In Hell Kindle Edition

When Paul first hears of the South American flu, he disregards it as just another health scare on par with swine or bird flu. However, when news reports show video footage of large-scale riots and unprecedented violence, he knows something is seriously wrong. As the outbreak hits home, Paul is forced to confront the realities of the world around him, as well as the fact that he wasn't as prepared as he thought.

In daydreams, he envisioned himself fighting through the chaos and horror of the zombie apocalypse to emerge unscathed among the ashes. He thought he’d be a hero who saved what was good, destroyed what was evil, and rebuilt the world into something better than it was before.

He was wrong. There are no heroes In Hell.

L. Marshall James hails from northwest rural Pennsylvania, where he ran around barefoot and played 8-bit Nintendo when he wasn't playing with tar in the middle of the road. After a subpar high school performance, he obtained an associate's degree in information technology. He then worked in the IT field for over six years before calling it quits and joining his girlfriend in Southeast Asia for a traveling foray that lasted almost two years. He returned home just in time for Thanksgiving. Surprisingly enough, his family still loved him.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunningly good. A top-shelf zombie psycho-action thriller+++
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2013

I read zombie books like others eat popcorn. Well forget the relative dross dished up by try-hards, neck-bearded preppers, watched-the-movie buffs, played-the-video-game mouth breathers, cloners and wanna-be's because In Hell cuts a swathe through its lesser competitors. The author delivers with a creative and well-written story which places Joe Ordinary in a zombie apocalypse and soars on the wings of an engagingly relatable central character AND a knock-out twisty ending.

Checklist with Big Ticks:
1. Combat action.
2. Realistic scenarios.
3. Plausible environmental description.
4. Solid balance of detail versus broad canvas.
5. Grounded perspectives - NO Ex-Special Forces Captain Marvin Rock-Jaw. (Yes!!!)
6. Gut-gripping emotion.
7. Page turning engagement.
8. Freedom from obvious grammatical boo-boos (One or two misused words only.)
9. Polished writing - firmly disciplined.
10.Killer ending. (Practically Unobtainium in a zombie book.)

A Top Ten Contender....

Buy. Read. Enjoy! :P

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Zombie Book
Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2014

In Hell follows one man through the ravages of the zombie apocalypse and his attempt to reconcile his fanatical obsession with preparing for the apocalypse with how things actually pan out.

Firstly, the writing and pacing are excellent. The main character is entertaining and strikes the right balance to feel like a real person. The dialogue in the book is believable and interesting beyond what I would expect and it enriches the story well. My only complaint would be that there is a bit too much description of how the character moves through the environment. Given that he spends parts of the book all by himself though, I can understand this to a degree. What the author does spectacularly though is create a character who is both flawed and clearly no outsized hero, but still makes him likeable and someone you can admire and root for.

The zombies are a mixture of traditional and unique, so should you be a zombie purist, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I enjoyed the tweaks to the lore that the author made, however, and they injected something fresh into the proceedings. The descent of people into zombiedom was also interesting for me.

My main objections with the book are that the ancillary characters are not quite as well drawn as the main character, though this partially due to the constraints of the first-person narrative I think. Furthermore, none of them are so badly characterized that I had trouble believing them. Beyond this, there were a few plot points that could have used some more explaining. It's never quite clear why the main character dislikes the government so much, and the final revelation about the virus felt a bit contrived for shock value, but to the author's credit he pulls it off better than many could.

Overall, if you're looking for a good zombie read, you just found one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Waste your time reading my review or do the smart thing and just buy this amazing book!

I honestly could not give you an answer if you asked me how many books about zombies I have read. This one ranks in my top 5. This book takes a fresh approach in almost every way. First (and most important) this book has an ending! Those of you who have read as many zombie books as me will know why that is such a great thing. The "zombies" are not our beloved slow moving walkers but "rage" zombies. Normally, I want traditional walkers but this was written in a way that actually made me say "yeah, that could happen". Finally, what I really liked, all of us who read zombie books wonder how we would react or what we would do (in fact, I think most of us really want it to happen) in an outbreak. This book was exactly that. What would happen to us normal zombie lovers in the apocalypse. Not an ex army special forces guy with unlimited supplies but the every day person. Lastly, (unlike this review), the author hired an editor! So you don't have any of those odd moments or jarring grammatical errors that take you out of the story. An excellent read and an amazing addition to the genre.
