Oorah! Hooah! Hooyah! It's about time the remaining military get in there and kick some major ass!
It's always enlightening to read these scenes where the Major is in up to his boot straps and he and the men with him have to figure a way out. I always learn something every time I read these books. My husband is a prior Marine and I'll ask him random (for me) questions about some gun or missile or protocol and he's all, "What are you asking that for?" "My not-a-zombie book" I tell him. Then he feels this brotherhood or affinity for these men in a book that he's never met and only heard me tell him about and he goes into more detail and once again I get a first hand view by a member of our military. Oorah to that brotherhood crossing fictional borders.
So many of these books have been about the day to day struggle to survive. This one felt completely different to me. This one felt like a book about a brother and sisterhood determined to live. Yes there were still the same challenges, but they were tackled head on by teams and in a different way. People were still lost, but their lives mattered. Their accomplishments made the differences for the rest of the team.
We see very little of our core cast of characters in this book, but I don't feel it's at all to the detriment of the book or the series itself. It almost helps to put things better into perspective.
I am a fan. I've been a fan since I picked up Voodoo Plague and hoped it was about voodoo. I truly hate zombie books. I can't stress that enough. Thank goodness this is not a zombie series! It is without question one of the most masterful series I have ever read. Ever. About anything. Dirk is an amazing author and I've been following him since he only had one release. He only gets better. I love each book more than the one before.
If you hate zombies the way I do, if The Walking Dead makes you hide, if World War Z was not your cup of tea, pick these up. You will be doing yourself a favor. Just remember, they are infected. Not zombies. If you love zombies then what the hell are you waiting for? No one can out-zombie (not zombie) the master. No. One.
If you haven't started at the beginning, go get Voodoo Plague and discover the magic of Dirk Patton. You'll be in for the literary adventure of your life.

I feel so bad
I feel so bad. I have loved every book up to this point. I am so lost in the war games that I don’t even know what’s going on. My husband is in the army and he is getting sick of me asking questions about what’s going on in the book. I am afraid I will start skimming just to get through it. And I will miss something important. And as the disclaimer says at the beginning of each and every book, he doesn’t revisit the past. So I might miss something. But I am so very lost. I feel cheated out of a book by Patton. I know he’s mentioned that he has had requests to add more military to his books but if this is the way it’s going to be I think he’s lost a reader. I’ll stick to Thomas A. Watson thank you very much
