Five years after the dead rose a small band of survivors has taken refuge in the fortified town of Eastpointe.

To retrieve this cure, a group of survivors must venture outside the relative safety of the compound's walls and into a world ruled and dominated by the flesh-eating undead.

Such a wonderful book. I'm glad it is free. Hopefully it will help Travis sell some of part 2. I did enjoy them, but I wasn't a fan of the whole modified zombies deal. I do think his characters had great depth and loved the main character.

The synopsis definitely hangs a big hook out there to catch our attention!

I'll definitely give it a read...especially as I'm still waiting on my copy of Patient 0 to ship!

Thank you for the info, UA. :)

Okay, I'm about a quarter of the way through after reading a bit of it last night. Very cool so far!

It starts out great. It's just at the end that I didn't like. On another book now, I'm reading Domain Of The Dead. I got it from the UK. Very good so far.

Author is Iain McKinnon.

BTW, I always watch your signature all the way through the animation. :annoyed:

Reading Twilight of the Dead,
Well-written, but the primary antagonist's physiology is so impossible that it shattered my suspension of disbelief. (Not wanting to create spoilers for anyone else)

I'll finish reading it, but I have a feeling from what I'm already up to that it's going to have an unsatisfying conclusion. Beginning to remind me a great deal of the version of the Omega Man that Heston starred in, the end I mean.

If any other readers care to discuss the book feel free to PM me. Would like to hear some other opinions about the antagonist and his/her methodology.

LOVED the Black Berets though. That was JUST the kind of grass-roots program that harnesses civilians into effective combatants of the undead. It was one of those plot devices that after reading it you go "Wow, why didn't I think of that?" Which are among the best sorts of plot devices to me.
