The saga continues

This is the second in the Julie Rayzor series. The writing style in the second one is a marked improvement over the first. The author stays more on point and has eliminated many of the overburdening descriptions which plagued the first.

This book picks right up where #1 finished. Julie is torn between staying in Tulsa, assisting her commander, Colonel Winters or calling it quits. Jill, Julie’s long time friend, has had enough. She wants to run off and hide where the Zomb won’t find her. Good luck there. Winters resolves the issue by sending Julie, Jill, Gary, Jim and two soldiers on a fact finding mission to Spiro. He believes there is a group there where Julie and Jill can feel safe and rebuild their shattered lives. He conceals his real reason for sending them on the mission.

What makes this a great book is the drama and storyline Richard creates. It isn’t all slash and gore. There is a bigger picture to the characters. They are well defined and easily connected with.
The caveat I enjoyed the most is how, despite this being a modern day end of the world work, it has a great flair of a Western Romance. It is very apparent the author is well versed and schooled in riding horses. With gasoline in short supply, equestrian travel is the primary mode of transportation.

The only slight I have, is the ending. Up to this point, the action is well described and exciting: the battle of Spiro, Julie’s perilous escape and the birthing of twins—not going into this, but it isn’t for the faint of heart. All three were well crafted scenes. The finale deserves the same attention.

Overall, a quick entertaining read.

Four stars.

This book I offered to read to write a review but from the start I was hooked. The plot is full of adventure and life not to mention zombies. This is the first book I have read regarding zombies but I am a fan now. I truly enjoyed this read and recommend it highly.

This book picked up where the first one ended. There was still plenty of action, but there were more plot twists. There were also several abrupt endings that U hoped will be pursued in future books. These books have the potential to be a great series in the author continues in the vein of these books.
