Default Re: Walking Dead Season 5

I still haven't finished up last season. The show just kinda tailed off on me.

If you guys want a good Zombie fix, pick up this book.
I've read every zombie book in the world. That one is the best, and that's saying something. There are tons of good Zombie books out there.
This guy has written a number of sequels, I only read one so far. When I get back to Zombie reading, this is where I'll start.
Really, at least download the sample. You'll skip work the next day.

Haven't read Molles. Have you read the Mira Grant Newsflesh series? I liked that one a lot.

They're fun. Less about the zombie apocalypse, and more about how society is dealing with the zombies after it recovers. Same zombies as TWD, anyone who dies will zombify... Government and society has re-established itself in controlled areas, constant testing to move from point to point... it's an interesting story. the first book is excellent...

Once I saw them, I recognized the books. I think only the first two were out when I saw them before.
I didn't read them because they're what they are. The first book was all conspiracy-theory laden and I steer away from that stuff. I just don't enjoy it.
These books did so well that I'm going to try the first one after I catch up on Molles stuff. Despite not seeming to be up my alley.
Doesn't hurt to take a look, right?
Thanks, Victor!!!

Definitely conspiracy theory heavy. If you aren't into that you may get turned off. A bit of a Resident Evil feel to the conspiracy... With evil scientists and crap.

If you want to get a feel for her writing first, the novella "browncoats" or something like that is from the same world, but occurs during the apocalypse beginning... Short and well written, no conspiracy.
