For The Fallen

When I grow up, I want to be Mark Tufo! This author is fantastic. He manages to once again spin a tale of terror while still managing to make me laugh out loud. His newest piece of work has earned the coveted Five-Star Fire Rating from the Bookie Monster.

Zombie Fallout 7 is the latest in Tufo’s line of great titles. Without Eliza to keep the zombies at bay, it’s an all out dog fight for the survival of Mike Talbot and company. The race against time is on for BT and Justin, still infected and in danger of turning. Once again they battle zombie and man alike. Not to mention the ever present Henry the dog stinky pooting, which is almost worse than zombies. (Having two dogs, I can tell you…there is nothing worse than puppy poots)

The zombies are getting smarter. They show signs of thinking and planning. They’ve even begun assessing situations and running away when risk outweighs reward. But the real stand out for this reader is the banter between Mike and BT. Tufo continues telling the story from the perspective of Mike’s journal entries. And Mike continues to be a highly sarcastic and sometimes self deprecating narrator.

The only problem with a Tufo book is that it ends! This reader is impatiently already waiting for book 8. If the humor doesn’t get you, then the unique story line and well thought out characters will. Much like me, I suspect you won’t be able to put it down. This latest installment is every bit exciting and captivating as the first book. A feat hard to achieve as most series fall victim to waning and regurgitated story lines. Each book in the Zombie Fallout series has been original and there has been no decline in momentum.

I listened to the audio version, narrated by Sean Runnette, and was pleased at the dry humor his voice injected into the story. The only thing I would have liked to see differently is the voice chosen for Tommy. It was just a touch too juvenile for me.

Zombie Fallout is one of the best zombie series on the market. It doesn’t hurt that Tufo is a fellow Bostonian, either. If you haven’t read them yet…well, shame on you! Get to reading! You won’t be disappointed.

WOW is all I can say. If you have read the first six you need to get this and if you have not started reading about Team Talbot and Henry the Wonder Bulldog what are you waiting for? The best series I have read to date (I read a lot trust me) funny, heartfelt, fast paced super scary, and great detail that will haunt you.

Zombie Fallout

I tell you my sphincter slammed shut a big part of the book I LOVED IT!! Fantastic read hurry and get it you will not be let down.

Another hit for Tufo. I would be sad at this point as the series is going to be ending soon. But the good news is there are spin-off books that will continue Talbot’s existence. Tufo has combined all of our favorite points of zombies and added new abilities for the ravenous horde. This is a book that almost demands a reading in one sitting, but other things get in the way (work, food and things like that!). Make sure you can dedicate a large block of time for reading. Does it seem that I am being vague in this review? I certainly am!!! Some times reviews give away too much of the story and I do not intend on doing that.
That said, his ability to blend just the right amount military know how with humor and tension is perfect. I have read a lot of post-apocalyptic/zombie stories and this is going to be my gold standard to hold future stories to. The new twists and turns on a topic that has been the written about in numerous ways, is a refreshing and engaging.
I highly recommend this series but only if you have time to be taken into a story you can devote many long blocks of time to it.
Get this series! Not just this book but all of it!

I have no idea why I referenced football… Umm, not even a sports fan per se. But I am an avid Zom-poc reader, and Tufo is one of my very favorite authors (for other greats, try M.A. Robbins, Iain Rob Wright, M.L. Banner and do many more indy authors!)

Mike Talbot, is intrepid hero in this and the accompanying series, is one of a kind. The series does not read very well out of order, unless you have the type of mind which likes to work a puzzle backwards. His family, comprised of blood relatives and the friends new and old he had gathered along his life’s journey, is full of such a genius mix of characters. Each page will keep you going – boredom does not exist in this world!

For those who want good, but wrenching, nail reading, zombie action, they will not be disappointed. Anyone btw to zom-poc fiction, Tufo is a great info to the genre. Book 7 now me away with the new layers peeled away, some questions answered, New ones generated – always the sign of a great series.

Thank you, Mr. Tufo, and keep Mike going. I can’t imagine having to live with the guy, must drive you a tad nuts on certain days when you’re trying to work and he’s bored.

I just posted 5 stars for a Zombie book, and I normally avoid Zombie books because I’m just not into them. That’s how much I enjoy Mark Tufo’s writing and story telling abilities. Here’s more. The gorefest descrptions do sometimes seem to drag on a bit too long. I am not a fan of the F word, and it gets used a lot. A LOT. I still stand by my 5 star rating even with those two points. Maybe because if there were ACTUALLY a Zombie Apocolypse, there would be a lot of blood and gore, and I, myself, would probably even begin using the F word repeatedly.

I really am surprised at how much I am enjoying this series. I have already purchased (SPENT MONEY! They weren’t free!) the entire 10 book set… and I will say it again… I don’t normally read Zombie books. I don’t even watch Zombie TV shows or movies. I am only 6 books in so far, but Mark Tufo hasn’t let Mike let me down yet. Somehow, I believe he will continue this streak.

Mr. Tufo, if you read this… Thanks for writing this series!
