COVENANT OF THE FACELESS KNIGHTS:
When a dangerous artifact goes missing from the Temple of The Shimmering One, the high priest in charge of the artifact's protection realizes that he will not be able to retrieve the stolen relic without help. Calling upon Garius, the man who was once his own apprentice, Tiyarnon the High Priest enlists the aid of a man who is now an Inquisitor among the Order of the Faceless Knights. Garius, now a man of power and prestige, gathers a handful of allies to help complete his quest--but who among them is worthy of his trust? Aided by the mischievous Rose, a rogue among rogues, the stoic and blood thirsty Saeunn, and a promising but naive elf named Elec, Garius hopes his training as one among the Faceless Knights has prepared him to keep his small company in check, let alone survive the trials to come. Garius must lead his band of allies into dark regions to recover the artifact before it falls into the hands of the evil being that once held it in order to ensure the continued safety of the Realm of Ashenclaw.

Their quest leads them to a dark village named Hollow Hill, left vacant since the Reign of Ashenclaw. It is a place rumored to be haunted and they soon find that it is more than meets the eye. The group soon uncovers a clandestine group of highwaymen with knowledge of the artifact and much more as they attempt to uncover the many secrets hidden deep within the ebonite mines!

Okay Gary.
I'm gonna try and be constructive with this review, because I think you deserve some solid advice on how to take a great book for the zombie genre, and twist it into something that loses credibility pretty quickly. Try not to be beaten up too bad on this. First off, Goodreads says a 2 star review was 'it was okay,' and a one star review is 'I didn't like it.' I went with one star here, but on Amazon I'm thinking I'll give your book two stars. We'll see.
I loved parts of this books. The simple scenes of survival and how Alex plans and plots were solid. Great genre writing. I also thought the gore writing was well balanced. Not hack-tastic, nor too light. Great balance, good job. Your gun stuff is decent as well. No major flaws, and not overdone either. Your cover ROCKS. You'll sell copies just on that alone. I should also add that the first chapter is SOLID. Like, very inviting, and it made me want to dig right into the book. Kudos on that.
A trio of things deep sixed this book for me, and for some others based on the reviews.
Stilted dialogue. Some of the characters speak with far too little emotion given their situations, and many of them say things that are very cliched. Typical hero line fare is more common than it could be. Work on making your dialogue sound more like how people talk, and less like how people with a script for a radio serial sound.
The wolf. I didn't count, but the word count dedicated to how many times Alex talks about being the 'alpha wolf,' or says 'don't show fear' has got to be more than it needs to be. The first few times was fine, acceptable to me, and even expected. But to have the same conversation come up with every new character does not add to the story in the least. You're literally repeating yourself.
Last of all... the sex. I believe I counted four graphic sex scenes, but to be honest, after the second, I was skimming over stuff that looked like a sex scene. I cannot emphasize enough how much a truly erotic sex scene doesn't belong in a book about the apocalypse. If you want to do it short, and have it be tasteful and emotional that's one thing, but to go into the detail you go into not once, not twice, but like four times... was a bit much. Never mind the set ups for these scenes. A blowjob between two total, filthy strangers? I mean hell, the main character sleeps with two different women after losing his wife within days of each other, and it isn't even a big deal for him. Sure, he protests, but man... It just rang false.
Here's a genuine bit of good news: you can write some hella sex scenes. Switch up the genre, lean heavily on that kind of writing, and you are gonna make some money, and I mean that.
I wanted to love this book after the sex scenes, but just couldn't take it seriously. Sorry. Wish you the best.

It's like HBO made an adult version of The Walking Dead.

I enjoyed this book. I generally don't read this genre, but have been an avid fan of zombie films for as long as I can recall. To me, it seems like you get two sorts of zombie pieces: blood, guts and glory, or survival. This was a book more centered on the survival of a (mostly) lone man and his wolf.
For the bulk of the book, it's the main character and his day to day routine, which I liked. Before it even begins to feel boring from repetition (as is the danger of a survival book) something, or someone comes along to change the pace and the overall equation. The writer does a great job of keeping it fresh and entertaining, which is not an easy task given how the genre itself is feeling stale (as far as the films go).
There are several sexual encounters, bordering erotica, but they are well done and clearly mentioned in the description of the book. I wouldn't let it deter you from reading this.
I've seen a few reviews of this book that were upset with the ending (no spoilers, don't worry) - personally, I didn't see it as a lazy way out of a proper ending. To me, it left the book open to a sequel by ending with a question: what the heck just happened?

