zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!

[Dooge]

Just pre-ordered Day By Day Armageddon. After the brilliant writing of JL Borne on the first book, i highly recommend it for any zombie apocalypse fan.

Some info on the upcoming book:

-It's finished.
-It begins right where the first novel left off.
-It's much longer than the first.
-It took a lot of time and research.
-Remnants of the U.S. military apparatus remain.
-There is advanced military technology to include UCAVs.
-There are more weapons.
-There are more characters.
-The probable nature/source of the anomaly may be revealed.
-There is much death and destruction.
-There are billions of undead walking worldwide.
-Many creatures have absorbed millions of mrems of radiation when nuclear weapons airburst detonated over major population centers. The creatures have been reported to have interesting side effects attributed to the unusually high doses of radiation.


Bit of background on the Author:

J.L. Bourne is an active duty military officer and currently resides in the Washington D.C. area. He has completed numerous tours of duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, logging more than sixty combat missions over Iraq, earning three Air Medal Strike/Flight awards. Despite the ongoing war efforts, he somehow finds the time to put pen to paper in order to bring to you the fall of humanity in the Day by Day Armageddon universe.

Burn the stairs and bar the windows.

So I take it the first one is a good read, Andy?

[Dooge]

yeah man, it's a brilliant read. If I ever get my copy back from whoever on the forum currently has it, i'll send it on to you if you wish.

[Ratters]

Oh man, I read the first one when it was just postings on a website. It's been well over five years I've been waiting (and many others) for the sequel. Hmmm, may have to preorder, though I really didn't believe it was going to finally come.

[Dooge]

yeah, the first chapters were absolutely fantastic... read it a bunch of times on the site then bought the book, then bought the electronic book, then got the audiobook... yeah, i do like it

[icehog3]

Sounds like my kind of book, I am going to see if they have it at Amazon...if not, I would love to take you up on borrowing your copy.

[Dooge]

oh, they definitely have it. it's worth getting, imo

I think I have my next book to read then...thanks Andy.

[Dooge]

no worries, mate! If you want another suggestion, get World War Z. Another brilliant book, written by Max Brooks

[Tripp]

After reading the first one last summer, I cannot WAIT for this! I haven't preordered it yet, plan on it before it ships.


Andy, do you know if this one is written blog-style? Or is it more like a normal novel?

[replicant_argent]

I find it funny that there can be a "Zombie Armageddon" fan group... This thing is bigger than I thought...Do they have a special section in Barnes and Noble? Is it next to the "Syrupy Teen Vampire Romance" section?


JK, Andy, I would read it for sure, sounds like a great summer on the deck with a cigar read.

OK, I gotta ask.. What is the facination with the unreal Zombies taking over the world? There is a local chick on the radio and that's all she talks about.

Just because it is inevitable.

It has to happen sooner or later...

And the fact that they're the one "unbeatable" ghoul. Every other has such an easy weakness. Ware wolves have silver bullets, vampires have stake to the heart and steal all their right socks... they hate chaos, apparently.

Zombies are the one that there is no easy way to defeat them. Each and every human that they kill, our side gets weaker and their side gets stronger. It's the battle of mankind where we really have to watch our back constantly.

Shooting them in the head is pretty easy. And fun for the whole family.
Plus you get to say "Headshot" like in Unreal Tournament.
They're really stupid, too. All a guy has to do is build a corral and lure them into the wood chipper gate.
Ya just gotta think outside the box a bit. You don't go hand to hand with braineaters, that's like trying to stick a wet noodle up a wildcat's ass. It's just gonna get you hurt and annoy the wildcat.

I look for the Broncos to run more of the Wildcat this year with Tebow.

[Dooge]

as an individual they're stupid but as a whole they act like a hive mind. Driven by the scent of blood. Headshots are all find and dandy but what about the first shot that skirts around the edge of the skull and misses the brain? I understand that this is America but what happens when you're out of ammo? What next? Hand to hand combat may come as a final option but it would be necessary.



I've really thought too much about this. :\

You're getting them confused with the Borg. Zombies are about as smart as cats.
You gotta lose this singular mentality. There's gonna be lots. Think giant flaming fireballs and large explosives and Oprah Winfrey. I'm old and I'll tire out fast, so I'm definately gonna have to rely on heros with handguns to thin the herd and get ate. Lob a grenade in there while they're eating a brain and you're gonna get 40 or 50 at a time. That's good numbers.
That's where Tim Tebow comes in. He might not last long, but he's gonna look real good. Plus he's fast. That'll buy time. And style points.
