The Old Man and the End of the World: Book Three: Anarchy is Loosed

Rate this book
"THIS BOOK WAS AN ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS READ! BEST OF THE THREE!" -Advance reader review.

Book Three in The Old Man and the End of the World series. The old man and his family face a massive zombie attack. Kenji Murata mounts a dangerous rescue mission while Samurai Girl Mitsuyo and her boyfriend Katsuo place the entire enclave in deadly jeopardy. Siberian ex-firefighter Boris Golovatyj finds his river caravan decimated and splintering. Egyptian ex-cop Omar Saddaq must escape a sea of Infected. A new character, former prison guard Sid Pitts, recalls his terrible months as the pandemic ripped through a maximum-security penitentiary.

And Khan the tiger is back, with blood in his eye!

Another advance "I just love this series! Your stories give the zombie genre new life. You create these complex and fascinating characters that keep the reader wanting more! I really liked the ingenious way you had the characters find and worked their way out of situations. Most of all I like the no nonsense way the old man deals with trouble. Us or them and they will lose every time. I cannot wait for book 4!"

And "I loved the development of characters we came to know in the first two books, as well as the introduction of additional characters and how they manage to survive. This is the best zombie series you've never heard of!"

Excellent series. Love all the viewpoints from groups all over the world VS a story about a core group of people, who are up against zombies and the obligatory bad guys

Great book

This is such a fun, action filled series. All three books are very well written with tons of adventures. There are a lot of characters with interesting stories to tell. Harrison did a great job describing the characters and making them realistic. I can't wait for book 4. I hope we see more of my favorite character, Khan.

Don't usually like books that hop around

Don't usually like books that hop around, but this one kept me interested. This series could easily keep going and going. There are so many storylines with interesting characters. I think the ending left me hanging. I want to know what happened next.

Stories from the zompocolipse

Like the stories and characters, kind of like a vignettes compiled. Is a bit hard for all the side bar stories but understand they have their part. Can't wait for the next one.

Fantastic

This is book 3 in the series and I can't wait for book 4. The action is fast and furious and the characters are written so well that you end up caring for them. If you're into apocalyptic series then grab these 3 books you won't be disappointed.

Worth the wait

Wow! I had a hard time putting this one down. A great read and I enjoyed meeting up with these characters again. I only wish the author could write more quickly. Waiting for the next book won't be easy.

Hoping for a 4th book

Read all 3 books in this series in a week. Interesting characters, great story lines for each branch off from the main character. Couldn’t put these books down and am looking forward to a 4th book. Great author and his art is fabulous.

Love the different storylines in different countries . . .

Definitely a cut above the classic zombie novel and I'm very much looking forward to the next one. I highly recommend the series.

Ugh. Why did it end

Don't you love it when a great book ends without an "ending"... I'm patiently awaiting the next installment. So many stories wrapped into one book and I feel like none of them are actually done.

Great Read

I was pleasantly surprised by the depth and breadth of tail told. Harrison did an exquisite job of character development while keeping the story moving onward.

please find an editor

Too many grammatical errors, misspellings and missing punctuation. Also not a fan of switching locations and characters in the middle of a chapter.
