    Nearly finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill. Not a bad read. Sort of Stephen King style.

    Joe Hill is Stephen Kings son. Maybe he cheated and got his dad to write it!

    @Crazyal, I really enjoyed m8, I don't think the middle is up to the standard of the ending but I put that down to the translation, I will say though you can feel the author's progression as he got comfy with his writing style and it showed toward the end.

    its not really the same but it felt like it was in the same vein as the Izzy Spellman books by Liza Lutz which I really enjoyed -if you do try them you can read them out of order but it spoils the other books

    Thanks to casio

    Just finished the last in the Jonathan Maberry series with Tom/Benny Imura - very good if you like zombie/end of the world type stuff.

    Also recommend same author Joe Ledger series Patient Zero and follow ups.

    Hi mate, regarding the Jonathan Maberry series with Tom/Benny Imura, can you do me a favour and list the correct order the books should be read in? Having trouble finding a "list" online....

    As for the Joe Ledger series , is this the correct order?

    Patient Zero (Joe Ledger, #1)
    The Dragon Factory (Joe Ledger, #2)
    The King of Plagues (Joe Ledger, #3)
    Assassin's Code (Joe Ledger, #4)
    Extinction Machine (Joe Ledger, #5)
    Code Zero (Joe Ledger, #6)

    Rot & Ruin (September 2010)
    Dust & Decay (August 2011)
    Flesh & Bone (September 2012)
    Fire & Ash (2013) (final)
    And Joe Ledger quote is correct.

    The Joe Ledger series is set present day and starts with Patient Zero ie the first human to become infected. Ledger is recruited to become part of a Special Forces Unit and is brain and brawn type of stuff, but don't let that put you off - it's a very good read with good characters. Dragon Factory is a worthy follow up as is King of Plagues, but assassins code delves into vampires not zombies - this put me off to start with as i prefer zom books, but it was actually a good read. Patient Zero was recommended to me ages ago by some other like minded friends and i was not disappointed.

    The Rot and Ruin is set i think about 15 years in the future when the zombies out number the living. It centres on a group of kids who want to explore the outside world as oppose to the adults who want to cut themselves off and hide away - again don't let that put you off as they are a good read and as you will find out, it's not just the walking dead the group encounter.

    sounds just the type of thing im into. if you like this genre try Mark Tufo's Zombie Fallout series..

    Zombie Fallout
    Zombie Fallout 2: A Plague ...
    Zombie Fallout 3: The End
    Zombie Fallout 4: The End Has Come and Gone
    Zombie Fallout 5: Alive In A Dead World
    Zombie Fallout 6: 'Till Death do us part
    Zombie Fallout 7: For the Fallen

    I also HIGHLY recommend the following.. especially the Timothy books... some of the best reading I have ever read. VERY graphic. Told from the point of view from an individual who was fucked up in real life, gets infected by a self aware virus, becomes a zombie but cannot control his actions, essentially trapped inside his own mind while the zombie does what it does...

    Timothy (Timothy #1) - Timothy was not a good man in life and being undead did little to improve his disposition. Find out what a man trapped in his own mind will do to survive when he wakes up to find himself a zombie controlled by a self-aware virus.

    Tim2 (Timothy #2) - Timothy lived a life only a psychopathic sociopath could enjoy and understand. When he was bitten on the first day of the zombie-apocalypse he turned the tides on a single-minded virus he affectionately called Hugh. Together they terrorized a city before seemingly meeting their untimely demise. Nobody could have foreseen his resurrection. Tim's close call with death has done nothing to temper his missions in life, to live, to eat and to rule the world. Tim is back and he's an asshole.

    Two thirds through Mike Tyson's book. Sounds as though he was knee deep in coke and hookers before half his fights! Also reading 'Killing Jesus' following the last few months of Jesus' life up until his death. Pretty interesting.

    That reminds me of another book by Maberry:

    http://www.jonathanmaberry.com/deadofnightseries.cfm

    Only 2 books (2nd not released yet) and i have read the first one - it doesn't centre on 1 individual being self aware he his is a zombie, more on the survivors, but it does go into humans been trapped as zoms and the thoughts going through their minds as they chomp on their own children, husbands/wives etc Also details about how the virus was started and why he was the 'chosen one'. There was actually a scene in that book that was quite disturbing

    Tim is back and he's an asshole.
    Liking that line!
