    Cool Read TWILIGHT OF THE DEAD online for *free*!


    Twilight of the Dead by Travis Adkins is now a free online read!

    Five years after the dead rose a small band of survivors has taken refuge in the fortified town of Eastpointe. When a newcomer arrives claiming to know the location of the antidote to the zombie plague, it sends the town into an uproar. 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.

    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.
