About the author

I studied History at Sheffield Hallam University. I'm an Indie author and write with my friend Sam Campbell. Together we've created a series of zombie westerns.

I have lots of ideas to develop and hope to bring some new interesting books to the world.

In this installment of the Red Dust series, Isaac and Masterson have joined with Chief Avonaco and his dog soldiers to hunt and kill the creature that started the Rising Plague.
Along the way they must battle prejudice townspeople and ruthless bandits before they meet up with their prey.
The battles in this episode are fierce, the ending will leave you breathless.
I enjoyed this segment. I am curious to see what is going to happen next.
I recommend this episode (series) to readers of the Horror-Zombies genre.
I would note that this book is not a standalone. Readers are advised to read this series in the order written.

It should be noted that I received a free copy of this book from the author via Goodreads, for a fair and honest review.

As Masterson and Isaac venture together toward the mountain man's ultimate goal, to kill the creature Masterson believes started the Riser plague. They are joined on their journey by Chief Avonaco and his warriors, among them his son Hiamovi and daughter Kimi who befriend the otherwise lonely Iaasc.

Together they discover settlers fleeing the coming Risers, fear and tensions run high as blame becomes it's own kind of plague. Trust must be a thing earned and not given freely, for the consequences of blind belief are proven a deadly danger perhaps more sinister than the Risers themselves.

The story in this book was enjoyable but it is really the sixth part of a serialized novel in my opinion. The plot continues and I am glad to read more about Masterson. There were some interesting twists and some which seemed predictable. I tried to be charitable but the grammar and usage issues in the second half finally got to me and I had to dock a star for them. I understand the cultural differences and had to no problem there but the incorrect use of 's for plural and leaving out the apostrophe for the possessive (and other errors that should have been caught in proofreading) became common enough to become distracting.

Our characters are coming together - Masterson from The Lost Party, Isaac from The Last Rider, and a troupe of Indians - as the forces of the living seek to end the plague of the Risers.

This one's gory and cruel.
