    About this ebook

    There are over a million people in the city of Waterloo. Today, most of them have died, and now they are hungry. Corporal Dan Williamson is caught in the middle of the outbreak. He is desperately trying to reach his wife who is somewhere amid the urban decay. There are other souls out there, other tales of survival among the horror. Dan will soon learn that the living may prove to be an even bigger threat than the dead.

      Amazon did me a great favor when allowing Kindle authors to offer "free" downloads of their work. This gave me an opportunity to sample books in other genres that I don't usually read...with nothing to lose. During the last year, I've become fascinated with "Zombie" stories, finishing quite a few books with more on my TBR list. I found "Life Among the Dead" to be one of the more unique books in this genre. It has a host of likeable characters and many side stories within the main story line, keeping the reader interested and anxious. Dan, an AWOL Army soldier, is the main character in this story - readers join him in a quest to find his wife and newborn child. En-route, he encounters survivors - both good and bad - some join up with him and others must be killed, soldiers from his former unit, killer zombies and a litany of obstacles that stand in his way. The author also introduces a couple of new "facts" as related to zombies: first, they are exceptionally slow in freezing weather and their bodies can be shattered with a well placed hit from a baseball bat or a rock, and second, readers learn that human brains continue to function for the first few moments after becoming an animated zombie. There is no control, but the sense of smell, taste and vision remain until the brain eventually dies from the lack of oxygen.I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to purchasing book 2 in the series. I would have given "Life Among the Dead" five stars if not for the many editing errors encountered during the read...spell check will not catch these and it would be wise to make the corrections and republish. Great job otherwise and recommended!John Podlaski, authorCherries - A Vietnam War Novel

      Pretty good zombie read, good characters, fast pacing, wide scope. A few cliche plot points, but otherwise an entertaining read.
