Outbreak #1
Outbreak: Boston
Life is tough. It gets even tougher when death isn't the end...
Senior Airman Amy Frays returned from a tour of duty in Iraq. Struggling with the readjustment of returning to college after deployment, she did not expect to find herself recalled to help deal with a riot that was going on practically on her doorstep.
Private Adam Lacey, a Marine Corps Reservist fresh out of boot camp, left his wife and four year old twins behind to deal with the violence wracking the city..
Only it was not just some garden variety civil disturbance: the military was called in to enforce a quarantine in south Boston and there was some kind of new disease.
With the world pulling itself apart around them, Frays and Lacey end up leading a group of refugees in search of something resembling safety. Where would they go? How would they find food? More importantly, how would they avoid the hordes of cannibalistic infected wandering the countryside?

I had fun reading this.
Yes, there was poor grammar. Yes, there should have been more flow and breaks in the story. But I enjoyed it all the same.
The camaraderie between Frays and Lacey was awesome. I enjoyed every moment. The fighting for your lives all the time. It was definitely great fun.
I love the very real world emotions the characters had.
So, if you’re looking for a good zombie book, get this!

Strong role model, a woman for a change. Quite a lot of military description (material, movements strategies etc...)a little bit boring at first. Then we progress in the story with a few flashbacks in the spyche of the characters but not quite enough to get attached...

September 19, 2015About as wonderful as a migraine headache, with characters that are supposed to be strong, smart, etc, but come across as stupid idiots with bad attitude. Frays in particular is one of the most annoying, lacking in both empathy and common sense.

Action packed
The main characters are military personnel w/o get deployed due to a emedvency; an apparent break out of an infection. Of course it results in zombies. At any rate, there is fight after fight, loss of life is severe.

Excellent Story
Great in depth story line. Great characters. Well written, and kept my attention from start to finish. Look forward to reading the next in the series.
