The Thin Dead Line

By: Shane Gries

Narrated by: Talon Beeson

On a hot July day on the plains of Kansas, a US Army mechanized infantry company from the First Infantry Division gets a very vague warning order, and the young troopers saddle up on their steel beasts to go try to control "civil unrest".

Police in a small town start firing on people in self defense, people who seem to have gone violently insane. A prisoner at Fort Leavenworth out on work detail sees a strange murder, and is forced to make a run for it. As the situation starts to descend into chaos, confused orders are given, old sins are forgiven in exchange for needed help, and the Bradleys and Abrams soldiers fight a desperate battle using every weapon on hand. Chaos reigns in the heartland of America, spreading ever outward.

The apocalypse written as only a veteran infantryman can, The Thin Dead Line is set as a companion series to the best-selling Irregular Scout Team One by J.F. Holmes.

a good listen

hoping for more. i got jaded with a lot of the zombie books flioding audible and this one is. a cut above in my opinion

Book was great

It’s a amazing book and amazing reader as well enjoy it specially the overall story to the point I didn’t want to sleep so I can finish the book

In my opinion the location

Glad to see a zombie themed book from my home region makes it interesting given I know most the locations they discussed in the books makes it like your actually there with them in the book!

Excellent

Really loved this book. The author is adept at developing characters. In only a few sentences he can create a truly believable character that you can really like, or really dislike. The main character Mark, aka Matthews, is one of my all time favorite literary characters. He appears in the very first of the book and I fell in love with him immediately.

This book is heavy on military terms and activities. I believe that military personnel or veterans would be the most likely to love it, but I am a 75 year old non military woman and I loved it - so go figure.

PDG…

This is most definitely a pretty damn good ZA book with a twist on the usual. Lots of military action which I like and humor throughout. Great narration as well. Nice job Shane!
