LEFT ALIVE (A Dystopian Zombie apocalypse series Box Set): Books 1-6 of the Post-apocalyptic zombie action and adventure series
Adults only due to graphic violence and sexual situations. Books 1 - 6
LEFT ALIVE #1
The world is dead. Plants gone. Animals gone. The air is thick with dust and ash. Water has turned to murky cesspools of death and decay. Life and Earth as we know it are gone—at least all the good parts.
It’s been almost a year since the first signs that we killed our planet began to arise. Order and humanity are gone now, replaced by vigilante justice and survival at all costs. Nine months have passed since the quarantines were put in place. Six months since we realized it was too late, and just after that the governments of the world fell.
That was nearly seven billion people ago, and now Charles has decided it is time to pack up and leave in search of the one thing still worth living for—his daughters.
With rumors of roving bands of cannibals, and even zombies, he knows making the journey is a long shot, but he has to try. He promised their dying mother that he would keep them safe and has every intention of doing just that, come hell or hungry zombies.
In a soulless world filled with nothing but pain and death, will his determination be enough to see him through to the end?
LEFT ALIVE #2
Awaking to the grim realization that his arm is missing, Charles finds himself in a situation he’s never considered before. He’s no longer alone.
Having saved his life, Lindsay joins him in his effort to reach Florida. Finding what could likely be the last remains of civilization, they are forced to flee from things even worse than the walking dead.
LEFT ALIVE #3
With the loss of Lindsay, Charles clings to his humanity by a thread of little more than desperation. With vengeance in his heart, he takes the fight to the zealots.
Fleeing Atlanta, he is haunted by his past and the memories of those he has loved. Injured and close to death, he seeks out the only remaining thing dear to him—his daughters.
LEFT ALIVE #4
With Charles’ fated arrival, the lives of his daughters is in upheaval. Torn between thinking him a madman—a victim of the current world, or their father—having come to rescue them, Lexi and Valerie are forced to decide upon what to do. With their security, their way of live, and their survival on the line, they decide that their father’s dying words were not those of a rambling madman, but the wish and warning of a father. With the name Jason firmly ingrained in their minds, a highway map of the United States with crude markings upon it, and hearts full of determination, they set out into the world to discover just what it was their father died trying to convey to them.
LEFT ALIVE #5
With religious fanatics hot on their trail, Valerie is forced to deliver Lexi’s child in the filthy cab of the truck. Tiny, the child clings to life as they are hunted relentlessly. Finding themselves caught between the living murderers and the starving undead, a member of their small party must be sacrificed in order for the others to survive.
LEFT ALIVE #6
Val, Lexi, Greg, and little Charlie are all that are left. Having lost as many members of their little party that now remain, the trio are forced to struggle on their own; injured, starving, dehydrated, and delirious.
With no other options, they are forced to take life-altering chances in an effort to find the elusive Jason, and hopefully with him, a way to save mankind.

About the author
Jeremy Laszlo
108 books296 followersFirst and foremost I am a father and a husband. I work full time as a civilian employed by the US army, and have also been known as a welder, electrician, carpenter, roofer, writer, painter, CNC machinist, and amongst many other things a romantic. I also belong to the eternal fraternal brotherhood of the United States Marine Corps, having served 8 years that showed me a much broader perspective of the world at large serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Enduring Freedom, The war on Terrorism, and the humanitarian effort in Liberia.
I currently live in southern Louisiana with my wife and children, though I grew up in Michigan, graduating high school in Mason MI. I also spent time living in North Carolina, Florida, and California during my time in the United States Marine Corps. I have always dreamed of publishing my work, and seeing it on a bookshelf in a store, however with the huge shift to digital media I finally realized that the dream was in my own hands. I tell my children that they can live their dreams, and I believe in leading by example.
I enjoy writing across several different genres from poetry, to children's stories, to full epic fantasies. Creating new characters for my readers to connect with, new worlds for them to immerse themselves in, and new ideas to wrap their minds around is an amazing if not humbling experience. I hope that all my readers can take something away from each of my books, and enjoy reading them just as much as I have enjoyed putting them in print.

As you might have already seen, I’m fast becoming a fan of Mr. Lazlo; his dark, skeptical view of the world fits in perfectly with this novel. ‘Left alive,’ is a post apocalyptic zombie thriller, of the best kind. It is set in an empty, distraught, spiteful world; one that seeps through people skins and turns them into Zombies. A genetic project that went horribly wrong has ruined the world.
This is perhaps the darkest and most demoralizing Zombie book I’ve read, I loved it. No, big love interest and a new society, no, just death, death and more seething death. It’s hard to see how there will be a happy ending in this one. But who reads Zombies for happy endings?
I’d recommend this novel to anyone who likes the dark side, don’t expect a laugh a minute and you won’t be disappointed.

Charlie is a teacher/survivalist struggling to get across the U.S. to find his daughters. The world is dead and the cards are stacked against him. Some parts are a bit repetitive, but I still really enjoyed it. I finished all three books in a cpl evenings because I had to see what happened next. At one point as Laszlo describes Charlie digging out a bullet with only a razor knife and a pair of needle nose pliers, I sat the book down and thought "Son of a b**ch." I am very curious to see where the story goes from here, and look forward to the next installment.

Exceptionally Good Book
This series grips you were you never thought a story could. I have a lot of books in this genre and am always extremely excited when I find one that is totally different from the others. This is that and more. Loved it and read books 1-6 in one setting. I can barely wait until the next one is out to see where Lazlo takes this story.

While repetitive in places this is a brilliant story. There are many twists and turns I didn't expect as the storyline progressed. I especially didn't expect what was happeningcat the end. Basically, the ending really was a new beginning and I would have liked to have been a part of it.

Left Alive #2: A Zombie Action and Adventure Novel by Jeremy Laszlo (Only Book #2) Left Alive #2: A Zombie Action and Adventure Novel by Jeremy Laszlo starts where Left Alive #1 stopped. It is a post-apocalyptic, dystopian novel which is peopled with zombies of a different nature. I gave it five stars.
"Everyone had been tainted with the fertilizer that unleashed an agricultural plague to end all plagues across the planet. I had watched on the news as they showed us the devastation. They showed us the quarantines and the evacuations. There were the food strikes, the hunger and fear that drove average citizens into hostile frenzies...War erupted on a nearly global scale."
Charlie meets Lindsay who had saved his life before. She saved him again. He woke to missing his arm that had been caught in a bear trap by a Hunter.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Left Alive #3.
