Led by Mike, they stay one small step ahead of the zombies who turn out to be a bit more complicated than George Romero envisioned. Zombie Fallout (book 1) sets the stage and is a better starting point.Told in diary format primarily from the point of view of Mike Talbot, a tough and crude ex-Marine and self-proclaimed survivalist, the series follows a small group of family and friends (and the amazingly flatulent bulldog Henry) who are doing their best to survive a zombie apocalypse caused by a tainted swine flu vaccine. It makes perfect sense then, but is a different story and style from the rest of the books. I recommend that you read the prequel Dr. If you read the first book, and are anything like me, you'll feel compelled to read the entire series. Cumulatively, they are an epic apocalyptic tale, which reminded me of Steven King's The Stand and Robert McCammon's Swan Song.

Once I finished each book, I was so wrapped up in the story that I immediately purchased the next. Although distinct books, I am reviewing them together because that is the way that I read them. Hugh Mann (a prequel), Zombie Fallout, A Plague Upon Your Family, and The End. The Zombie Fallout Series by Mark Tufo thus far consists of Dr.

you will buy the next book to find out why on earth he tacked on 60 pages of junk at the end of this one). But really, the last 1/5 of the book was just a let-down with more of the same old, same old and no forward moving points.I already have the next book in the series, but that is the last one of these I'll be reading, regardless of how the author drops the ball at the end of the book as his ploy to get you to keep buying (i.e. it is tacked on at the end, has no point or resolution and seems to be there to add some pages to this story, and, perhaps, because the author needs these characters 'in place' for book 4? No idea. Or with character development: we've already seen tons of pages about Mike, so why do we need this unrelated flashback?I also don't know why we're subjected to an unrelated thread where we start following Paul's journey. The only purpose I can see for this epilogue is so the author can use a short story he wrote about the same characters - because it certainly has nothing to do with these zombie books. And to top it off, the epilogue goes back into the past where we have to hear about Talbot using drugs (I thought he was a marine? drug use doesn't really fit that, does it?). It felt like the story should have ended after the battle at Camp Custer since that was the climax of the story, but then it goes on and on and on with dozens more scenes that had no real purpose (i.e.

And a bit less complaining about women, so that is another plus. There is less rectal humor in this one, so that is a big plus.
