At the center of any good zombie apocalypse novel is always a focus on the study of human nature and its response to extreme adversity. Moral dilemmas in Dead Reckoning are surely to be addressed by the main characters.Congrats on #BOTD!

"Dead Reckoning blends pulse-pounding survival thrills with insightful social commentary. Hall doesn't flinch from exploring the harsh realities of a world torn apart - the difficult choices, fragile allegiances, and loss of morality as the struggle to endure takes precedence.

The review captures the tension and chaos that arises with the outbreak of the apocalypse, and intrigues readers to know how people might surprise by showing their true colors when pushed to cathartic emergencies. The review also brings out the essence of the book. I would like to thank the author for giving out the free copy to try out. And best wishes for future projects.

Sounds like a book with very high stakes with an events of apocalyptic proportions. I like that the fictional science is trying to feel believable. I put the first book in my TBR.
