It's a great review giving the full insights of the whole novel. The book seems interesting but i guess it's not my cup of tea. Congratulations on BOTD!

It is a very enjoyable review! I am not a fan of any book on the zombie apocalypse, which will appear soon. I, for one, do not believe in zombies, but many people do and plan on what they will do when it happens. Dead Reckoning sounds like an excellent book for those who love sci-fi and zombies.

In "Dead Reckoning by David K. Hall" readers are thrust into a world ravaged by a zombie apocalypse, brought about by selfish leaders and scientists who unleashed a deadly virus upon humanity. Amidst the chaos and anarchy, protagonist Ryan, along with his loved ones and crew, must navigate not only hordes of the undead but also the ruthlessness of desperate survivors driven to extreme measures for survival.

The tension is palpable as each character grapples with their newfound reality, coming to terms with the brutal choices they must make to stay alive. From the adrenaline-pumping encounters with zombies to the chilling confrontations with other survivors, the stakes are high, and every decision could mean the difference between life and death.

One of the book's strengths lies in its rich characterization and diverse cast. Readers are introduced to a range of personalities, each with their own unique perspective and backstory. The addition of new major characters adds depth and complexity to the narrative, enriching the overall storytelling. It is second book in series Nights of the Apocalypse.

THough gay topic is not my cup of tea the book seems to be a real page turner. It sounds pretty intense with that zombie apocalypse, science fiction and paranormal elements, advanced biology and viruses and that desperate need for survival. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Dead Reckoning reminds me of the Walking Dead TV series; the urge for human survival is strong. While I don't enjoy books about zombie apocalypses, I appreciate what the author has done. Thanks for the review!

Apocalypse stories always make my heart pound hard when I read them. I kind of like the genre, though, and feel they might be a glimpse of the future we're headed to. Thanks for the free copy. I can't wait to see how badly the zombies in the book extend.

I love reading horror and thriller books, and it just so happens that books about zombies are my favorite. I am glad to have received a sample from the author after reading your review. I, too, prefer when gay characters are portrayed in non-stereotypical way. Thank you for your review! It sounds like a tremendous read.

Your review is very intriguing! I sampled the episode where Icepick and Kylee fight ghouls invading their hotel room, and it was action-packed and vividly described adventure. I am intrigued to find from your review that the book offers much more than a pure zombie combat. I agree that a good motion picture would come out of this book!

Wow, your review of 'Dead Reckoning' has me intrigued! The way you describe the tension and complexity of the story really draws me in. It's refreshing to hear how the author breaks stereotypes with his portrayal of gay characters. And I'm impressed by the depth of the scientific explanations in the book. Thanks for the recommendation!

Absolutely agree with you! Dead Reckoning had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The author's attention to detail in character development and the intricacies of the post-apocalyptic world was truly impressive.

    It seems to be an extremely strange and exciting book from the survey. I have never encountered an undeniably exhilarating novel in that capacity, yet what intrigued me were the zombies and solid gay characters. Subsequent to perusing the survey, I need to peruse the initial segment as well as the as the second to encounter the spine chiller. Much thanks to you for the great survey.
