Publisher's Summary

The outbreak began in New York. Soon it had spread to the rest of the world. People were attacked and infected, and they died. Then they came back. Nowhere is safe from the undead.

As anarchy and civil war took grip across the globe, Britain was quarantined. The press was nationalized. Martial law, curfews, and rationing were implemented. It wasn't enough. An evacuation was planned.

Bill Wright broke his leg on the day of the outbreak. Unable to join the evacuation, he watched from his window as the streets filled with refugees, he watched as the streets emptied once more. He watched as they filled up again, this time with the undead.

He is trapped. He is alone. He is running out of food and water. He knows that to reach the safety of the enclaves, he will have to venture out into the wasteland that once was England. On that journey he will ultimately discover the horrific truth about the outbreak, a decades-old conspiracy, and his unwitting part in it.

This is the first volume of his journal.

Detailed interpretive version of a zombie out break

This story starts out a bit detail heavy but the ground work is laid out for a very compelling story. It’s not a book with emotional scenes that will make you cry but one of a very realistic scenario of one man’s journey. The story line is intriguing from this man’s perspective and builds additional possibilities of different experiences people may have. This is a great start to longer story.

Strangely compelling

At the begining of the novel, I was wondering when the real action would start but I found that I enjoyed very much the story of the loneliness, despair, hope and journey of the main character. By the end of the first book, I was walking with him on his journey and was half disappointed that it was too short. I must read the other books. The narration is exceptional and give even more depth to the narrative.
