The Apocalypse Crusade - The First Three Days

The world is suddenly thrown into chaos as a research project is sabotaged and the dead come alive to feast on the living - it seems like an old story, doesn’t it? Or perhaps you’ve heard this one: cities worldwide are overrun by a plague of man-eating monsters that seem to come out of nowhere while small bands of heroes fight for their lives!

Yes, we’ve all listened to that book.

The Apocalypse Crusade is not that book. You are not suddenly thrust into a world gone mad. Instead, you get front-row seats to how the sh-t went down. In real time you are witness to the agony and the horror…and the terrible stupidity that made it all possible.

This book puts you in the thick of the action. You are the stockbroker who throws a brick through a convenience store window and surges in with the crowd to loot what he can before it’s too late and the food runs out. And you are the 30-year-old housewife who picks up that same brick an hour later and uses it to crack open the skull of a stranger because she has two children to feed. His arms are full and hers are empty - survival is just that simple sometimes.

You are the ill-prepared family man who foolishly believes the authorities when they say the situation is contained. The line at the gas station is three miles long, wrapping around block after block and so, in a state of denial you go home and play a game of monopoly with the wife and kids as the horde of undead grows and grows all around you.

And you are the soldier on the line, sweating beneath your helmet and vest. At 10 that morning you were a cocky thing. You were going to kick ass - but that was then. Now, 12 hours later, you’ve retreated four times and you are counting your bullets and eyeing the gas mask sitting on the log next to you.

You hate the thing. You can’t see worth a damn when it’s on and you sure as hell can’t shoot straight. But to leave it off could mean becoming infected. On the other hand, you know that if you miss just one time you could be eaten alive, screaming and screaming. It happened to Davis and his cries still ring in your ears.

The mask stays on the log and the headache you’ve had for the last hour really starts to thump and your mouth tastes like ass and your vision is blurry....

What a splendid nightmare!

A very well told account of a zombie outbreak from the POV of the scientists who started it and the patients who turn in the monsters. Lots of characters you’ll love and hate and lots and lots of detailed gore! A must read!

The Apocalypse Crusade 1-3

This is a good zombie apocalypse story with a medical research start that goes into a government /military way. Worth the credit.

Great!

It was good and it was entertaining! I wish there wasnt holes in the story but overalli felt it was good!

one awesome ride!!!

This series is one of, if not the best zombie stories I have ever been introduce to!!!!!

Really interesting take

First off. Do NOT be distracted by people who wrote negative reviews based on some offensive language used by a CHARACTER. If your not offended by violence and bad language but draw the line at “hurtful words” maybe zombie stories are not for you?

Now, the story starts a bit slow for a few chapters but really starts to come into its own.
I enjoyed how the zombie virus starts, when you think you know what the zombies will be like then it changes up on you enough to be enjoyable.
Honestly I feel as reality goes this is an acceptable could happen scenario !
So always a great thing!

Great series but…

This is a great story but it drives me crazy when authors don’t get the little stuff correct. A 3-star Lt Col??? The repeated use of the term clip? No military person, not even NG, calls magazines, clips…

ITS OK

well this is the second zombie book Ive listened to. OT wasnt all that like the other one. it really had A LOT blend moments in the book. the narrator was good tho. but I. just didmt care to much of how the story went.

excellent

I have a hour and a half work commute and this series helped a lot! wonderful audio book. kept me alert and waiting to see what happens! really good zombie book!

INCREDIBLE!

This book is one of the best Zombie apocalypse stories EVER written. Although I've read quite a few, this one and maybe one or two others have gone in such great detail about the start and origins of the virus. with a cast of memorable characters this book delves not only into the actual origins of how this virus starts, but the actual thought process of the characters who are infected from the first signs until total virus control. This story keeps you on the very edge of your seat, and guessing at every turn. THIS BOOK SERIES MUST BE TRANSFORMED INTO A MOVIE SERIES !!!

A good slow burn

I love books that start out gradually and tell the story of an outbreak from the start and how it spreads. So refreshing that it's not a book where someone just looks outside and its, "ahhhhh zombies!" and little to no explanation is give to the phenomenon. The author does a good job developing each character and you really feel like you know them as a person.
