The Fall
Book edited 08/April/2014
Terrorists strike everywhere around the globe spraying a deadly virus from canisters disguised as aerosol cans. They head for airports, museums, football games...anywhere that has the highest concentration of people.
Twenty hours later the victims sicken and die.
Then they rise...as zombies...
Forty eight hours later the death toll is in the tens of millions.
Civilization collapses, people are fighting for survival as the dead batter at their places of refuge. There is no cure, no place that is effectively safe, the creatures know where the living are hiding.
Follow Ed as he witnesses the first days of the time known as The Great Dying and see him trying to survive in a world that is being dominated by the dead.

About the author
Steven Beddoe
11 books2 followersI'm fifty one years old the last time I counted and that's as much as I cared to count up to nowadays.
I once worked for the Civil Service and suffered through well over twenty years of duty to them before deciding that enough was enough and so I left to become a teacher for the disabled.
Now I am a part time writer with several books to my name already and I'm working on the third Van Helsing book.
I also work as an extra and so far have appeared in several shows, most notably Atlantis.

Fun read
Won't be everyone's cup of tea.. I found it to be well written and some good character development. Have it on my list for next installment

I don't like giving negative reviews, but I am honest to a fault.
The outline of the story is a good one, but the editing of this book is TERRIBLE. Commas placed in all the wrong places, misspelled words, run on sentences, you name it. This really needed a good editor who could smooth out the rough patches.
My biggest gripe though, was the whole redneck hillbilly thing. I mean, I know the writer is from the UK, but seriously? The narrator assumes that hillbilly rednecks are only in the Deep South? Hell, they even have them where he is from. Talking about inbred trash, etc was off putting to me, being from the South. I really don't know if I will read the next installment or not.

Steven Beddoe's The Fall is a decent story about surviving a zombie outbreak.
We learn early on who caused the contagion and why. Most of the story is told to the reader by the main character who has documented his personal experience throughout the outbreak. With that in mind, it would have been a nice touch if parts of the story was marked by date entries.
While there are double spaces here and there, the absence of chapters or page breaks gives the impression that I was reading a newspaper and not a book.
With a bit more polishing, The Fall could be another gripping entry to any zombie lover's collection.
