Review: Dead Rage by Nicholas Ryan #Zombie








“You can trust Nick Ryan to write a zombie novel packed with plenty of action and a great story. He never disappoints!” 
-Literati Book Reviews. 

“When you pick up a Nick Ryan zombie novel you are guaranteed a great read!” 
-Stacie Stark Morton. 





Nicholas Ryan is an Amazon Top Ten Bestselling Horror author. 


When Steve Bannon and the crew of the fishing boat, 'Mandrake' sailed into Grey Stone harbor, they arrived into the very jaws of a zombie war. 


The zombie apocalypse has overtaken the coastal town and Bannon must fight for his own survival in a horrific world filled with unimaginable peril and betrayal... at the highest, and the most personal levels. 



'Dead Rage' is a white-knuckled ride into the frenzied terror of the zombie apocalypse, where friends become enemies and every step is a life and death struggle. 








A note from the author: 



Writing a compelling zombie novel takes a lot of work, and a lot of research. For each of my zombie ebooks I have had a great deal of help from former soldiers, but this novel about the zombie apocalypse has required some specialized research. I am very grateful to the helicopter pilots and special forces operatives who guided me through the combat encounters in the book. Their contributions added greatly to the extensive zombie warfare sequences.






REVIEW



The new master of zombie horror has done it again with another exciting read filled with suspense, gore and plenty of heart.

I can only imagine the feeling of coming back after a long trip at sea to the chaos and destruction that Steve and his men faced. The terror and confusion of the unknown, the fear for the safety of those they held dear. It was heart-breaking.

This was a fast, but well-paced read that saw the final two men fight for their lives to get out of the hell they found themselves in, only for them to be tossed into a darker more personal hell, where secrets and lies could no longer be contained.


As I read this book I found myself glancing over my shoulder every now and then. There were some really eerie moments throughout this book – moments that kept me on the edge of my seat, as the tension built and all hope dwindled. This book had a few surprises, but the biggest came at the end with a brilliant manoeuvre that would ultimately save the world, but also serve revenge on a golden platter.

REVIEW

I've said this before, and I'm going to say it again...I'm not a huge fan of zombies, but if I'm looking for a bit of flesh eating, brain chomping zombie gore, then Nicholas Ryan is the author I'll turn to. His first book was amazing, so when I got the opportunity to read more from this talented author, I jumped at the chance.

 

Ryan's stories are well developed with plenty of gut-wrenching twists and turns. The suspenseful atmosphere he creates with his plotlines is so thrilling and kept me on the edge of my seat from page one. I felt like I was a part of this story. I felt like I ran alongside the characters as they sought refuge and safety, and to my delightful horror I felt like I was right in the mix of things each time a zombie’s gnashing teeth came a little too close for comfort.

 

But the danger that threatens the characters is not only from the infected undead. Hate, disloyalty and a lack of trust are just some of the factors plaguing this group of survivors. The biggest question was will they survive each other long enough to survive the apocalypse?

 

There were quite a few disturbing moments within this story, and even more frightening than the zombies was the old man, Mitch, encountered on their way to Pentelle. He was a crazed lunatic, and that’s putting it mildly. It definitely upped the creepiness and once again added another layer to this complex story.

 

This was an exciting and enthralling read. A definite must read if you are looking for a great zombie horror that will keep you glued to the pages until the end.

Review: Ground Zero by Nicholas Ryan

Aboard a freighter bound for Baltimore harbor, an Iranian terrorist prepares to unleash an unimaginable horror upon the United States. The 'Wrath' is an undead plague - an infection that consumes its victims with a maddening rage and turns them into mindless blood-thirsty killers.


Jack Cutter is just an ordinary guy dealing with a dreadful guilt when the virus tears through his home town. Before it's too late, Cutter will have to find a way to survive, and find a reason to fight: HIS REDEMPTION. 

A novel of approx. 57,000 words.

REVIEW

Everything I know about zombies comes from the big screen and I have to say that most of the time, for me, zombie movies are down right hilarious or just plain of foolish. So it was refreshing to pick up my very first zombie novel and be enthralled from start to finish. This story was action packed, with plenty of gore and horror to go with it. It was fantastic!

The concept of how the virus came to be and how it spread, was brilliant. It really brought a strong sense of reality to this fiction, and it made the idea of the walking dead all the more believable. I loved how the story started out with separate accounts of how the virus affected individuals, only then introducing us to the MC, highlighting the terror and chaos the virus caused before getting into the main plot line. 

Jack Cutter was an unlikely hero, even he admitted it, but he was always looking to do good, to find his redemption and that sometimes put him in danger. He kind of fell into the role of savior, even when he wasn't looking to be one, and it spoke volumes about his strength and character.

This book was extremely entertaining and it kept me on the edge of my seat as Jack and Sam went in search of their Eden. There were some hair-raising moments and very close calls with gnashing zombie teeth. Ryan didn't hold back with his descriptive writing, and it was great to read a horror novel filled with blood and guts. But this book wasn't all zombies, body parts and gore. It also showed the true human spirit. And it showed that even in crisis, there are those who are willing to stand together, to fight, to survive and to help their fellow man, and then there are those willing to take what they can get, only looking out for themselves and sinking so low that they become more of a nightmare than the grotesque creatures created by the virus. 

This book was an exciting, thought-provoking read that will thrill horror fanatics. A stunning debut!
