ExHumed
Blood runs freely in the new world, and those who spill it rule what’s left.It’s been two months since the plague tore through the world, leaving civilization in fragments and walking corpses of the dead in its wake. Some people try to rebuild their towns. Others try to hide.
V does neither.
From the ruins of Fort Chaffee, she leads her people west, leaving behind devastation, rumors, and bodies. Survivors across the country speak her name with awe and dread. Rumors say she conquers everything in her path, executes men with her bare hands, and even walks through machine gun fire and lives to fight again.
They are right.
Vincent Harding is a man on a mission. He’s following the trail of bodies, the path of painted Vs, and the rumors, looking for evidence—no matter how small—that Sera Vale might still be alive somewhere in the legendary army they now call V’s Unified Forces.
Instead, he finds brutal devastation, a familiar face with a new name, and a mission he never asked for. When V and the Watchman finally meet again, it won’t just be a reunion, it will be a war.
The last time they stood together, the world fell apart. This time, it will kneel.

Nonsensical. Let's start with V suddenly, within 2 months is able to know advanced military tactics that even actual military personnel are impressed and afraid of. At the ripe age of 19. Laying waste to every military holdout/base around. Every one of those officers were sadist, evil men who held people hostage, saved the good stuff for them etc. Not a single good one around, all of them malevolent - but V is oh so benevolent. Give me a break.
She's a hypocrite of note, on one hand she says it's about human life that's needed for the future. On the other, she prefers wanton destruction - especially of the military. She surrounds herself with veterans who are complicent and have no issue with her methods. Her tactics are the best. Experienced military commanders and soldiers are all lazy - they don't clear out safe zones around the perimeters, they don't have forward lookouts - they just get caught with their pants down every single time.
V immediately kills anyone who's even grazed by an undead nail, but she chose to stay alive when she was properly scratched. Just to effect the Messiah complex of the author, that V is the only one to survive infection. But that's a lie now isn't it? Since one would never know.
V punishes a soldier with lashes because he disobeyed her. He merely started saying he had orders from someone else. She doesn't let him finish. She shouts the "do you know who I am?" nonsense. Calls the soldier's superior officer but doesn't ask what the orders were. This is terrible writing.
V faces down Smith, the commander of a base. He has her people at gunpoint. He doesn't fire. Roles reversed, she'd be written to fire. Then she starts firing at her people to injure them. At which point, able soldiers drop their weapons and run. Really? That would never happen. The hostages and V would have been violently gunned down. Then we have US government/military wanting to have "peace talks" with V. Whilst they have a working military and B-52 bombers. Really? In which logical world would that happen? None. V would have been blown to oblivion. Vincent decides to drive 350 odd miles to meet V. Instead of being flown back to initial base. He drives & is promptly ambushed. Ridiculous writing. Suffice it to say, Vincent finds V, they kiss & romance. He sides with her, the military attack but she of course is always steps ahead. She defeats an entire 1000-man battalion of trained troops, tanks and bombers.
Oh, remember the horde of hundreds of thousands that were, at one stage 45 minutes behind V's crew? Yeah, they're never really mentioned again. Vincent sees signs of a massive horde but he never catches up either.
I couldn't find a picture of the author, however, I wonder if she has bright blue or pink hair, buzz cut or so. That's it for me, won't be touching this insane series again, if it continues.
