The Walking Dead Fan Club

Greeting my shambling shuffling friends!

Once again Permuted Press has turned out a great zombie novel.

Domain of the Dead

This story only runs 185 pages so it is a fast read, but the visuals made it seem like I was watching a zombie movie in my head.

The story starts off with a girl about to commit suicide off the rooftop of the warehouse she and other survivors are trapped in, surrounded by a mass of the living dead, right before taking the plunge she notices a helicopter, the first signs of life they have seen in a long time.

Running low on food after years in the warehouse, the last of the survivors decide to make a run for the chopper, half of the group never makes it, but a sexy eastern european sniper with a hot accent helps clear a path for the rest as they rush to safety pursed by Whiskey Deltas...military speak for W.D. or walking dead.

The helicopter takes them to a research ship, where they learn of the fate of the rest of the world and the steps humanity has taken to survive and come back from the brink of extinction.

The purpose of the research ship is to try to study and find a cure or vaccine against the virus that causes the dead to walk, and just in case they accidentally mutate the virus and it goes airborn, they have to radio in to a nuclear submarine every 8 hours, missing the 8 hour deadline results in instant nuclear cremation for the entire ship and the surrounding seas.

You got to get the book to see where it goes from there.

What is different about this zombie story is that, all it takes is a scratch from a zombies hand that breaks the skin to become infected, so people have to be extra careful at all times or face becoming a Whiskey Delta...

I truly recommend you reading this book, the action is fast, and the plot and build up are great.

Domain of the dead will proudly sit on my bookshelf next to my other zombie novels, half of which comes from Permuted Press.

Thanks for reading, and until my next post, I will be shuffling along with the lost.
