the book:

The main characters were a guy with a colourful and perhaps illegal past, a nurse and a little girl. They banded together in their attempts for survival and gathered several other people along the way. Some survived, others were not so lucky.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I really enjoyed the book and I’m not overly keen of zombie stories.

My favourite bits in the book:

The scenes with MacKenzie and her dog.

My least favourite bits in the book:

The scenes where certain members of the group tried to betray others.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I understand this book is actually the third in the series. Despite this, it was easy to follow the book and enjoy it. I may go back and read the other two in the series too.

What books could this be compared to and why?

Compared to other zombie stories I’ve read, this one is filled with hope and love for others. Although it brings out the worst in some, it brings out a lot of good in others.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children No

Young Adult Yes

Adult Yes

If you like zombie stories with love and hope elements this book may be the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.

Book Description by Author:

The world went blind.

Then it went mad.

But the Virus has one more trick up its sleeve...

From the author of the post-apocalyptic, zombie horror novels, Stage 3 and Stage 3: Alpha, Stage 3: Bravo is a fast-paced, nail-biting thriller for fans of The Walking Dead and World War Z.

Hank Mason had nothing left to lose.

But then came Mackenzie.

And then came Sarah.

And then came the others.

Though these seven souls had somehow survived the first days of the epidemic, every minute of life in this new world came at a price.

Thrown into a relentless battle against a population turned feral on one side, and desperate men willing to do anything to stay alive on the other, the only question remaining was...

How much were they were willing to pay to survive?

Now, those precious few are in a desperate race to save one more lost soul, and time is running out. The clock started ticking the moment they pulled into that forgotten little corner of a world gone insane.

Every second brings them closer to death.

They'll have to find a way out... or die trying.

About the Author:

I don't only write horror, but I mostly do. Why? Because humans are hard-wired to feel fear, so nothing affects us quite as much as a good scare. Besides, whether it's a community facing a zombie invasion or one man alone struggling with his inner demons, there's no better way to illuminate the very best and worst of mankind's nature than against a dark background.
