The second book in this series just came out. It is written by an active duty naval officer. The plot is not the most realistic for a zombie novel, but I really like the attention to gun details. It is written in first person as a diary. I just got the second book in the series today and I hope to have it read by tomorrow.

 

Plus, the author is an active shooter, or so says his twitter feed.

 

This is a sample chapter from the first book: http://tacticalunderground.us/JLBourne_website/assets/DbDAexcerpt.pdf

 

Let me know if anyone likes what they read.

I've heard of this, but, like one of the reviews said, I've been turned off by a lot of the novellas/books because they end up pretty off base.

The guy gets rave reviews it seems, and for $20~ for the first two-- that isn't too bad for print. Thanks for sharing, I'll look into ordering them and giving it a read.

well, without spoiling anything, just suspend disbelief and pretend like you are reading the script for a cheesy action movie.

i recently read it. its well worth the price, and a fast, but excellent read. i already ordered the sequel, along with a few other zombie books.

I've said it before in other Zombie threads, but DbDA is my favorite zombie book. The sequel showed up in my mail box today. Looking forward to reading it.

See, I knew it sounded familiar

Interesting side note: The sequel broke Amazon's top 100 the other day (it's currently #66 as of this posting). Pretty impressive considering the first book was originally a blog. It's even more interesting if you consider today (july 13th) is the actual publication date.
