The Fire Giants have come to destroy them all. Can Wylie and the others survive the coming battle and bring Ragnarok to an end before all that they fought for is lost? Everything that Wylie has faced since the dead began to rise has brought him to this. Now he must face the wrath of the architect of Ragnarok; the God of Mischief, himself. Loki the Trickster. Mankind’s final chapter will be written in blood of heroes. Desolation awaits. The Twilight of the Gods is here. RAGNAROK is NOW.

A truly outstanding end to the tale.
I devoured this series. As a Pagan myself, I appreciated the treatment of belief. As a reader, I am deeply impressed by the characters. I was also pleased by the accuracy of the military references, and the fact that the author found sex itself unnecessary. Truly well done.

A fitting end
The series was truly all that, a bag of chips and twelve Snapples to go. What a ride and rush it has been. The only disappointment was that as all good things, it sadly has come to an end. A gripping and entertaining read, enjoy it. I sure did!

A saga worth remembering....
So here I am at the end of the 10th book. If you called my last review at the end of the first book you'll note that I had no idea how the Norse mythology was playing a part in this. I am happy to report that I was pleasantly surprised and completely overwhelmed by the breadth and depth of the plot development in the way that the author intertwined both zombie apocalypse aspects and the North mythology. It's an unbelievable achievement. It rivals the Omega day series by John Campbell. I'm happy that I stuck in there and I'm sad to see it end. Bravo

Great ending
Usually you don’t want a story to end when you become one with the characters -when you love,cry,scream, hate you know it’s a great story but this tale was woven so well the truly unbelievable became possible because the good guy threw everything he believed in into everything he did and at the end he lived in the hearts and minds of his kindred excellence is when the story is over and you are satisfied with the results

Excellent Series!!!
This series was definitely a surprise. I had read most of the other supernatural creature books by this author and came across the character of Wylie Grant in the latest Lakeview Man story. After realizing he had his own book series, I read this saga and it is awesome. At first I thought it was The Walking Dead 2.0 but it turned into so much more! Epic! I would definitely recommend this as a 'binge' read of all ten books.

I’ve never enjoyed and been disappointed in series as much as this one. I felt so sorry for Chrissy seeming to go on and face hardship, pain and time alone. I wish Wylie would have been single and he and Chrissy could have had a child to carry on their legacy. The story would have been much better without Karen, who added nothing to the story besides holding a better story back.

Absolutely top ten of all time Sagas!
On par with Steven King's "The Stand" or The Legend of King Author. A page turner that holds your attention and keeps you enthralled at Wylie's next overwhelming challenge. The Norse God's involvement in Wylie's religion and beliefs keep you entertained throughout. Lengthy but well worth the time.

Best series much more than zombies
I enjoyed this entire series. It is so much more than zombies. The characters are so well developed, and I mourned for each loss. The plot twists are fantastic, and I love how each book surges forward into the future of our world after its falling. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Book 10 Ragnarok
The only saving grace is this book that got it a five star rating was the epilogue otherwise I would’ve given it a three or two for the repetitive nature. I will say that any human would wish to strive to be as heroic in the end.

Fitting End
Well written. The story comes to its conclusion but, there is enough story left to be told of the survivors and the land they now dwell in "The Wastelands of Ragnerok!"

Awesome Series
This series was a fantastic, mesmerizing, addictive read.
It should be made into a TV series. It would capture viewing audiences around the world like Walking Dead.
