WHOO! HOO! Again Thanks, Dirk!!!
Love this story. Was reading at the Dentist's office and was really irritated when they came to get me. Just one more chapter please. You must read the books in order to get a true feel for the characters. One suggestion, CUT THE HAIR RACHEL!!! You are going to get everyone killed. Okay, just read the books. Downloading the next one now.Great writer. Great story. I care about the characters, they are believable and I can see the action as it happens. I highly recommend this series and the author.So, that was my review after reading this book. I have now read all of the books on my kindle, pre-ordered #8, purchased all of them in soft cover and even purchased the audio book from Audible. I am waiting for all of them to come to Audible because I love being read to. They do need a different narrator though. Am I obsessive? Just a wee bit. I have read the series 3 times so far and each time it gets better. The characters are believable and I truly care about them. John is a great person and only wants to find his wife. Rachel just wants to survive and realizes that her best chance lies with John. Dog? Well, Dog is just really cool. I cannot recommend this series enough. Yes, there is violence, some pretty graphic. But they are fighting infected people trying to eat them for God’s sake! If you cannot deal with very well described violence, or a lot of military scenes, then go elsewhere for your entertainment. I can't wait to read each book but then I’m distressed when I finish one.You must read them in order. That is the only way you will understand the story line and the world that the characters are trying to live in. Most books end and the next picks up at that spot. Some scenes in the later books have brought tears to my eyes because I have grown to truly care about the people who inhabit this world.I would recommend reading the John Chase story after reading at least one of the Voodoo books. This will allow you to get to know him a little in this current world and understand some of what has made him into the man that he has become. Other things will fall into place.If you do not like “Zombies”. If you do not really care about “military” scenes, descriptions, etc. If you are not particularly fond of “apocalypse” stories please move on instead of leaving a bad review. I know that not everyone likes everything but just move on. Please, this author does not deserve it. Nor do these stories.

Can't say a bad word about this story/Series
I love this series. Probably said that in my review after book 2, and I'm happily saying it after book 3. My only complaint is that i was paying no attention whatsoever to how much progress i had made. I was completely unaware that I was at the end of the book when it ended abruptly. It's fine, the series is 12 books long as of the time I'm writing this review, so the moment i submit this review i can buy book 4. I would definitely be upset, however, if i discovered this series as it was being written in the early days. The action in these books never lets up. In this one, book 3, something happens around the final quarter or so of the book, and by all means the author could have used it as a time to slow the story down, let characters rest, just had a large portion of dialogue if that's what he wanted to do. Buuuuut that's not how this series works. Instead of giving the characters a break, the action and violence just keeps on moving right along. I've read books 1-3 and been so happy about discovering them. I have every intention of reading every single one of these 12 books before i move on to anything else, but midway through this story, i found myself feeling sort of exhausted with the main characters. Not because it's a bad story...it's basically apocalyptic. Good things aren't going to happen. Knowing i have 9 books to go, I can only assume there is so much misery still to be had for these people. The characters would be so tired right now, and reading this, i feel like you can't help but feel what they would be feeling. I didn't mean i was tired of the characters, i just think this story is well written and it drags you right in, and by the time this book comes along, with the progression of the characters, you just can't feel good about what's ahead...sorry, i ramble on these reviews, and i feel like I'm doing it here. This series is great. I personally can not stop reading it. As I said in my review of book 2, it seems impossible to think all 12 of these books can stay as good as what I've read up to this point, i hope I'm wrong. Nothing I've read to this point leads me to believe this story will slow down. If somehow you've stumbled upon my review, i hope I've said enough good stuff to make you believe you should also keep reading. Okay, i think I've gone on long enough. Buying book 4 right now

Great series
This is a great series. Exciting and fast-paced with always interesting new characters to join our faithful three (Dog being my favorite. If he gets killed off I won't be able to continue reading).The only reasons I gave book three 4 stars instead of 5 is:1) too revolved around the military and military-speak.2) the Reverend seemed played out, like every other crazy leader you come across in a zombie series. Just reminded me of a religious version of the Governor in Walking Dead. Several other similar references came to mind.

Absolutely Excellent read.
I am loving this series and I still have loads of books to read. The intensity just keeps pushing me forward to read more and more and it's so good that I can't stop but it's a cliffhanger so I need to go on to number four, Red Hammer.

An epic and at many points, a gut wrenching adventure I thou roughly enjoyed.
Hello Readers, if you're reading book three and enjoying the series as much as I did; you're on your way to book nineteen.......nuff said!

Simple
Simple but interesting story . Do not expect a deep meaning to the story line, I think maybe the author has forgotten some of his facts as well

Rollicking good story
I have read the previous books in this series and have no hesitation in recommending them if thrills and heart stopping excitement with well written characters are your thing. I am no spring chicken and have read literally hundreds of books in my time. The story line takes you on a wild journey to find peace and safety in a world gone mad. All the more frightening because it may just happen!!! I don't crib about things like `that sort of aircraft wasn't around" or that's not medically correct" I read books to be entertained, frightened, cry or just escape. Please give this series of books a chance as I said I highly recommend them. Have just had book 4 delivered to my kindle so won't get much sleep tonight.
