He has over 12 years of combined service with the Army and Navy in Europe, the Balkans and Southwest Asia. W.J. is an avid athlete, writer, backpacker and shooting enthusiast.

I developed the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot series from notes and ideas I had put together while deployed to Afghanistan. I had been jokingly asked how we would defend against a zombie attack.
I wanted to tell a story that portrays the military that I know, that displays our actual capabilities. These are my thoughts, I hope you enjoy them, and thank you for reading.

Slightly underwhelmed by this instalment. Relentlessly action packed and entertaining throughout, but I felt the depth was lacking this time and not one word of past back stories which includes four books. All guns blazing continuously doesn't entertain.

Bravo! This series kicks so much ass. Book 5 was fantastic and in my opinion the best one yet. I'm not going to give away any spoilers, but things get really interesting in the end. Nice twist.

Still enjoying the series. But I did get confused at a few points during the book. Not sure if it was me or the writing.

Great Series!!
Start from the beginning and you'll be hooked through the end, while still wishing there were more! Fantastic, surprising characters - "the soldier" and his little friend being favorites. Lots of heros and villains herein, in addition to the infected- great balance. I hope we do get one more book. Too many loose ends!!! FIVE STARS!

Another post-apocalyptic story. Didn’t find anything new or exciting and was not enticed to seek out anymore in the series.
There are some good scenes and writing isn’t bad.
I’m sure the readers of Divergent and Hunger games will eat this series up.
Three stars.

The only downside of this entire series is the fact that once you start reading you can't put it down. This is a must have for zombie fans and soldiers past and present.

A solid EOTW series of books.
It's flaw is the poor realisation of non-American and women characters, being on the whole under developed often clichéd.
I'm ashamed to say I at first didn't notice the this with the Arabs, but had a suspicion of it with the Canadians and winced every time a British character opened his mouth.
Perhaps the audio version make this worse as the reader sometimes couldn't find the right inflection of words and sentences when speaking non-US character's dialogue.
An e.g. The word 'mate' [as in 'hello, mate!'] is to some English people the equivalent to 'pal' in the US. He made it sound like someone had just won a game of chess.
Women characters are there for romantic interest, looking after kids or the injured, and typically say there bit then fade into the background until needed again.
With these caveats aside it's still an easy, enjoyable read.

engaging and Thrilling
Twists and turns of plot this journey from The Middle East through epic end-of-world problem solving adventure has now landed like The Mayflower on U.S. soil with a hope that could prove as a significant aid in saving the remaining world. But unknown forces battle against our core team on a rescue mission. Thrilling, war-like adventure dialogue, and they are having fun. The only thing I find lacking is some good end of the world romance. Not realistic on that front. Add some passion and sex and some people falling in love with

I never liked Zombie books but really like this series. Lundy does an excellent job describing the military tactics with enough detail to make the story real but not lose the average reader. The characters are realistic and I'll bet many are based on friends he serves with. Great plot. Great story.

Relatively early in the book, Sean refers to Brad as his guard dog. Later, Chelsea wonders why Brad follows Sean like a dog.
Yeah, that's beginning to feel about right. Little mention of the men in the desert until the literal last paragraph - but, maybe there's a chance to get them now?

WJ Lundy takes it to another level with this fast paced thriller with converging storylines. A series of novels about simple survival suddenly becomes much more serious and with higher stakes . The plot and the writing are really kicked up a notch in this volume.

The team goes on
I gotta love Brads stubbornness in getting his men home, and I think Sean has a guardian angel. Poor little Ella! I can’t wait to pick up the next book and see what happens next.

September 15, 2019This is the first military apocalyptic series that I have ever loved. I will be happy to read anything written by W J Lundy in the future. I especially loved his respect and affection for the civilians in the sandbox. Wizard!

Thrilling and explosive action packed continuation of the series, with the hope of a cure, the team struggle to protect Ellie, as they try to discover friend from foe. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

The adventures continue, what else can happen?
Fast paced, people being shot by people or being beaten by the undead. Never a dull moment as Sgt Brad and his seal buddies just can't stop and rest. Hell of a story, get #1 today.

Brad and the team are back on home soil, but life is no better. With news that a little girl, Ella, may be immune and hold the key to a cure, they go looking and have a new hope. Slightly different format, as it follows two stories, Brad's team and Ella's.

Fast paced and intense
This is another fantastic addition to this series. Just like the rest it grabs you and keeps entertained from beginning to end. The post apocalyptic hellscape the the team has to make their way through just keeps getting more and more challenging.

Great books
Now reading Book #5. I was always trying to think what the final version would be. This was another series of good books that l could not wait to get to the end.

Great continuation of story line.
The book is written well and suspenseful. The evolution of the characters is spot on. I could barely put the book down.
