A rough, rugged, and nitty-gritty look at surviving in a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world. Electricity? Running water? Stores with stocked shelves? Functioning gas stations? Nostalgic to think about, but otherwise, it's merely dreaming of fairytales. Inspired by the incredible George A. Romero films, the hit Walking Dead television series as well as the fantastic character and story-driven Telltale Games series of the same name, along with Max Brooks' books The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z. The aspect of survival could also be said to be inspired by Gary Paulsen's Hatchet series of novels.
Hunting, fishing, realistic manipulation of firearms along with correct terminology used, the process of reloading spent casings into live cartridges, and the importance of conserving ammunition... this novel is written with realism and long-term survival in mind. Each day is a struggle; living to see tomorrow is almost an event worthy of celebration for many, but it means little if your supplies won't last. Places will come and go, people will come and go, and though mankind seems to be on the losing side in the fight against the living dead, we MUST persevere. Even if for most, it is at the cost of one's morality and humanity.
