Nigeria. The densely packed cities are abandoned and in ruins. Isolated villages survive behind locked doors under constant threat of a war on two fronts; a war the living cannot win.
Hidden miles into the desert is a secret weapon that, if unleashed, will bring peace—but at the risk of total annihilation. Undermanned and with scant resources, Michael Talbot's squad of misfits is ordered to retrieve classified data of the utmost imperative.

In a concealed laboratory, buried deep underground, the squad discovers a monstrous super-race that will either be humanity's greatest weapon or deliver a blood soaked end to their existence.

The mission becomes perilous and terrifying; all may not survive.

Above ground, zombies have made startling progress, and the team faces a powerful necromancer who controls an army of the dead. There is a magic here, though, that Michael never dared hope for.

Meanwhile, aboard the floating city, the USS Jimmy Carter, a malcontented faction is hatching plans of violence and insurrection. Even within Talbot's own squad there are mutinous whispers. How many lines will be crossed? What is the price of loyalty and honor? Is it the cost of survival?

Join Michael Talbot, BT, and their daredevil team on a gripping adventure to restore the world to the living!

Hard to believe it's been several years since I completed my last book in the Zombie Fallout series.

That being said, it is remarkable how easy it was to fall right back into the storyline as I began Unearthed, (#19). It felt like being reunited with old friends, and picking up where we left off as if it was yesterday.

Special thanks to Sean Runnette. His continued narration of this series has brought me countless hours joyous listening escapism. Kudos.

Up next: Shores of Despair (Zombie Fallout, #20 =).

Waiting for the next one

There is only thing that I hate about Mark's books and that is they come to an end. If you have not read this series, you should. You will find yourself horrified, terrified, laughing one moment and on the edge of your seat the next. Excellent series.

Multiverses isn’t some something new in the fallout world and I love it. Few books back I was a bit saddened on how BT and Mike went separate ways after all that time together. Now I’m hoping with all that’s unfolding maybe just maybe everyone will get their somewhat of a decent ending.

Yet again, another fantastic addition to the series. A mission to Nigeria to collect data that will help with a cure. A new addition of an enemy called Uffiti… apelike creatures.

always a good romp

While I always love a good zompoc/Talbot book, this one got a TINY tedious with the escape from the lab. I’ll leave it at that so no spoilers. Still a fun book though

Mikes arrogance at times annoys me but I appreciate how good of leader and friend he is. Hard to believe how close I am to finishing this series. Mark Tufo is an incredible author.

thoughts

Too much long winded discussion. Also, ammo is very heavy but they seem to have a lot. Basic load is just 210 rounds. I guess I am looking too close.

Same thing; different day plus a new creature.
There was one huge laugh ( with a capital L) in a gothic cemetery and many smaller ones elsewhere.
I’m just a sucker for these mindless zombie books.
