Gabriel Garrett has seen it all.
War, hardship, and violence have chased him at every turn, but Gabriel has weathered every challenge. Now, however, he faces a battle far more dangerous than any he has endured.
Kidnapped by a ruthless gang, Gabriel finds himself in a fight for survival. Using his hard-earned skills and iron will, he manages to break free - only to stumble upon a conspiracy that threatens everything he has fought to protect.
A powerful cabal of conspirators lurks in the shadows, orchestrating a coup that could topple what remains of the federal government. Their plan is an attack so devastating it could plunge the fragile remnants of the Union into chaos.
Now, Gabriel finds himself in a race against time. He will need all of his resources and every one of his allies to unravel the conspiracy and stop the attack before it's too late. The fate of a nation hangs in the balance, and failure means devastation for all.
Action-packed and full of James N. Cook’s signature gritty realism and suspense, don’t miss this exciting tenth installment of the Surviving the Dead series!

Loving it once again

Finally! The book I felt like was never going to come! Once again James Cook sucked me in and I devoured his hard work in less than 24 hours. I’m waiting on the next one…again.

There are very few authors and book series, especially zombies/ghouls/apocalypse ones, that I've stuck with for over 10 years now (have I really been reading Surviving the Dead books for 13 years now?!) - James is one of 3 actually. I've loved this series since the beginning and this latest book doesn't disappoint.

Phenomenal writing, non-stop action, and plenty of twists and turns. I never thought this book would be released and I'm so very glad that it did. I can't wait for the next one!

No surprise, another great installment.

Mr. Cook is back with maybe the best one yet. The action starts almost immediately and doesn't let up. Well written as always, can't wait to see what comes next.

All the Good People Live

This book is a page Turner. But, as you would expect, in a book that has developed characters, they are not gonna die, but other key people can die, but the drama in the build have me flipping pages through the middle of the book like crazy

The only thing that would be cool is if the book has some sex. Reality is if we’re playing with guns, and we’re bragging about our knowledge of all of the weaponry, in the top three always is ladies, and if you’re a woman, then it’s men , and the interaction of the two of them is reality.

In a post apocalyptic world that is something that would be present because we would be more in our primal state.

This book captured my attention. I was sad that it ended where it did. I am eagerly awaiting for the next.

The Good: Gabe, Eric, and all of the rest of the gang are back. So is the great writing we've come to expect from Mr. Cook.

The Bad: Cliffhanger!

oh man. it’s been too long.

Lots of zombie series get boring at some point. Absolutely not the case here. Waiting for book 11 is going to absolutely murder me!

Too many years to write a series

13 years to write 10 books, great series but who the hell remembers how the series started 13 years later, the storyline is lost, ridiculous
