Exit Zero #2

Nuke Jersey

Rate this book
It has only been a couple of weeks since the events of Exit Zero, yet in the Garden State, life goes on as usual—except it’s with zombies. The state is still sealed off from the rest of the nation, but those trapped inside have learned to adapt and overcome. President Callahan and the Post Conflict Restoration Corp are firmly in charge at the new Cape May, New Jersey based White House.


A new mutation has emerged targeting those that have survived infection of the Skell virus without reducing them to the whole flesh eating, brain melting, stomach transforming into a brain thing. The Virus Infected Non-Necrotic Individuals(VINNI’s) appear as if they are just a more physically fit version of you or me, but they are now biologically different and for unknown reasons are highly sought after by Post Conflict Restoration Corp .


The remainder of the Sullivan brothers are trying to find their own way in this new world. The prepper Ivan and his assassin wife Marifi are on the run and Gary Ragu is taking action to head the Jersey mafia. Dr. Woody has found new allies in his efforts to right the wrongs caused by his Modified Embryonic Animal Tissue (M.E.A.T), but can he trust them?


Welcome to Nuke Jersey, the future of America and possibly the world.

A promising series

This is proving to be a fun series. It would be cool to see a comic book style rendition of this series. I can't wait to see the next book! Get to work, Neil!

The second book in the “Exit Zero” trilogy is as interesting as the first book was. It goes deeper into the political and military aspects of the zombie apocalypse. Of course there are corporate players looking to make a profit off of the mutated new zombies….because hey, this is the U.S. and corporate America always has their fingers in whatever pie is available, dangerous or not. I liked the continued character development of the “main” protagonists, getting background info is always good. I am looking forward to the final book in the trilogy….this has been a fascinating take on the zombie genre. Top book & a favorite of the year!

Much better written than the first one imo. But, once again, the numerous errors detract from the full enjoyment of the story.

It is a good book. Not a real page turner though. Like the first it had so many cliches and really moments in it. Love the whole new zombie thing though. Paints you a great picture. In one of the last chapters had me kinda hooked. Wish the rest of the book was like that. If you want to read about a different kind of zombie boom read this. Going to read the last of the series once it comes out.
