Beyond the Fall #2
Dead Nation
Nearly six months have passed since Mason and his team encountered the Relentless Sons. Half a year of scouting and planning as Mason's people left the safety of Haven behind and risked lands choked with the hungry dead to gather information.
The Sons are, so far as anyone can tell, something new in the apocalypse. Like marauders, they lack the limitations of morals. Like survivors, they are disciplined and work together. Like the military, they plan everything. Thousands strong, the Sons represent a threat so grave as to make the roving swarms of zombies not much more than an afterthought.
When the green light to attack is finally given, Mason and his strike force will have to wage a different kind of war. Braving the outside world at the end of winter and ducking away from the dead incessantly hunting any warm body they can find, Mason's team will risk anything and everything to break the back of their new enemy and keep their community safe.
Even if they have to become monsters themselves in the process.

About the author
Joshua Guess
50 books363 followersJoshua Guess (who goes by Josh most of the time, but Joshua professionally because his mom insists) is originally from southern Illinois, but moved to central Kentucky at an early age.
Always a storyteller, his interest in creating began with art. He loved to draw and come up with stories about his pictures.
Then he discovered comic books and novels, and things...took a turn.
Devouring everything from superboy to Stephen King, Josh started to gain a greater interest in writing, making it a hobby during high school and achieving distinguished marks in his portfolio.
Then, life got in the way. College and the struggle to start a life of his own away from home took up most of his time. His love of telling stories took a back seat to the needs of daily life for many years, with the occasional foray into working on one project or another.
In late 2009, Josh buckled down and started work on an idea for a fantasy novel that had been stuck in his head since those halcyon days back in high school. Struggling to find a voice, Josh realized months later after many false starts that he needed to stretch his brain a little, strengthen his writing muscles. So he began another project that had been simmering in the back of his mind, a continuing serialized zombie story, told in the form of a daily blog.
Living With the Dead has given him a measure of success, but more important has imparted new skills at wordsmithing and the drive to complete. 'Bound to Silence', his debut novel, has been released and is available now, as are many collections and versions of Living With the Dead.
Once that tipping point was reached, there was no choice for him but to keep on writing. Much more of Josh's work will be released in the coming months.
I hate writing in the third person about myself. I live an average life and work a full time job. I have three cats, two dogs, two ferrets, and a wife that I'm so in love with it hurts. My goal is to some day have enough success to write full time, and to manage a level of long term financial security that I don't have to worry about money. It's my dream to make a good living doing what I love--telling stories. I hope you enjoy my work. That's why I do it.
