The Walking Dead Fan Club

Greetings my shambling shuffling friends!

I have finished reading a zombie novel that digs deep into the mind of a militarily trained survivor.

Day By Day Armegeddon, by J.L. Bourne.

This book was designed to read like a survivors journal, which added a strong sense of realism to the story structure. The sound survival techniques kept the story grounded in reality, and even gave me some practical ideas in the event I must one day face the zombie apocalypse. The realism is helped by the fact that J.L. Bourne is in fact a Naval Officer, so he knew what he was talking about when he wrote it.

The book starts with the main character deciding to keep a journal as part of his new years resolution, making comments as a viral crisis begins to escalate in china, he details the spread of the infection as it begins to threaten America's cities, and quickly turns to a survival mode to ensure he survives.

After organizing with a neighbor and avoiding a few close calls, the have to flee the city before it is nuked to reduce the zombie numbers in the United States. This is where the adventure begins.

Throughout the story the numbers of survivors in his group continue to grow, and they learn new ways to deal with the dead, like using sound to heard them away from their areas, and utilizing boats for safety and living quarters.

Eventually their safe haven at the floating arena begins to sink from years of neglect by the previous now dead owner, and they are forced back onland where they must carefully find their way to a suitable safe haven.

J.L. Bourne wrote a novel that zombie purists could love, and kept with the traditional zombie rules. I found myself taking this book with me everywhere, just so I could read a few more pages whenever the opportunity presented itself.

All fans of zombie novels will do a good deed to their collection to add this title.

You can find Day by Day Armegeddon by J.L. Bourne at Amazon.com or through the authors website www.jlbourne.com.

Before I end this review, I do have a question for my readers.

In the event of a zombie apocalypse, will there be any military facilities left still defensible against the living and the undead?

You will have to read Day By Day Armegeddon to find out.

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