Double Barrel: Season 1
"5-stars. Grey West has created a world that's inventive, completely unexpected, and bursting at the seams with mayhem. Fans of THE WALKING DEAD and genre mash-ups like ABRAHAM LINCOLN VAMPIRE HUNTER will love Double Barrel." -Jeremy Robinson, Bestselling Author of SecondWorld and Threshold

But first they must escape Manhattan before it's overrun by the undead.
Four survivors.
Two adrenaline-laced stories.
One incredible journey that will pit them against the world.

About the author
Grey West
8 books9 followersGREY WEST is the author and creator of the Double Barrel series of novels.
Born in [OMITTED] and raised by [CLASSIFIED], he discovered his gift for words at an early age. He eventually learned to write, which mercifully made good use of those words since he wasn't particularly gifted at speaking.
Following in the footsteps of his parents, he studied Differential History and Dubious Occultism with the world-renowned professor [CONFIDENTIAL] at [TOP SECRET], receiving three PhD's, highest honors from the faculty, and a letter from the Queen promising eventual knighthood provided he kept his oath to warn her of any imminent apocalypses-zombie, robotic, alien or otherwise.
He now lives in [VERY, VERY SECRET] with [EVEN MORE SECRET THAN THAT LAST BIT] and spends his days making stuff up for a living, enjoying fine food and drink, and warding off enemies so evil they cannot be mentioned here. He also likes the number three for obvious reasons.

A zombie apocalypse in the late 1800s is West’s concept for his novel, released in serial form (this edition collects the first six “episodes”). Each chapter alternates between two converging storylines: the gun-slinging Barrel brothers seek the source of the plague, while the enigmatic Drake children carry information of a potential cure. West paces well (though a few of the episode-ending “cliff hangers” are a bit contrived) and has created compelling characters on a captivating journey.

What can I say... I normally and frequently don't want much to do with either Western novels or with Zombie genre.
Until one day I took a chance and snagged Double Barrel Season One. Now I'm an avid fan who is eagerly awaiting the next Season to be issued.
It grabbed my attention and drew me into the story and kept me immersed inside until I figuratively fell out of my chair when the last page was turned. Excellent writing, in my humble opinion.
