Zombie Road

Convoy of Carnage

By: David A. Simpson

Narrated by: Eric A. Shelman

The people that killed the world were fiendishly clever.

After decades of planning, the contagion was unleashed, and overnight hundreds of millions died and came back as rampaging, undead monsters. The living that had been lucky enough to survive the first day of carnage, lucky enough to be in the right place, and lucky enough that some of them had the skills to survive soon found out there was much more to worry about than just zombies.

In the high desert on the outskirts of Reno, there is an old truck stop frequented by a mix of hard caliber truckers, day tourists, musicians, and travelers. They have survived the chaotic first hours of contact with the undead and now must make their way across the country to a location they believe is safe. Zombies are only the beginning of their troubles as they try to cover the thousands of miles of open road with their hastily armored 18-wheelers. Gunny, a long haul trucker doing one of the few jobs available to him as a disgraced soldier, is unwillingly saddled with the job of getting these survivors to the safe zone. With a motley crew of truck drivers, college kids, veterans, a drug dealer, and a rock star, they are racing the clock to make it before time runs out. The last text he had received from his wife before the cell towers went down told him she was trapped in a high-rise in downtown Atlanta and their son was in detention, stranded in the basement of the school he attended. Gunny just wanted to drop the hammer, steal some guns, and blast his way in to rescue them, but duty called. He had to get these people to safety first, then he could recruit the best of this crew to help him save his family. If they survived the journey.

Not so friendly roads

Zombies, truck drivers and a few sassy tagalongs. Not ordinary drivers most are former military. They modify trucks and start subtracting. Recommended

Grate twist of the Zombie uprise

Well written. I like the narrator. The twist on the Zombie uprise is great. Great research on the military lingo.

Great Story

I loved the books and I'm enjoying the audible. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

lots of fun

Love the genre. Hate cheesy cop wanna be's. This is an original fresh take on a sorely abused genre.

Worth the read. Spiniffs?

Intriguing new zombie series

You can tell that this is a new author but he is one who is worth sticking with. For a while it feels as if you are bouncing from one character to the next which gets a bit confusing but it does heighten your suspense. I like the premise for his start to the outbreak which is pretty original. I read the book a long time ago but decided I'd try it over here on audible & next thing I knew, I'm tearing through them about as fast as I can go. Definitely a zompoc series worth investigating as not only are our intrepid heroes facing hoardes of zombies but also jihadis on a mission to take our country for themselves, a large ruthless group of cannibalistic raiders, & to top it all off a cult of Anubis who have a mad scientist who has created a super soldier serum which the cult is using in their attempt to take over. The next 7 books are going to keep you on the edge of your seat
