The Enduring: Stories of Survival After the Zombie Apocalypse
The story of America’s rise from out of the apocalyptic ashes is not a grand tale of bloody combat.
It’s not a triumphant collage of soldiers and tanks charging into battle against the undead hordes.
It’s simpler than that.
It’s more heroic.
America’s rise from the horror of the Apocalypse is the stories of her survivors; the men and women who refused to submit, the stoic determination of a proud resilient people who stood fast and fought back in isolated pockets and in small bands until the undead were purged from the world.
These are the stories of America’s real heroes who won back the land from the infected, and never gave up hope.
Their stories are our stories. The tapestry of their tragedies, hardships and horror when woven together becomes the fabric of who we were… and who we have become.
Approx. 50,000 words.

Good read
This book was so different from other zombie stories. Refreshing. It's told from an entirely different angle, the survivors story of how they survived. I often give authors 4-5 stars because I understand there's a piece of them in every book they write and frankly I enjoy almost every single book I pick up to read. This book earned every one of those stars! WTG Nicholas Ryan!! Two thumbs up for originality in taking us down a different road of the apocalypse. I admire the great authors who are putting their work out there now. Nicholas Ryan. Nicholas Sansbury Smith. Bobby Adair. Shaun Whittington. Too many favorites to mention. Anything apocalypse. You ALL rock!

Individual Stories of Survival
This contains individual accounts of survival during what you might call a zombie apocalypse. There is no massive attack by armed forces, no group of operator's on a mission,. This is the story of people and their family's struggle to survive, how they survived and the horrors they went thru trying to survive. A story of their losses , and for some their return home. People that are scarred and traumatized , tho they seem callous they are not. Thus let us not forget the reporter trying to get them to open up and tell their story for future generations.

Nicholas Ryan writes FABULOUS zombie stories and when I found out his plan for The Enduring, I was extremely excited. New ideas are always a hit and he hit a home run with this one. This is a wonderfully written set of stories that I could not put down.
His idea was to interview several people who have survived the apocalypse and describe their journeys, struggles, hopes and what's happened along the way and he's done that in such vivid detail, it's like you're living it with them.
This is a FANTASTIC read for all ages and I can't wait to see what Mr Nicholas Ryan has in store for us next

I enjoyed this read. Simple and thoughtful with a nice touch of humanity considering the end of the world nature.
