The Never Dead: A Post Apocalyptic Zombie Thriller (Zombie D.O.A. Book 17) Kindle Edition

4.8 out of 5 stars 3 ratings

"The continuing adventures of the Collins clan in the latest thrilling installment of the Zombie D.O.A. series."

Decades after the initial zombie outbreak, mankind is on its knees, clinging desperately to a last bastion in California while the zombie hordes rule the land and a new threat, quick Z’s, has emerged.

While the Pendragon Corporation, depleted of supplies and torn by internal strife, struggles to cope with this renewed onslaught, Lt. Charlie Collins is in trouble again. Hauled before a disciplinary committee for his latest breach of military discipline, Charlie's punishment is not quite what he expected. Little does he know that it is a virtual death sentence, placing him directly in the path of a deadly force, rising just a hundred miles to the east, a force led by the most terrifying adversary he's ever faced.

Join Charlie Collins on a thrill a minute, post apocalyptic adventure in Book 17 of the Zombie D.O.A. series.

An Interview With The Author

Q - What makes the Zombie D.O.A series so special?

A - A number of things. When I started writing this series, I set out to create the kind of books I enjoy reading. I love post-apocalyptic fiction like Stephen King's "The Stand" and Robert McCammon's "Swan Song" and, of course, "The Walking Dead," so I wanted to create something on the massive scale of those horror classics. However, I wanted the story to work on a smaller scale too, really getting into the hearts and minds of the characters.

Judging by the feedback from readers, the series works on both those levels. Yes, it's scary zombie post apocalyptic fiction, zombie survival fiction, zombie thriller. But it's also about realistic characters who the reader can root for (or despise, as the case may be).

Overall, the Zombie D.O.A. series is fast-paced, kickass and scary. It's a real page turner with plenty of twists and turns that will keep you reading late into the night.

Q - What order should I read the books in?

A - There are 21 books in all and they should be read in the following sequence:

(NB: Each series (1 - 5) is also available as a box set. Buying that way works out about 60% cheaper)

  • Dead Meat (prequel)
  • Dead City
  • Dead On My Feet
  • The Dead Men
  • Dead On Arrival
  • Return to Dead City
  • The Dead Can't Die
  • Among The Dead
  • Dead And Buried
  • Deadly
  • Speak Of The Dead
  • Stone Dead Forever
  • Requiem For The Dead
  • The Dead Shall Rise Again
  • Dead Things
  • Kill The Dead
  • The Dead, The Damned And The Dying
  • The Never Dead
  • Dead And Dangerous
  • We, The Dead
  • Dead Ever After

Q - There are lots of zombie books out there, why should readers give these books a try?

A - Once again, I can only pass on what my loyal readers have said. I was deeply flattered to hear the series described as, "as good as The Walking Dead," "the best zombie series out there," and "impossible to put down." Other readers have commented on the breakneck pace, unique plot twists and unforgettable characters."

All in all, the series is fast paced, scary and, in parts, deeply moving. If you enjoy post apocalyptic fiction told on a massive scale, with larger than life characters and lots of unexpected plot twists, you'll enjoy this...period.

JJ Zep is a musician and author who describes himself as a vegetarian, horror-and-fantasy-fiction-loving heretic and a citizen of nowhere.

His twisted post-apocalyptic tales will frighten, enthrall and entertain you. They'll creep you out and make you laugh and maybe even get you to shed a tear or two.

You'll find heart-stopping action and gore a plenty, if that's your thing. But you'll also find humanity, heroes and heart. After all, stories (even one's about the end of the world) are ultimately about people.

    So this is book 17 of the long running Zombie D.O.A. series, and it's this book that see's the role of lead character change hands to Chris Collins son, Charlie.

    We first meet Charlie in a small town carrying out on a zombie clearing mission with his team, which they successfully complete but unfortunately Charlie does it against regulations, which in turn results in his team being reassigned, and Charlie shipped out to El Centro, an abandoned town in the middle of Z infested territory, which is manned by a bunch of cooks, clerks and bottle washers, as his Uncle Joe would have called them, which Charlie has to mold into a fighting unit.

    The story progresses nicely with the introduction of a few new characters, John Messenger and Skye being the main two, and speaking of characters, some of you may notice the absence of several key players from the previous books, however I suspect this may herald a new direction for the D.O.A. series with the youngsters taking the lead role.

    All in all a very enjoyable book, with Charlie and his new commands surviving several zombie encounters, along with an attempt to take over the camp from within, all finishing up with an ending that unveils a new and powerful enemy that will be a threat not only to Charlie and his men but possibly any and all remaining survivors.

    Always a reliable read, I borrowed the first collection with Amazon Prime, and I was not disappointed, when done I immediately borrowed the second collection, I gave it 4 Stars for typos, but other than that I enjoyed it very much, this series is different from other Zombie novels, they're a hive mentality, is the best way to describe it, I think, and there are many times when you might roll your eyes, but I like it for some reason, and will be borrowing each book as it is available, hope this helps you to decide to read sometime soon.
