Six days before his retirement from a twenty year career in the U.S. Army, Joseph Bowman receives a call at midnight instructing him to report to his troop and draw weapons. In the chaos that ensues, Joseph is forced to choose between running suicide missions at Fort Carson or trying to get home to his family in Tennessee.

Abby Bowman is painting the laundry room in her new home when she hears the news about a mysterious attack in Nashville. Wasting no time, she seeks shelter at her father-in-law’s house where her two young sons are staying the night. Not knowing if her husband is dead or alive, Abby does her best to protect her children from the madness that is sweeping the nation.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprised by How Good this Book Was!
Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2014

I don’t like zombies, don’t want to believe in them, and don’t want to think about the possibility of them becoming a reality. Okay, I'm not into zombie-type movies or novels but I do have to say that this story was interesting and very well written. The characters are awesome, the situations unique, and the tension barely eased enough for me to catch my breath. I’m glad that I accidently bought this book (didn’t know about the ‘Z’ things) and just might search out more by this author, since they seem to have excellent writing skills. Actually, this book was so good that I might consider reading it again. Who knows, maybe I’ll eventually soften up my zombie hating position.
Read this book even if you’re a zombie hater like me!

I love this book, it was full of a lot of action and kept me on the edge my seat. I have been reading a lot of books lately that seem to drone on but this one caught my interest from the first page and didn't let go. All the way to the last page it was exciting with a great story to back up all the action, and I even cried a few times. I will definitely look for more by this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars a good first effort

This was a good first effort by the author. I enjoyed this book and the story. I'm normally not much of a Zombie fan, but the author handles the critters very well. The major characters are credible and I have no doubt that if a disaster like the one presented in this book happens there will be people would behave just like the characters. I read this in an electronic format with no problems whatsoever. Keep up the good work!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Zombie Book with a Difference
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2014

I've read a lot of indie zombie apocalypse books on my Kindle, and they start to get pretty repetitive after a while. This one manages to be different. True, some of the negatives written about in previous reviews exist, especially the frequent grammar miscues. But looking past that I found this book to be a refreshingly different way of doing a zombie book.

What makes this book stand out from the crowd is that it's populated by a cast of characters that act like real people. The main character isn't an over-confident survivalist or super-soldier. Not all the women in the book are attractive. Not all officers in the army are incompetent. It's like real life. Some people are smart, some are not. Some are brave, some are not. Several characters are soldiers who are (gasp) pretty much like regular people. Sometimes they do stupid things, and often they don't have a great plan but are just feeling their way forward.

As for the main character's large and complicated family, they were pretty real too. Each have their personal flaws that dictate their behavior, and the author does a good job of making sure they stay true to their characters. This is truly a character-driven story about a man trying to reunite with his family as the family tries to survive.

The may-get-attacked-and-eaten-at-any-moment suspense that carries many zombie books is present in this book, too. But here it is even more effective because you know that, just like you or I, these people are not ready to deal with the situation. I hope there is a sequel, because I'll definitely read it.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Novel of a Disease That Causes Humans to Zombies
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2017

RW hard written a novel about a Weapon of Mass Destruction that has been inserted to the largest cities in the United States. The system collapses because of the wide pattern and no way to quarantine the disease. Four USA men decide to go home and home they go. The trip is not your casual drive across country. This is an excellent read for the genre.... ER

I tried. I really tried. I know first efforts are difficult as I am currently struggling with me own. However the characters here are weak and underdeveloped and even unrealistic. The story line isn't quite there. The transitions between the two story lines is choppy at times and doesn't seem to make sense. I'm hoping for further efforts from Mr Wolfe because I see great potential but it just didn't quite get there with this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring Beyond Belief
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2014

When this book showed up for me to review I could not remember reading it. I went to my Kindle and realized I had stopped reading at page 7. I don't what had pulled me away so I started over. By page 5, I wondered how I made it to page 7 before! But this time I hung in there for as long as I could. Exactly 41% of the way. I couldn't take anymore. The dialogue is not consistent for 3 army guys, especially with one a week from retirement. The character development was so flawed that I lost track of who was who.
I suggest the author put out several more books on Kindle for free, reads the reviews and learns something about writing.
BTW according to this book, Thanksgiving is a "Sacred Holiday". When did that happen?

4.0 out of 5 stars In the top 10% of zombie fiction.
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2013

Unlike much zombie fare this one takes a slower approach to to the spread of the disease which adds an element of suspense to encounters along the road. Uncertainty over the level in each community and the varied reactions of those they meet run a gamut from business as usual to full blown crazy. At times it is nearly touching in an understated way as with the undertakers delima and others were too far past believable. Steampunk nerds would never take downtown Memphis from the gangs already there. Still, the story was always interesting and imaginative even where realism was a glancing blow. I was always engaged and sympathetic to the well drawn characters. Wolfe knows how to show rather than tell and I felt I knew some of them well within a few pages of interaction.

I look forward to his next work, particularly since the closer the protagonist got to home the more intimately I knew the area. It would be interesting to see his take on a world gone past the balance of living to dead and into a more fight and flight situation with an even greater breakdown of safe harbors. Perhaps beyond Savanah toward the Smokies next time.

Page turner, couldn't put down. You get to read both sides of the story the man just trying to get home after a zombie Apocalypse hits and the family trying to survive not knowing if he will return.
