An impossible challenge, an unbeatable rival, and a horde of diseased killers stand between him and the girl he loves …
In the walled city of Edin, Spike's carefree childhood has always had an end date. His protection from the wasteland of death on the outside is about to change on his 18th birthday. But while only half of the cadets survive their mandatory time on national service, Spike's goal goes far beyond making it out alive. He's betting everything on being chosen as the top candidate, rising to the role of Protector, and securing a spot beside his beautiful best friend …
The only thing Matilda wants more than Spike's success is to keep her family safe. But as she shows support for the boy she loves, she wishes national service didn't force her to leave her vulnerable brother behind. Matilda understands that Edin's rules will only let her and Spike be together if he becomes the next Protector, but when a devious rival decimates his odds, she doubts both their gamble and her feelings…
To become the last cadet standing, Spike must learn to kill the diseased, control his emotions, and become the best in a sea of worthier candidates. Will Matilda and Spike achieve the impossible beyond the city walls, or will they join the growing pile of corpses on the outside?
Protectors is the first gripping book in the Beyond These Walls post-apocalyptic series. If you like breathtaking action, high-stakes love stories, and characters who risk it all for freedom, then you'll love Michael Robertson's thrilling novel.

Spine tingling! The desperation, the futility, the sense of hopelessness.. the emotions run so deep it’s heartbreaking and tearful. The strength and resilience of the protagonists is overwhelming, worthy of admiration. Once again, Robertson has put me in a trance & hi-jacked my mind, will and emotions! Another hyper-speed read. A series worth reading and highly recommended! Can’t wait for book 4!
I have reviewed each book separately as I read them but now that the first 3 books are being offered as a box set I could not resist encouraging all readers of post-apocalyptic thriller and horror to give this set a go! It is one hell of an edge of the seat thriller with very lovable characters who are desperately in love and just wishing to forge a future together against all the evil odds set against them! But they are fighters and they have a strong reason to fight back for. This thriller is not for the faint-hearted, enjoy I know I am and looking forward to Book 4 too!
I read and reviewed each of these three books as they were written and am thrilled for you, the reader, that they are now available in this box set. If you enjoy dystopian/apocalyptic tales with lots of drama and action you will love this series as much as I do. I can barely stand to wait for book 4.
Disclaimer: I received a copy of these three ebooks from the author and this is my honest and freely given opinion.
I really enjoyed this series. A departure from the classic zombie narrative. Very entertaining and plenty of action. The characters were well written and the author not afraid to bump of a few favorites. Great fun
An excellent read that describes a future society controlled by vicious politicians and slayers. They control society by keeping groups separate and ignorant of the past, present and future.
