Stage 3: Charlie

Rate this book
What kind of man do you have to be...
To survive an apocalypse?

Finally, the much-awaited addition to the STAGE 3: Post Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller Series is coming! From horror master Ken Stark, this installment features a new adventure, with new characters, along with the old friends you've already grown to love.

WAVERLY MANOR WAS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE WENT TO DIE.
After the end, it became the last bastion of life in a dead city.

For Charlie, those walls of brick and mortar had always provided sanctuary against a world he feared, even before the dead started to rise. When other survivors showed up on Waverley's doorstep, another man might have been thrilled to know that he was not the last living soul on Earth. But not Charlie.

The monsters trying to batter down the walls were frightening enough.
The thought of the kind of men who could survive among the living dead was the stuff of nightmares.

THE ONLY THING HANK MASON EVER FEARED WAS LOSING THE FRIENDS WHO HAD BECOME HIS FAMILY. Now, with no supplies left and the dearest member of that family fighting for her life, the man he was trying to become is rapidly turning back into the man he used to be. To him, Charlie is a weakling and a coward. With a new threat rising out of the swarms, he knows it will take every ounce of strength and courage they can muster to escape the city of the dead.

SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PLACE WAS CHANGING THE LIVING DEAD THINGS.
Altering their behavior.
Improving their ability to hunt.
Either what they were witnessing was Darwinism at work, or something deadlier was coming their way.

Something so deadly... that it just might mean the end for the last of mankind.

Absolutely love this zombie series!

I recommend this series to any and all zombie-lovings readers and anyone who likes good heartfelt stories in times of adversity. Sure, the adversity comes in the form of zombies and bad people, and/or good people makes my terrible choices just to prolong their own survival, but this is a very well written story with lovable, likable characters. The sad parts bring character development well worth a read! Ken Stark is a gifted author, indeed.

Sticking Together like Glue

Another brilliantly written book. This series is my absolute favourite. I like how they’ve stuck together and become a family. I loved the whole storyline about Charlie too.

Great series

Great Zombies series. Fantastic dynamic characters. Fast moving plots. No graphic sexual content but a lot of zombie killing. I'm enjoying it very much.
