About this ebook
This story picks up exactly where book one left off. The Talbot family is evacuating their home amidst a zombie apocalypse. Mankind is on the edge of extinction as a new dominant, mindless opponent scours in search of food, which happens to be non-infected humans.
In these pages are the journal entries of Michael Talbot, his wife Tracy, their kids Nicole, Justin and Travis. With them are Brendon, Nicole's Fiancee and Tommy previously a Wal-Mart door greeter who may be more than he seems. Together they struggle against a ruthless, relentless enemy that has singled them out above all others.
The Talbots have escaped Little Turtle but to what end, on the run they find themselves encountering a far vaster evil than the one that has already beset them. As they travel across the war torn countryside they soon learn that there are more than just zombies to be fearful of, with law and order a distant memory some humans have decided to take any and all matters into their own hands. Can the Talbots come through unscathed or will they suffer the fate of so many countless millions before them. It's not just the brains versus the brain-eaters anymore. The stakes may be higher than merely life and death with eternal souls on the line.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Main character too real. I loved every minute of it
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I won this book as a Goodreads First Reads giveaway.
How does this franchise have so many fans? Seriously?
I tried to read this book, I really did. Maybe if I hadn't had to sit through the first one, it wouldn't be so bad... but 100 pages in and I am so very done.
Michael Talbot is still a chauvinistic, misogynistic twit. The writing is still horrid, and focuses on the most ridiculous stuff. I'm sorry, but I don't need to read about the main character's farting habits. In detail. Inconsistencies ranging from how long the zombie apocalypse has been going on to how people actually fall if they are running away from something. It was all very bad.
But really, the thing that finished for me was zombie vampires. Done. This is not revolutionary. This is not some big breakthrough to the genre. It is a ridiculously stupid idea.
I will most emphatically not be continuing with this book, or the series. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Continues to be a fun series. I normally don't care for first person narration, but this POV really works for this story. I think it very creative how Tufo introduces more of the back story to the apocalypse event in the prologue. I am looking forward to picking up the next part of the story with . Zombie Fallout 3: The End
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5getting better! I liked the first book alot and this one is better! Our main man, Mike Talbot is once again doing what he can to keep his family alive and together and totally doing it HIS way. There is something else to fear besides zombies, in Eliza, who is a um...zombie/vampire. I almost did not read these books because I thought that sounded pretty dumb....I am so glad I persisted because Mark Tufo is a writing God and I all I can say is READ his stuff!! He keeps me laughing in between the shivers of fear and looking over my shoulder. Ready for round 3.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5The Zombie Fallout Series by Mark Tufo thus far consists of Dr. Hugh Mann (a prequel), Zombie Fallout, A Plague Upon Your Family, and The End.... Although distinct books, I am reviewing them together because that is the way that I read them. Once I finished each book, I was so wrapped up in the story that I immediately purchased the next. Cumulatively, they are an epic apocalyptic tale, which reminded me of Steven King's The Stand and Robert McCammon's Swan Song. If you read the first book, and are anything like me, you'll feel compelled to read the entire series. I recommend that you read the prequel Dr. Hugh Mann after the third book. It makes perfect sense then, but is a different story and style from the rest of the books. Zombie Fallout (book 1) sets the stage and is a better starting point. Told in diary format primarily from the point of view of Mike Talbot, a tough and crude ex-Marine and self-proclaimed survivalist, the series follows a small group of family and friends (and the amazingly flatulent bulldog Henry) who are doing their best to survive a zombie apocalypse caused by a tainted swine flu vaccine. Led by Mike, they stay one small step ahead of the zombies who turn out to be a bit more complicated than George Romero envisioned. Mike's perspective is hysterically funny, primarily because he is a bundle of contradictions - a big tough man afraid of germs and bossed around by his wife, a survivalist who makes plans that are so half-baked that he calls them "ideas" instead of plans, and a ruthless killer who is tender, fiercely protective of his family, and takes incredible, spontaneous risks for strangers. Mike is a down to earth, farting (but never in front of his wife), and beer-drinking man. As such, the humor is sometimes a bit crude, but this makes the story ring true. Mike is also unfailingly loyal, which is endearing, as he cares for a motley collection of friends and family. His friends, particularly the enigmatic Tommy, make for an interesting supporting cast.In the second book, A Plague Upon Your Family, Mike and crew escape from Little Turtle and go on the run from Eliza and the hordes of no-longer mindless zombies. Complicating matters, Mike's son Justin has developed some strange connection with Eliza and Mike can no longer trust him. Elements of horror, paranormal, supernatural, and dark humor elevate this series beyond your typical zombie fare. These elements, along with Mike's quirky personality & fierce, protective love of his companions, make this series poignant and worth reading. Highly recommended.
