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

About the author
William Harrison
241 books6 followersWilliam Harrison (18 April 1534 – 24 April 1593) was an English clergyman.
Harrison entered Christ Church, Oxford and in 1560 was awarded his Bachelor's degree. Continuing his theological studies at Cambridge, Harrison took the degree of Bachelor of Divinity in 1571. In the same year he was instituted vicar of Wimbish in Essex. Harrison also held positions at another two London parishes. Near the end of his life, Harrison received an appointment as a canon at St. George's Chapel at Windsor, city wherehe was buried in 1593.
Harrison has principally been known for his "Description of England", first published in 1577 as part of "Holinshed's Chronicle". This work enumerated England's geographic, economic, social, religious and political features and represents an important source for historians interested in life in Elizabethan England. He gathered his facts from books, letters, maps, the notes of John Leland, and conversations with antiquaries and local historians like his friends John Stow and William Camden. He also used his own observation, experience and wit, and wrote in a conversational tone without pedantry, which has made the work a Harvard Classic. The result is a compendium of Elizabethan England during the youth of William Shakespeare. "No work of the time contains so vivid and picturesque a sketch," was the assessment of The Cambridge History of English and American Literature.
Harrison also wrote a number of unpublished manuscripts, including The Great English Chronologie. This work traced fortunes of the Christian church in history, stretching from creation to his own time. In the Chronologie, Harrison revealed his sympathy with the Calvinist perspective of those seeking to reform the Church of England. At the same time, Harrison also indicated his distrust of the political intentions of England's Puritans and his ultimate loyalty to England's ecclesiastical authorities.

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.
