The Trek To Elysium Chronicles by Hugh Richard Williams


This is the 2nd edition of Volume 1 of a zombie apocalyptic trilogy. It traces the adventures of four friends who attempt to escape the government, the zombie apocalypse, and the evil corporation who caused the crisis.

Barnes & Noble:




The Trek to Elysium Chronicles: Volume 2 is the second book of a three part series that follows a group of intrepid adventurers who are fleeing from The Zombie Apocalypse as well as trying to solve the mystery of what caused it.

Imagine what you would do if The Zombie Apocalypse, a long time favorite topic of authors in the Zombie genre, finally happened? Would you be prepared at all and have a chance to survive or would you be unprepared and quickly die or become a Zombie? 

This book is the first of three that I plan to write for this series. It tracks the travels of myself and 3 friends as we attempt to escape the Zombie apocalypse. Our journey begins in Southern Illinois, in a town named Carbondale. We travel across the country attempting to reach Elysium, which one of the larger safe havens in the United States. Along the way we meet new friends and attempt to dispose of new enemies. 

The apocalypse was caused by a combination of factors. One was our government allowed people with the Nova Virus to come to our country to get help. We are still the only country that allows that. Second, a corrupt (Are there any others?) mega corporation that was given a huge government contract to perfect a vaccine to cure the Nova Virus allowed the vaccines to become contaminated. Millions of people took the vaccine and I think the reader will figure out what happened as a result of the contamination. 

It is very hard to keep politics out of Zombie books, so I do not try to. I express my opinions as I see things as do the other characters in the book. Please keep in mind that this book is a work of fiction. 

All characters appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.

REVIEW for As They Rise (The Eva Series Book 1) by J.M. Wilde


Last time I checked, this book was FREE on Amazon and I would recommend it to readers.  Eva is a strong female lead in this zombie-infested book and I like her character!  Although she doesn't expect to wake up one day and the zombie apocalypse to be underway, it happens and she adapts well to being a zombie killing machine.

Blurb:

A kick-ass teenage girl, a nation swarming with zombies, and a sweet romance that grows amongst the ruins. You'll find all that and more in this exciting and action-packed, post-apocalyptic young adult novella. 

Readers have said it's had them on the edge of their seats, reading all through the night and still craving more. 

Eva was just an everyday girl, working as a waitress, hanging out with her friends, and falling in love. But her world changed overnight when a powerful virus spread throughout the country, transforming it into a wasteland of deadly disease and crazed zombies. With Australia cut off from the rest of the world and rampant with terror and chaos, Eva and her friends must do whatever they can to survive. 

Set in Australia, horror, friendship and true love collide to make this tale of survival stand out from the rest. 

The Eva Series will make you smile, scream, cry and fist-pump the air as you go on a wild and dangerous ride with Eva and her friends. And it all starts here, as they rise.

Famine (Book One of the Apocalyptics) by Monica Enderle Pierce

 
 Bartholomew Etienne Pelletier has been looking for someone for the last 1,500 years.  After enduring centuries of pain, torture and suffering on and off again at the hands of Famine, one of the Four Horsemen who could destroy the world, he has finally found his source of salvation.  A young girl named Matilde will be the next Catcher.  She will help to keep the world safe from the horsemen.  Her parents and toddler brother are killed by some of Famine's soulless cadavers she keeps as company and Bartholomew saves Matilde.  He is determined to keep her safe while he trains her and gets her ready to be what she will most certainly become.  It is too much to ask of a child what she will have to endure, so he waits and watches.

"He would protect her and ready her for war.  But he would not sacrifice a child, no matter how many souls hung in the balance."


