I was so excited when I saw this had come out. I have enjoyed this series. This one was flat and predicable.

[Mark Gannon · Rating 2 out of 5]

Not too bad.. stuck with it out of pure will power though. It didn't really catch my attention. An editor could be needed.

I was waiting for this installment for a while. Zac’s journey throughout the zombie apocalypse has been entertaining thanks to the entanglement of many characters’ affairs. However this installment was missing a much needed character development. Zach being Zach, is still full of himself but with less panache. Zach loves to attack women’ bodies when he can’t engage in a meaningful argument; he preaches being patient, but the reality is he is too judgmental. I’m used to Zach and his behavior, but thanks to the lack of an engaging storyline, his self absorbed behavior shines.
Another unfortunate notice is the lack of female leading ladies, Kelly and Riley are props for sexual tension which is hardly significant.

This installment is a departure from the scavenger driven previous books which I find refreshing as the politics and optics take center stage and influence all of the characters actions. I wish that the main characters were more engaged instead of newly emerging secondary characters.

The last 2 chapters set the pace for a new arc for most of the main characters outside the comfort of a place they called home for years.

I will miss this series. I might try for the last book, that is if Zach story continues there. I realized all the different points if storyline in the book is a set up for different stories. I stayed tune for the Zach family.

This series educated me on so many things i never cared about or thought of, presently. This last book explained the immune system in the simplest way, better than my grade school education.

Also. The realism of the character development. The duality of humans and our actions are very well articulated in this series, one moment we are loving and logical the next we can be harsh hateful and forced to be a person who takes life. Very well done in the earlier books.

Good Times Comes to a End

Tears for Zach and his family. In the worst of times Zach and his friends have weathered the storms with grit, determination and purpose. The purpose is to stay alive and rebuild the U.S. after the zombie apocalypse. Will Zach be able to live to a file old age to see his children grow up and experience life before the zombies? This series of books has twists and turns for all the characters. What's going to happen with Fred, Sammy, and the rest of the group from Tennessee? I'm sad that I'll have to wait to find out how the people survives.

This one seems to be just something to set up the next book in the series. It's a holding place. All of the elements are there. Our favorite characters return, but the emotional connection seems to be lacking. There's action, but it almost seems to be an afterthought.

It may sound like I'm disappointed and should be giving it a lower rating, but I can't because it's too well written. This is still a good book, I think maybe I was just waiting for another five star effort.

I really have enjoyed the additional characters and the trials that occur in this kind of end of the world zombie story. A really good look into how messed up we are and how some will not accept the change and others will take whatever they can.

[Veronik Durocher · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good!

Still so far so good, but I would have like to see a little bit more from side characters, nonetheless, appart from Zach's wife which is more accessory than anything, they have some good parts.

[Les Johnston · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story in an excellent series, thoroughly enjoyed every book so far and can’t wait for the next one

[Mark West · Rating 4 out of 5]

A gripping series that continues to impress

David has once again captured the true aspect of a zombie apocalypse. Looking forward to book 8. Keep it up!

[HOLLY · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great ending and I liked how the Zombies evolved at the end. Very different than I expected.

[Elizabeth Barrett]

Amazing.

David Achord does it again. Never before have I been so invested into a series. Thank you and I can not wait for the next book!

A little dryer and slower than previous entries.

[Greg · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow... really leaves you hanging and ready for the next chapter!

Good book, but felt like some of the story was missing, like it could have been 2 or 3 books with the mission stories fleshed out

[martin shuster · Rating 5 out of 5]

WOW, what a chapter in this series!!!!

David Actors has hit it out of the park with this INE. Zach and company have been through so much, can they survive what happens next?.
