After narrowly escaping from the undead hordes in Tucson with the president’s daughter and her small band of survivors, Secret Service Agent Carlie Simmons is finally headed to safety in New Mexico. As new information emerges on the global pandemic, she and her team of operators have to leave their secure military facility to track down the origins of the virus before more people die. Crossing the country and international waters while plagued by the growing menace of flesh-eating zombies, Carlie finds herself in a race against time on a mission that exposes a secret experiment borne from the Cold War. But the greatest danger may not come from the emerging legions of putrescent creatures as tension within her group threatens to undermine her leadership.
In Too Deep is the nailbiting sequel to Until Morning Comes and picks up immediately after the first novel.
Whew! What a wild ride! Non-stop action with great characters and dialogue. I am enjoying this series a second time around. Looking forward to the next installment.
After completing the first book in this series and writing a review, I quickly downloaded book #2 and got into it. When finished, I thought I'd wait until completing the series and then write individual reviews for the four books. Well guess what? I couldn't do it! So, I'm resorting to writing a single review that can be used across the entire series.
Through this series, JT Sawyer takes readers along on these special missions to find a cure that will rid the planet of this lethal virus. Each book has its share of zombies, gore, evil humans, mixed in with a smidgeon of hope and camaraderie. We'll see these primary characters grow strong and become fierce warriors as time moves forward in the storyline. Even the president's daughter, Aliza, transforms from a young, selfish and spoiled college student to a skilled fighter, and Jarred, the thief and smart-ass, becomes likeable. We'll see evil, ruthless people who want to rule the world and think nothing of human lives or preservation of it along with a special breed of zombies which are powerful, super human, extremely fast and vicious killers. The final book takes readers to Japan where the inhabitants suffered from Legionnaires Disease before the pandemic and zombies are much more dangerous, smarter and feral then those in the U.S.
These special teams led by Shane and Carlie are placed into extreme circumstances and must work together for the mission success above everything else. At times, team members find it difficult to continue with the plan and mission when one of their own is in trouble, and learn that sacrifices must sometime be made for the sake of the mission.
The stories are intense, plausible and real page turners. Readers will find themselves cheering for the good guys and feel the sorrow when losing a team member. This is a series that I highly recommend for zombie lovers and readers of this genre. Now that I've finished, I feel like I lost a special friend. Mr. Sawyer is a fantastic writer and I will surely look into more of his work.

Well developed characters, fast-paced storyline, interesting spin on zombies. Overall, a fantastic second book in the series! What is annoying, however, is how the infected persons are classified. Early on it's stated that they "walk the knife's edge" between alive and dead. Hence it makes sense labeling them as mutants. Whereas the more than occasional reference to them as the undead makes no sense, as they are not yet dead. It's like the phrase, "someone has one foot in the grave"....they are not yet dead.
This series featuring Carlie Simmons as the main character is simply terrific. The main characters are believable and there are some nice twists on the zombie's characteristics. I've read all of Shawn Chesser books and loved them and believe me, JT Sawyer is just as good.The military aspects and survivor skills are totally realistic. Can't wait until the next book. I'm a JT Sawyer fan!
I enjoy science fiction and zombie tales but this book and the first book in the series is excellent. The writer does not misspell any words and the story is plausible considering what lunatics are out there in our world.