   This was a most fascinating read.  I have never read an apocalyptic book where the story was spun quite in this direction before.  It is totally new to me and different makes it very interesting!  First of all, Famine is
one of the horsemen and she likes to eat flesh.  In fact, she really likes to flay off pieces of Bartholomew's flesh and eat it.  This is part of the torture he has endured for so very long.  Famine can also make him do what she wants when she is in close proximity.  However, with the finding of Matilde, her hold lessens upon him.  The Catcher also has a certain hold on Bartholomew since he is also bound to her spirit as well.  Famine creates cadavers and keeps them as company.  They are much like zombies that can talk and have some small amount of brains.  They are equally as difficult to kill as zombies are.  Famine has taken their souls and now they are nothing but dry, clanking bones within leathery flesh.  In a way, it's kind of nasty really.  There are some grisly parts to the book no doubt.  But it also shows the resolve that Bartholomew has created to keep himself going after so many centuries.  This certain hardness has also put him in a spot to be rather alone until he finds the girl.  Although he struggles with it, he finds his harsh exterior being crushed slowly and systematically by the orphan now under his care.  And one of the most surprising parts of the book?  Finding out why he is called the Penumbra, or almost shadow.  But I am not going to tell you that little tidbit!  You will have to read it yourself to find out more!

Facts about Bartholomew:
Has many scars. 
Has endured much pain and suffering. 
Determined.
Has a sword called a gladius.
Was a Roman soldier. 
Was married. 
Bound to Famine and the Catcher. 
Really old.  
Good looking for his age.
Not interested in long term relationships.

The Flesh Market by Richard Wright

   The Cadaver Riots began in Edinburgh in the early 1800's.  Why were they named so?  Because of the mob of cadavers that swarmed the city, tearing at and eating people wherever they found them.  Many were wounded and died from the attack.  And many more were to have nightmares about that night replay over and over in their heads for a very long time.  The poor population was what had been affected the most.  No one knew where the bodies came from or why they came back to life.  Dr. Knox is hell bent on finding the answers they need, although it is illegal to harbor a revenant (one of the undead).  He teaches medical students about the anatomy of the body and must have cadavers on hand for practicing on.  Some would say that his business was shady because he bought bodies that had passed on.  At that time in history, it was looked down on, but robbing graves was much worse than buying the bodies.  He and his few assistants begin taking in revenants and start cutting them up to find out why they are coming back to life.  The answers seem to evade them and when revenants come in that they recognize, questions are raised about the ethics of what they were doing as well as where the bodies were coming from.
   Bill and Nelly came to Edinburgh a year after the riots had happened and neither had ever seen one until they had moved here.  A friend of theirs had offered cheap lodging for them, but because things were tight, Bill and Nelly felt like they needed to "help" Maggie, the friend and owner of their current lodgings.  Maggie is willing to go to great lengths to get money, and her new (and very young) husband, William, is willing to go even further.  There is evil surrounding him that everyone seems to sense.  The selling of the revenant that came back to life in Maggie and William's lodge house to Dr. Knox is just the beginning of the slope Bill and William slip quickly down.  It doesn't take long for them to start murdering people and waiting for them to turn.  Funny thing is that they always do, and even in his almost constant drunken stupor, Bill starts to suspect that William knows how to turn them.  Bill had long suspected William of being a very dangerous man, and the further into the story you get, the more you can see why.

   Gruesome and fascinating.  A true terrors-of-the-night type of thriller.  Horror fans, this is the book for you!  Although written in a somewhat older style, to match the times no doubt, it is very in depth and many issues and thoughts come from what is really right and wrong in situations such as this.  How far would one go to find answers?  And how far would others go for money?  Bill Burke is pulled into William Hare's world of evil rather quickly.  To douse his conscience, he stays drunk most of the time.  He cannot handle what he is partaking of without it.  And unfortunately, Bill feels stuck in his position.  He knows William will come after he and Nelly.  And he has to keep Nelly safe.
   The most interesting thing about this novel is how it was based on real events.  While the Cadaver Riots (and undead in general) were a fabricated part of the story, the Burke and Hare murders were not.  It was very real.  These two men did start murdering people and selling their corpses to a Dr. Knox.  There were several victims of these two Irishmen.  If you would like to know a little about these murders check out the link below:
