Book 3 of 3: Apocalypse Z

See all formats and editions

From apocalypse...

An act of terrorism unleashed an unspeakable biological weapon...and hell on earth. But as the masses felled by a hideous virus rose from the dead to prey on the living, a small band of survivors defied death and its ghastly spawn—determined to outrun the world’s end and somehow begin again.

To Armageddon...

But beyond the undead-besieged shores of Europe lies something closer to damnation than salvation. Rescued from certain death at sea, a young Spanish lawyer, the beautiful woman he loves, and his brash, battle-hardened best friend—who have weathered the worst of the unnatural disaster—think they’re escaping to freedom but are delivered into a stronghold of hate. In a United States ravaged by a zombie plague and overrun by the undead, only Gulfport, Mississippi, offers sanctuary...for a price: subservience to a fascist dictator and his brutal enforcers. But their reign of terror will soon be challenged—by rebels hungry for vengeance and invaders bent on conquest.

A Fantastic End to Completed Series

Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2014

Verified Purchase

Firstly, let me state that I am glad this series is over. Nowadays, in the digital age in particular, it seems like a lot of authors write series without any actual plan. The series just keep going. There is no real end. You read each book and get to the end and think What? Where is this going? Let me step back a bit further. 25 years aago I read a lot of fantasy books. I was reading the Raymond Feist Magician "trilogy", and then after the fourth book turned up, then a fitfth, I suddenly hit the realization that there was no end. And that at some stage in my life, reading books, I would eventually be on my death bed, or dying after an accident, wondering what was going to happen in a series I was reading or watching.

Anyhow, this series is both complete in a trilogy and a great story. And it ends rather positively, for an apocalypse series.

So:
- A completed series in three books
- A post apocalypse epic
- An upbeat end

I highly recommend this series. Especially for animal lovers. Just taking another diversion, I love Stephen King's The Stand, but damn it I got so angry when they abandoned Kojak. Here we are dogs are near extinct, they found one but they abandon it to go follow some stupid dream. Anyhow this series hits a nerve with me as to the lengths I'd go for a furry friend.

OK, on the book itself, it was great. I thought mid way through that it was trying to squeeze an insane amount of story threads, and I was starting to get really worried the author would have to either drag the series on or come up with idiotic plot contrivances to finish it. The author did neither and pulled off a masterful tale that was clear and well planned and logical. I'm honestly in awe. II would buy any book from this author sight unseen

A real recovery from the second book

Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2014

Verified Purchase

So I LOVED the first book - it felt so real and 'feasible' - the horror of the situation the lawyer found himself in was just palpable and really came across in the writing.

The second book was VERY disappointing. No 'feeling' and overall just not even in the same ballpark of the first one.

This final installment has really come back towards the quality of the first book.

The scenarios are a still a bit far-fetched and the translation and accuracy of some things (especially when it comes to weaponry) still leaves quite a bit to be desired. However the overall writing and feel of this one is far superior to the second installment and most certainly worth a read.

(WARNING - SPOILERS BELOW!)

So we pick up in the middle of the ocean with Prit, the Lawyer, Lucia and Lucullus (the luckiest cat in the world!) - the storm scene makes a lot of sense and the actions and results are very believable. Makes me think Manel is actually a sailor. He knows this stuff and it comes across in the writing.
- The pickup by the tanker crew - perhaps a bit far-fetched - yet I can see it.

The oil mission also makes sense - Would they be able to get the equipment working after a few years of no servicing? Who knows, but it's a key part of the story.

The Gulfport survivors - sure, I can see that - I have lived in the south and experienced some really nutty religious folks (and some really awesome and accepting of other's beliefs folks!) - yet here is where we need to push a little into the realm of REALLY suspending your disbelief - that Reverend Greene has some sort of supernatural ability is a bit tough on the mind. Of course, the virus itself makes you do that - so not so bad I guess. That they are complete and utter racists - well I think I would hope that would not be the case - again having lived in the south I have met some inveterate racists, however they were FAR outnumbered by those who no longer hold those opinions - what people would do and put up with in an apocalyptic scenario - who can say - you would like to feel the people of the city wouldn't put up with it - Although it's key to the story -

The North Koreans being the final country almost untouched by the virus - I can almost believe that one - that they could send a major mission to the US and make it across half the country to try and take the tanker - not sure on that one. They really felt kind of like an obvious plot point that was necessary to get the story to go where it needed to. That part was over the top for sure -

The fungus overwhelming the zombies - heck - why not -

Overall - much better than the second installment - enjoyable and quick read - closed it out very nicely.

Really on the edge of 3 and four stars - giving him the benefit of the doubt here.

It didn't completely suck.

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014

There are some good parts to this, but most of it is not credible even by Zombie novel standards. This one tries to be credible but there are these glaring flaws. For example, it is physically impossible for a hurricane to exist anywhere on a transect from the Canary Islands to the Cape Verdi Islands. Yet all of a sudden a Cat 5 hurricane is there and it makes no sense. A good novelist trying to write a technically accurate book would not make that kind of mistake. There are other gaps and flaws, for example the idea that the North Korean military would be able to mount an intercontinental expedition several years after a global apocalypse when their hardware is already decrepit is not credible. Especially if they send a tank battalion (Army) to retrieve a supertanker, which will then have to sail either around Cape Horn or Cape of Good Hope with no naval personnel on board.

But the main problem is that the hero is not particularly credible. He does dumb things all the time, and never appears to learn anything. Why any of these trained military personnel would want him along on these missions is baffling. In fact, his presence led to the downfall of two relatively safe enclaves. And there are these huge plot holes on how, for instance, the donkey knew to take him to Gulfport and how they got away after it fell.

Anyway, it's an ok read, maybe it will blow you away. I came out of it going "Well, at least I don't feel like I completely wasted my time like I did when I read the last Stephen King or Tom Clancey novel that I will ever read."

A trilogy that bites

From the start it was gripping. The characters could be you which made it a better read than some of the others. A story that builds and leaves you wanting more.

Bom do começo ao fim

Reviewed in Brazil on February 29, 2016

Por ser literatura de ficção e fantasia o livro é muito bom.
Tem ação e suspense na medida certa. Teve momentos em que me pegava torcendo fortemente pelo protagonista e outros em que eu queria ajudar ou mesmo socar a cara de alguém.
Vale a pena. O segundo livro é meio monótono, mas amarra bem a história.
Apesar de ter sido escrito na onda dos zumbis o livro compensa.
Recomendo.
