The Hungry #6
The Rule of Three
The zombies must be stopped...
Sheriff Penny Miller has come too far and lost too many friends to quit now. She and her companions have made it safely to Mountain Home, Idaho, the operation center of the three-person Enhanced Bioweapons Select Committee that controls the nation’s response to the zombie outbreak. Miller knows they are still funding the research that started the zombie apocalypse.
And Miller didn’t come to the home of the zombies to attend a church social.
When Sheriff Miller stumbles across a homegrown militia whose leader shares her hatred of the Select Committee, she sees the opportunity she’s been waiting for. Together with Major McDivitt and his team, Sheriff Miller sets out to destroy the three committee members who have the most to gain from the spread of the zombie virus. One last mission should finish the job.
...Unless they know she’s coming.

About the author
Steven W. Booth
13 books54 followersLike many authors, I've held far too many jobs. My most favorite was not really a job, but a volunteer position as the seneschal of the SCA Canton of St. David's at UC Santa Cruz. My least favorite was being a taxi driver. Today I am very happy being the publisher at Genius Book Publishing. Who knows what the future will bring?
I have earned a BA in Economics/Business with a minor in Medieval History from UC Santa Cruz, an MBA in Nonprofit Management from the University of Judaism (now called American Jewish University), and a Masters in Teaching from National University. I consider myself heavily over-educated (which is not necessarily the best thing to be), but still have aspirations to get a PhD in my 60s and write a book on the history of deregulation in the United States. What's that got to do with zombies, I have no idea.
I have collaborated on every published project I have, and I really admire and appreciate my collaborators. I do have aspirations to publish solo projects, and I am currently working on a YA thriller that may actually see the light of day. I also plan to write short stories and novels in the future, but one project at a time.
I have been married for 14 years (in March 2014) to a wonderful and brilliant woman, Leya Booth. She is a genius--hence the name of my company--and she also works from home, so I get to see her all day, every day, which is all I could hope for. We are proud humans owned by a couple of cats. You'll see pictures occasionally at my personal page.
Thanks!

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, a triad is a union or group of three. Throughout The Sheriff Penny Miller series, we’ve become accustomed to threes. Whether the zombies working in a group of three, to Penny’s core group of surviving three, three has always played a crucial role in this series. Yet now, as the conclusion dawns upon us, Penny soon learns the government is working in their own group of three. The government’s own triad has developed the bioweapons program, the very one coursing through Penny’s own veins and the countdown clock is on.
Each chapter winds closer to the thirty-six-hour countdown as stage three has been initiated. And, while we don’t exactly know what that means for the fate of the world, we know it all hinges on Penny arriving on time to stop it. As the curtain is pulled back on the bioweapon’s ringleaders, the sixth in the series holds us in its grips as we once again face zombies, domestic terrorists, and militia head on.
Authors Steven Booth and Harry Shannon show off their fantastic partnership as they bring the series home in this epic conclusion. With land sharks and drones, military and militia, safe houses and bunkers, Penny charges back into action hoping to stop the zombie virus from spreading once and for all. Will they survive this final assault? Will Penny emerge successful, or will they be too late?
“The Rule of Three” brings action, deception, danger, and the potential for a real apocalypse as The Sheriff Penny Miller series comes to a close. Take a final bow as Booth and Shannon give us a peek behind the government’s curtain, closing the final chapter on Penny and her ragtag team of heroes.

is this the last? Hell of reading ride it has been!
This has been an interesting reading adventure from the first book to here! Not sure if this is definitely the last book but if this was it has been worth the cost of time and money to read. As the saying goes ‘No regerts!’ for reading. To be clear if you have read the first 5 books WHY would you stop before reading this one. This is right in line with the other books does leave some open questions at the end so could be another book or not ( i.e. what happened to Shepherd and his mind to create super soldiers)? Major plots in this book are wrapped up and the plague appears to be ended!?

Best of the series so far
The Hungry 6 was the best of this series so far except for the ending was a little loose. It's not exactly cliffhanger but there's sure some loose endings that could have been tied up more cleanly.
I contacted the authors on Twitter to see if there was going to be a book 7 and Steven Booth got right back to me and said that he and Harry (Shannon) had just been discussing that very subject and no promises at this point.
Even if the series ends with this book, the six book series was fun to read. I enjoyed the main protagonists - Sheriff Penny and her biker lover, Scratch. There were also many interesting side characters I got to read about on The Hungry journey.
In this (maybe) final book, they decide to go after the head honchos known as The Triad of the Enhanced Bioweapons Select Committee,
that had the virus produced to begin with as a weapon.
Their travels take them from Nevada to Idaho and bloody, gutty points in between. This was the longest book of the series at 345 pages and there's action on almost every page.
Well, if my vote counts for anything, I hope there is a book 7.

Set up for another book.
I just finished The Hungry Six and have very mixed thoughts. While many nagging questions were answered, and the action was both plentiful and exciting, I fear the author has either ended an otherwise solid series with a dull misfire, or he has written himself into a corner. If there is a seventh book, it will have to deal with boring human crap like Congressional hearings and dark political plotting and betrayals -possibly interesting, but not how series like this should conclude. I give this sixth and possibly final book a solid three stars.
