Book Description ~
Cale was sent to Iraq with the usual thoughts any Soldier going to war might have; being lonely away from his family, not wanting to take another human's life, and above all, the fear of never returning home. Although well trained, nothing could have prepared him for the horror he was about to face.
Cale never thought the thing that could keep him from ever seeing his wife and daughter again would be a zombie apocalypse. As he and a handful of fellow Soldiers escape their base after a massive zombie attack, becoming deserters in order to survive, he begins the long and unexpected journey home through the harsh terrain of the desert; a barren landscape now swarming with not only undead cannibals, but also the enemy he was originally sent to fight.
The newly formed group plans to travel west, find a boat and maybe, with a bit of luck, make it back to America. Cale is tested beyond his imagination and brought to the brink of insanity as he loses friends while fighting the flesh eating masses. He risks his life for weeks, focused on holding his wife and daughter in his arms again. It seems all hope is lost when he finds himself alone and adrift at sea ... but is hope really lost?
--------------------------
Harsh critics can surely find what ever flaws they like (say, like the one guy on Amazon did), but this is a zombie story so everything works for me. Never reading fiction with too tight an analytical eye, I really didn't question anything as I read...coz, ya know...it's a book about zombies!!! My view is anything can happen in a post-Apocalyptical world. Don't judge probabilities, again...zombies!!!
For a soldier serving our country I appreciate his service. I recommend this book to all my readers who dig a good and different point of view zombie story.
Well done Mikhail! Can't wait for the second book.

Sounds like a cool read to me! I don't read with a critical eye either.
At first I was wondering if this was similar to World War Z...it's not, is it? Still sounds good...love an apocalyptic zombie romp! :)
Thanks for the tip Chuck! I will certainly check it out. If a person tells a good story, I don't really notice or care about grammar errors and the like. I'll leave that for the elitists.
Yes, that book looks interesting!
Alex: The one guy on Amazon was questioning things like hot water still running and power going on and off...real nitpicking stuff that I never even began to think of because of the action.
Johanna: No it isn't (as far as I can tell since my wife saw the movie without me!!) It is a good zombie read.
Pat: I really didn't notice any grammatical issues but the guy who reviewed negative on Amazon was griping about continuity issues I didn't even think of. It's a good book.
Leovi: If you like post-apocalyptic it's for you.