I get paid to criticize, I found your book refreshing, with strong female and male characters. EXCITING, ORIGINAL, KEPT ME ON THE EDGE OF THE SEAT WANTING MORE.
I have notified my employer of this rare find and suggested to the New York Times.
it was refreshing to put a popular subject with a twist you'd never expect.
I look forward to reading more of your work.
Mr. Vanucci,
Please note many people can not write books. Most are just readers. The criticism I have been viewing is from readers. ( which are not Critics either ) I do not know you. Nor, do they sheep will always follow each other instead of looking into there own visions, because they are to busy looking at someone else's rear end hence followers!

This novel made me seriously nostalgic for an old pen and paper RPG called All Flesh Must Be Eaten. That, in and of itself, deserves a decent review.
It's one man's survival in a world that's gone to s*** and the various people, some just as s***ty as the world, that he encounters along the way. Sure to appeal to the DayZ and Rust crowd.

I read the book in two sittings, I couldn't put it down. Things that happened in the book I didn't expect to happen which made me continue reading so I could see what was going to happen next. There wasn't a dull moment in the book. The author did an excellent job. TWO THUMBS UP!!!!!!
August 11, 2016
This was a good zombie book. Sometimes after you read a few zombie books, they all turn out the same. This one wasn't like that. It was different, with lots of turns. Zombie fans will enjoy this book!
May 21, 2014
If you like books about dealing with zombies, you will definitely like this one. I was hooked by the second page, and couldn't wait to see what happened next. After finishing the book, I felt like I had just watched a movie. I wish it would go to the big screen, I would be first in line.
April 6, 2014
I think this was a very well written book by an aspiring new author. "wake the dead" was truly riveting and had heart-pounding action! I look forward to more works from this author.

Zombie apocalypse
Good Zombie novel, good characterization, interesting situations, but the ending fell flat for me. I'm hoping there is a follow-up to explain it.

Great book. Disappointed with the ending though. Just cut off and seemed like there would be more.hope he comes out with another one.
June 10, 2014
Wake the Dead by Gary Vanucci is an excellent introduction to a new apocalyptic world. With a brief introduction to how the zombie apocalypse, the story begins to follow Alex as he attempts to survive in heavily changed world. The author provides us with enough back story to grow a connection to the main character, and then jumps right into the action.
Basically written as three acts, we start with tragedy befalling Alex and his exodus into a zombie infested world. In the second act, Alex comes across a young wolf and finds a cabin in a secluded area where he sets up a base. While he tries to establish a new home for himself, he comes across another survivor and a relationship quickly blooms. Of course, nothing stable lasts in a zombie apocalypse and Alex soon finds himself on the move again. The third act find him meeting up with a group that is trying to gain control over a renaissance fare. The action is heaviest in this section, with an ending both unexpected and far from the norm in this kind of novel.
Overall I found this to be an incredibly fun read with a lot of twists and turns. Gary Vanucci certainly breathes some new life into the genre and I look forward to seeing what happens in his new world next.

I can not begin to put into words how much I enjoyed this novel. I am a big fan of Zombie Apocalypse books and stories and get a real thrill when one really stands out, and this one does! The story line kept me turning the pages while in places the suspense made me wonder if the characters where even going to make it.
Alex had his life turn upside and his heat broken into a million pieces the day the world went to hell. While he did earn an undying friendship with a young wolf, Shadow, he also lost many and much along the way before he is able he is able to find any kind of normality, if he ever does.
Highly recommended for any horror or zombie fan!

In the very first page, there were fluctuations between first person and third person. OK, bad editing, I'll give the first couple instances a pass assuming the story/writing is good.
It really wasn't. There are much better ways to present flashbacks other than "Alex remembered that day" or "Alex recalled that day" or "Again, another daydream took him back..."
I couldn't even finish this one.

I enjoyed the book more than I thought I would. However, like most readers, I skipped the last 3 sex scenes.
I am not sure if there is a part two because it sounded like there will be. But who knows.
This book isn't a page-turner so I did held this off and read other books. If you don't have lots on your to-read list than this book is quite a fast read. Only 257 pages.

The book is mid-way between bad and good. Maybe it is because I've read so many zombie apocalypse novels, that made this one seem so tame. Several good sex scenes-- probably too many in a 275 page book that wasn't about sex in the first place!
July 9, 2014
A fun zombie romp. There are good descriptions and some steamy sex scenes. There is a wolf, always a plus in my opinion. I'm looking forward to the next one.

Another zombie thriller...
I must say that what drew me to this book was the cover art. I am a fan of the Walking Dead so the rest of the story is something that I generally enjoy watching so I thought I would give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised with the exception that he found all these women who were beautiful in such circumstances to save and then sleep with. Not very reassuring to us less than astoundingly attractive ladies of which there are currently more of us average ladies than the stunningly attractive variety populating this world. So I took away half a star for that and another half a star for the faux paus for one of the group who turned zombie and had to be killed by one of the group members, suddenly his name is mentioned again toward the end of the book like his death and turning never happened. All in all it as a good read although my favorite character is Shadow.

I enjoyed it!!
If you like zombies, then this is a book for you. Good zombie action, some bad guys, and a little 'romance' made for an enjoyable read.

DNF. The writing just bugged me too much. So there is a chance I missed a really good story.

Good read, on book 2 of the 2 book series. it is different that other zombie stories and I like that.

The premise of "Wake the Dead: A Graphic Zombie Apocalypse Novel" encouraged me to purchase this book. The zombies are already roaming the earth when a young man comes across a young wolf pup being attacked by a group of zombies. The protagonist comes to his rescue and they become life-long friends and watch each others' back. The author continues to make his point through the story about a pack mentality and the need for the main character to be the "Alpha Male" and show no fear..
I thought it was a unique twist when the main character reaches the site of a former Renaissance Festival and finding the surviving employees dressed in character and used swords, spears, body armor, and other weapons of the time when fighting the zombies. .
The author has created edge of your seat suspense in many of the scenes as the protagonist and his wolf are surely trapped and won't survive the experience. On a down note, the author writes explicit sex scenes for the main character in which he beds four different gorgeous women. One may be okay in a pinch, but four? I believe sex scenes are out of place in a zombie story...they just don't fit! Additionally, I found the writing in the last quarter of the story to be rushed and sketchy. There were also too many typo's and added or missing words from the text. I would strongly recommend an editor to go over it.
If you are a zombie addict, then don't buy this book! The graphic sex descriptions are extremely distracting and turned me off to the story - surely, it would do the same for you.

Ugh. I had a very hard time muddling thru this one.
September 6, 2015
None of the other reviews mention the bear traps? The main character has a pet wolf living with him at his cabin, finds a pile of steel traps up in the attic and then sets them all around the yard to catch zombies. "This old wolf ain't dumb enough to step in this here old trap, yuck, yuck, yuck." And it turns out that the wolf didn't step in a trap, but his GIRLFRIEND, when chased by ZOMBIES... gets caught in a trap and is immediately caught by zombies. That's OK, the part that bothers me is the next chapter he's eating the food out of her back pack and says "Well #@*#!, at least the stupid $*&@#* had enough sense to pack some food in this here old back pack. Here wolfy, have some tooona feeesh."
September 9, 2016
By chapter 2, the writing was making me tune out and I skimmed the rest of the book. The ending was anticlimactic and what was up with all the sex? I also didn't understand why the guy kept hitting the wolf. It was stupid and unnecessary and as an FYI to the author, maybe do some research on the CURRENT guidelines of animal/dog training, as the alpha stuff is garbage.
May 31, 2015
Don't believe the reviews on how this is an adult version of the Walking Dead - far far from it. I was greatly disappointed in not only the story but how it was written. This is more like fan fiction from a hormone crazed sixteen year old. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read - but not something I could recommend to anyone.
June 3, 2014
Good: sex scenes. Bad: rest of book. So sad.
