He has been featured in countless online publications as a critical reviewer and has spent the last three years crafting the epic zombie series, Dext of the Dead.
Fans of The Walking Dead are going to love this series. The characters are realistic and witty, the dialogue is great and the writing is quickly paced. The series should do well. Recommended.
The fourth book continues the adventures of Dext and his group of people. We have seen them struggle, lose loved ones and take revenge on those who have terrorized them and killed members of their group.
Now, as the group hits the road again, in search of the military group Kilo...they run across more troubles and some helpful information. Eventually they make it to a military secured facility where Dr. Morofsky is studying Subject 17 and a possible vaccine.
The inserts of the dialogue between the Colonel Lang and Chalmers and Morofsky is an interesting part of the story that kept me wondering what was really going on and it was nice to see some history on how the outbreak really started and what and who was behind it. The 'spark' is an interesting concept.
Dext's group won't take crap from no one, not even those in a secured military facility. But standing up to those finally earns them some answers into what is going on in the world. They are then charged with the task of getting Kylee and Subject 17 to Fort Bragg.
During this new mission, they encounter raiders, lose more of the group and gain a new friend. They also meet up with a group from Vegas. They had a pretty interesting set up also. Things go wrong quickly though, as they often due with everyone's emotions high and in survival mode. All too soon, Vegas is history, but at least they have some new faces along for the ride.
The story of Dext and his group continues to be compelling and terrifying. It portrays the worst of human nature when it comes to survival and the best. It shows morals and chaos.
The character development continues to develop that now we know these people and you truly feel emotion when they are no longer a part of the story. The story line is a great pace and I can't wait to see what the final installment brings!
I was given the book "We Are the Extinction" by Steve Kuhn in exchange for an honest review. I am going to be sad when this series ends I have grown to love the characters. The twists in this book will keep you guessing until the very end.
Dext and his group are still on the tail of kilo company when Murphy points out that the facility he used to work at is close. they decide to go see if its still running and if they can get any answers. Kylee learns some shocking news about her father Colonel Peel and the things she was lead to believe. Lilly grows into one tough little cookie with thanks to JC. As a group along with Chalmers they head to Fort Bragg in hopes of going over the Colonels head in order to put an end to this. Along the way dext gets his wish when they end up in Vegas but its not the party strip it was once known as. Can they survive Vegas long enough to complete the mission?
I just can't get enough of Dext Of The Dead with just one book left in the series I can't wait to find out what happens. I'm also dreading the end I don't want to stop reading them. Steve has done a wonderful job it's one of the best zombie series I have ever read. I give it 5 stars go buy it at amazon for under $5.
Yet another incredible continuation of this series. Stephen is an excellent author, very skilled and knows how to draw his audience in. He captivates them and moves them along beautifully in this fast paced, action packed book. I am always amazed how the author finds new ways to put twists and turns into the story that actually make sense and complete the story line as it should.
Dext has handled everything that has been thrown at him. Throughout I feel he is growing and changing, but not loosing his humanity, which would be hard to do. Kylee is also one of my favorites and Lilly is coming along beautifully in this 4th installment. It is always sad though when characters you grow to read about have an unexpected exit. But I guess you could say that has to be expected in a zombie story.
This is one of my favorite zombie stories I have read so far. Even though it is about a well covered topic, Stephen still found a unique approach to it all.
I am happy yet sad that I will now move onto book 5, which completes the series.
I have received this book from the author for an honest review.
I have to say...each book in the series gets more suspenseful as I read. I really don't like the abrupt endings but must admit that it makes me rush to get the next book.
This is a great apocalyptic zombie story that Author, Steve Kuhn does an expert job of keeping me reading and wanting more.
I highly recommend this series. AGAIN, KUDOS MR. KUHN ON A TALE WELL TOLD.
