Ghost Run

This Ghost Run review almost didn’t happen. Or at least this soon. I have a love hate relationship with my spam filter. Yes it saves me from weeny pills but it catches important things too. In the case being emailed by a major publisher about the newest release of my favorite zombie series it was wrong.

Ghost Run takes part in a ravaged Southern U.S dominated by hordes of Undead. While on a supplies run the main character picks up a distress call. The possibility of a cure makes him abandon returning to safety. With no turning back he leads a one-man rescue mission. Success means hope for all of humanity. Failure means the eventual end for all and joining the ranks of the undead.

J.L. Bourne

This week Mike and I welcome Day By Day Armageddon Author J.L. Bourne on to the podcast. J.L. Bourne is the author of my favorite zombie book series. He has written all the books while also serving in the Navy full time.

We discuss the three previous books in the series and the newly released Ghost Run. In the series J.L. Bourne has an unnamed character journal his personal experiences in surviving a zombie apocalypse. The majority of the series is all told from his point of view. You are basically inside his mind along for the ride. You get all of the weird and crazy thoughts that run through a person’s head.

The previous book, Shattered Hourglass, was the only departure from this format. J.L. Bourne explained it in the interview that is was to move plot points forward. I am happy for the return to a solo story. In fact a large portion of the book he is completely alone. Just Kilroy surrounded by the undead on an crazy mission.

We avoid giving away any spoilers for Ghost Run but try to convey our excitement by it. If you are like me then you hate spoilers. No spoilers sweetie. The full review of Ghost Run will be coming out this Friday and there will be a giveaway.

Day by Day Armageddon: Shattered Hourglass Review

January 3, 2013June 23, 2022 James Burnette 9 Comments

FINALLY! I’ve been waiting for this book to come out for a long time. So far the Day by Day series has been my favorite Zombie/ Post Apocalyptic series. Shattered Hourglass is the third and final(?) in the series. Possibly the best as well. I realized that starting my review of the series with the third might be a bit odd so I’ll include overall impressions of the series with the major focus on Shattered Hourglass. In any case if you haven’t read any of them you can go grab them all right now and not have to wait YEARS like I had to. I basically walked around work last night like a zombie reading the book from my Kindle app trying to finish in time to review for today. I needed something positive after my ranting and cussing from yesterdays. So lets dive into the world of Day by Day Armageddon by author J.L. Bourne.
