The Edge of Hell

Gods of the Undead: A Post-Apocalyptic Epic

By: Peter Meredith

Narrated by: Erik Johnson

The fall of mankind begins with just one man, a man who sells his soul piece by piece. Perhaps he does it with the purest of intentions or perhaps he does it because he's a greedy, grasping, evil son of a bitch. Either way the results are the same: Hell on Earth.

Jack Dreyden, a doctoral candidate in ancient languages, begins his road to Hell when he translates an ancient scroll that was never supposed to see the light of day. At first it seems to be the usual semi-coherent mumbo-jumbo found in every Egyptian burial chamber, but when Jack is attacked by the living remains of someone who had been dead for the last 5,000 years, he is thrown into an adventure that not only threatens his life and his very soul, it also threatens the entire planet.

The art of necromancy is suddenly alive and well in New York City and there is no room in this fight for a nice boy like Jack. He finds that the only way to beat a necromancer who can command the true undead by the millions is by getting his hands bloody and his soul filthy. He can only win by getting mean. By taking everything from his enemy, including his crown and his title: King of the Dead.

Interesting

I'm a fan of Peter Meredith's books, love me some Jillybean. I didn't give this series a lot of thought mostly because of the cover art. I'm not a big fan of Apocalyptic books with a lot of gun talk and that's what I thought when I saw the cover but boy was I wrong!
On his Facebook page Peter started a book club and this was March's series. I'm glad I decided to read along. I'm not giving away the story but there are Zombies but no where near your average Zombie.
Take as chance, sit back and enjoy the ride.

very descriptive acts of violence.

If you have an active imagination this might be a book to walk away from. if you don't mind people dying horribly then it's all good. story starts off kind of slow but picks up the madness quickly.

Better than I thought

I loved the story. however I would have liked to hear an actual female voice for the female character.

Peter Meredith has done it again !

It was a great story. It held my attention from beginning to end. Can't wait until the next one comes out.

Good Story but a little slow at times

I enjoyed this book a lot but it did seem to drag on in a few places. I would call this the original version of the Apocalypse. Different from other books by Peter that I have read.
