BRING ON BOOK #5 AS THIS KEEPS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER.
With Daniel Hatcher doing all he can to survive Yellowstone National Park, get a sample of the original virus back to the Doctors in the flotilla who are working tirelessly on what they hope will be a cure, there are others who like the world and where they live in the United States for that matter just as it is. They are willing to do just about anything to keep it that way. Heath Stallcup has done an amazing job with this series, my only wish is that they would be a little bit longer, not by much, maybe an additional 75 pages or so, as these books ended a little to quick for me, but again, that is just me. I realize books 1 and 2 of this series were one book and Mr. Stallcup did divide it for his readers, so it wouldn't be such a long book for one sitting. Whatever Heath Stallcup decides that doesn't take away what a great series this is and I am so ready for Book #5. Love this series and no matter what Heath Stallcup decides regarding how many pages in the final book(s), I will definitely recommend it to others.

Solid
I enjoyed the characters and the suspense never ending. I didn't always understand/or buy some of the lesser characters reactions yet overall I've relished this series and hope for more. What I didn't like was the infected weren't dead and them being called Zulus. Can't please everybody.

Good story
It's a good story, reasonably well written, that moves along well. The occasional bad grammar, mixed tenses and mispellings detract from the work, but not to the point where I would give up and put it down. I've read better, but also a hell of a lot worse. Keep writing, I'll keep reading.
