DEAD: Box Set 2
The DEAD box set Vol 2 contains the second 3 books of the DEAD series (Winter, Siege & Survival, and Confrontation)
The DEAD saga continues...
Winter is coming... As survivors around the world struggle to get their feet under them in a world overrun by the walking dead, a new problem rears its head. As unstoppable as any horde of zombies, the seasons march on, heedless of the fragility of the human race. The first winter is approaching.
Up in the mountains of northeastern Oregon, Steve's band settles in but discover something so horrible that it may destroy them before the weather has a chance. Kevin faces ghosts from his past while struggling to maintain unity among his people. In other parts of this dead world, a team of scientists struggle to devise a cure... A new pharaoh rises in Egypt... Chad learns he will do anything to keep his daughter safe... Juan struggles with the demons of his past that tell him he is unfit to lead...or love... A military unit tries to restore order at any cost...
Dead: Winter
The first winter has come, and with it, new problems. No longer are the zombies the biggest threat to survival. With the global infrastructure gone, people are forced to do whatever it takes to survive...even the unthinkable.
Steve faces his toughest decision yet as he tries to lead his people through one nightmare after another. Kevin risks everything to save one girl and finds himself in the middle of a military fight for power. Juan fights his way home, but soon finds himself leaving the island...at the worst time possible. Two women set out for London...but one has a secret that she is keeping under wraps. One man seeks to be a god as a new exodus occurs in Egypt. A soldier abandons his post, but can he escape his duty?
The darkest days have come now that winter has most of the world in its clutches.
Dead: Siege & Survival
Several months have passed since the dead began to walk. The first winter has taken its toll in more ways than one as humanity continues to struggle to survive.
Not every threat to humanity comes form the undead as so many have discovered man's ability to sink into depravity with the absence of law and order. Time and again survivors have fought, run. and regrouped. Yet, there seems to be no respite, and as winter draws on...things become more and more difficult to endure. A new threat seems to materialize even before the last can be dealt with. And if the physical toll was not enough, the hours of isolation and the time left with one's thoughts can become just as destructive.
How much more can you take?

About the author
T.W. Brown
96 books303 followersTucked away in the Pacific Northwest with my wife Denise, a Border Collie named Aoife, a guitar collection, and an increasing number of aquariums sporting a variety of fish (cichlids are my new favorites), I live for football season when I can cheer on the Oregon Ducks and be disappointed by my Seattle Seahawks once again. I am a fan of Cookie Monster, KISS, and Dr. Who (along with most things British).
As a person who always dreamed of writing as well as one completely enthralled by all things zombie, it is hard to believe that I never once considered writing in the genre. It is true. I wanted to be more “mainstream”. The first novel I actually wrote is titled Dakota (as Todd Brown). It is about a pair of DEA types tossed back in time to just prior to the start of the Civil War. They are in Charleston, South Carolina, and one of them is an African-American.
The zombie thing really started when I wrote a short for a college Creative Writing class. The teacher, Ms. Bose, pulled me up and told me I had an obvious love for the subject and a real talent for the style. I decided to give it a shot.
The first thing I cobbled together was Zomblog. I wrote it as a warm up for the project I had brewing in the back of my mind. It is a journal account of the apocalypse. The funny thing is that it was never intended to be published. A few things happened and it ended up being presented to me as a gift in book format by my wife for a Christmas present. There was something I will never forget about holding the copy of that book in my hand the first time.
Because it gained a readership, and those readers asked for more, I made it a trilogy (Zomblog, Zomblog II, and Zomblog: The Final Entry). It is also because of those fans that I have returned to the Zomblog universe and just released the sixth (and FINAL) book in the series on Halloween of 2013: Zomblog: Snoe's Journey. I freely admit that I will sellout my plans to write what the fans ask for.
I really want my DEAD series to be what I am known for, and in the last year, it has really taken off. However, I will say that with the release of the fourth book in the DEAD series (DEAD: Winter), the numbers started to pick up beyond my wildest dreams.
The DEAD series (DEAD: The Ugly Beginning, DEAD: Revelations, and DEAD: Fortunes & Failures, DEAD: Winter, DEAD: Siege & Survival, DEAD: Confrontation, DEAD: Reborn) is scheduled to be a 12 part epic series.
It is told in three rotating chapters. One is from the first person perspective of Steve Hobart, a man thrust into the role of leader for a group of survivors struggling to keep alive. One chapter follows a group of four self-professed zombie “geeks” who initially believe that the zombie apocalypse would be fun and soon discover that it is nothing like the movies. The third of the rotating chapters is called “Vignettes” and is a series of snapshots from all around the world. Some of the vignettes are single chapter episodes, others are continuing threads that carry on for several chapters. A few are merged into the Steve story or the Geek story line.
Last year,I began my horror/comedy series, "That Ghoul Ava" and have found it to be my new guilty pleasure.

I only discovered TW Brown a couple of weeks ago, and have already devoured the first six of the Dead series and am back for more. I've been a fan of a certain well-known zombie comic since its inception more than a decade ago but never really got into "zombie fiction" until now. With only Brown's first book I discovered that I was hooked, lined, and sunk.
Brown's writing style is so real and accessible you will find yourself throughout your day wondering what's going on with the characters. They easily become that tangible almost immediately. The pace never wavers, and the humanity you unexpectedly encounter will really catch you off guard. I never thought a novel about zombies would bring me to tears - and this series has done just that - on more than one occasion.
In short, it's tremendous.
If you're a fan of the genre, you definitely NEED to read this series - if you're not sure, give this one a bite - it's delicious.

Very high praise
I am so very happy to be able to give this second set in the DEAD series the five star rating I wanted to give the first set but just could not. With the exception of my (personal) issue with the first set, Mr. Brown receives my very highest praise. I'll be honest that I'm still not crazy about the broken up way the various story lines are presented; however, I understand it's really the only way possible to do it.

Reality Fu*kin' Bites!
Deeper and deeper down a decayed rabbit hole and all I can do is make sure I'm wearing enough protective gear to accept the pain of loss in between victories that have become more like trade-offs... This ain't no easy ride! between that, and whomever is meant to catch all those typos that manage to keep occurring way too frequently, and this reads to me more authentic than any other book or movie I've watched, read or series... which says a helluva

Yes. A class above the other zombie books!!!
The action is fast paced, but don't fall in love or get attached to characters. Everyone's life is up for grabs. Realistic. Fun. Believable. Action packed. And lots and lots and lots of ZOMBIES!!!

Awesome!
This whole series is awesome! I like the fact that you get to see the zombie apocalypse from so many different points of views of a wide variety of ages.
