The Gathering Dead A Zombie Apocalypse Novel eBook Stephen Knight

By lighting striking twice I mean this is the 2nd great Zombie thriller I have read in the past 8 months (since Aug 27th, 2010, Kindle 3 day). The other being: Tooth And Nail by Craig DiLouie ($4.79). But this thriller is only $0.99. What a deal! Do not even hesitate. If you even remotely like Zombie thrillers then you will love this well written Military/Zombie thriller. I enjoyed this book so much I went out and got another $0.99 thriller from Stephen Knight: City Of The Damned. I read the sample for City of the Damed (vampires and military action), loved it, and went ahead and ordered it.

You can get the gist of The Gathering Dead (love the cover blurb: The horde is ALWAYS hungry) from the other reviews. Bottom line: it is well written, will not insult your intelligence, and Stephen makes you feel like you are trapped in NYC with these special forces characters and you are literally surrounded by millions of flesh-eating zombies.

The Gathering Dead A Zombie Apocalypse Novel eBook Stephen Knight Reviews

Would give 3 1\2 stars if I could
Starts off a little slow and the non stop military jargon got annoying but thankfully that wasn't as bad after a few chapters. I enjoyed this book and the characters enough to continue with the series. The main reason this book caught my eye was that some of the zombies could retain some "muscle" memory. Scary enough that some remember how to open doors but having military zombies remember their training is terrifying. I probably would have given this 4 stars if the editing had been better.
I am not even finished with this book and I am very disappointed. Well rather annoyed, and frustrated. It was NOT properly proof read before production!! I have dyslexia so I am not too hard when there are mistakes in books, but this book has too many. The author also frustratingly feels the need to constantly mention the names of the guns/equipment the soldiers are using. Its rather annoying to read AA-11 or whatever over, and over again. Instead of simply his gun. As well as all the acronyms. When they are 7 deep do you need to use them every other page?! The book is also very slow paced. Also the Dr. in the book simply makes NO sense attitude wise. He has a very unhelpful attitude, and it makes you wonder why they are bothering with him to begin with. This book is not an easy read with how it is worded, and the sentence's starting and stopping, and the editing. I will finish it simply because I paid for it. But I don't hold any hopes it will get any better. ***Update since finishing....I will say this much for the book, the zombie's actions are very interesting. That part does keep you wanting to finish it. I will admit I order the next two books, hopefully like other authors it will get better. At least I hope so.***
Great read. Spoiler alert.

This one starts with Major Cole McDaniel. He and his special forces team have Wolf Saphire, a virologist and his daughter Dr. Regina Saphire. They are tasked with getting these two to Central Park for exfil.

Wolf Saphire thinks he has a cure for the walking dead. The walking dead who are trying to stop the uparmored HUmvee. A vehicle the walkers can't get into. A vehicle that runs them down with no damage. Avehicle McDaniel and his team are using to get to Central Park in downtown NY City where they will be ferried to Ft. Detrick, Maryland.

McDaniel's second in command is First Sergeant David Gartrell. A Gartrell McDaniel's served with in Afghanistan. Gartrell dislikes McDaniel and doesn't think he's good enough for this mission. A Gargrell who's mission oriented. The mission comes first. He doesn't care who he sacrifices for the mission. Gartrell and McDaniel's will disagree many times on this mission.

They do make it and get the team and Saphires loaded. Half on one Blackhawk and the other half on the second Blackhawk. Operational Detachment Alpha OMEN is headed by CW3 Keith and his team load into the second Blackhawk.

The choppers take off but the second is boarded by the walking dead and goes down with the crew and OMEN.

McDaniels chopper heads out but a walker falls out of a building onto the rotors and the chopper crash's. McDaniel and his team get the Saphire's into a building. The building has glass front door. Its thick glass and the walkers can't get through it.

The building has one Walker up on the twenty seventh floor. A Walker that is killed. They also find Earl, a maintenance man and his two daughters. Earl will be a big help to McDaniel's and his team.

The building still has power and a kitchen area loaded with food and water. Only problem is the walkers have surrounded the building and there is no way out.

So begins one damned fine read.

This one has McDaniels, Gartrell, the rest of the team, Regina and Wolf Saphire, Earl and his daughters, an osprey that tries to rescue them on the roof of the building during a windy rainstorm, a uparmored van they find in the basement, the walker who get into the building, The members of OMEN who are now the walking dead, men who can still use guns and grenades, a chase through the streets of New York, a Coast Guard cutter in the East River waiting for McDaniel's and his team, a Coast Guard cutter that will get them out of New York city, a Gartrell who will make it possible to get McDaniel's and his charges to that cutter, the deaths of the team with McDaniel's, a dead Wolf Saphire, a flash drive with all of his research, and Major McDaniel's doing his best to get his people out of New York City with the info Wolf Saphire provides and a McDaniel's determined to go back at get First Sgt. Dave Gartrell, a man who saved them all.

One damned fine read. Five Stars.
