I pre-ordered Zombie Patrol a day or two ago and couldn't stop reading it today. J.R. Rain is one of my favorite authors and I quickly snatch up anything he puts out. I know that when I'm getting one of his books that it's going to be a fun and exciting story.I'd like to let everyone know that this story is a bit darker than Rain's usual stories. His characters are every bit as real. They're heroic yet flawed, caring yet make mistakes. The plot flows almost effortlessly and it's easy to get caught up in Jake's life while he tries to figure out how to help his family and keep his daughter safe. I really cared about the characters and found myself at the edge of my seat with worry in more than one spot in the story. I can honestly say I haven't been this excited about a new series in a long time. I truly cannot wait for the next one. I need to know what's going to happen next!!!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Another great Rain series For someone who is not a Zombie fan, but an avid J.R. Rain fan, I decided to give this new series a try. Of course, I was not let down. This book is not like Rain's other series (Vampire for Hire, Knighthorse, etc); it is told from different characters' perspectives. It is like you are in the story, watching it unfold, feeling the emotions of each character as they are going through the same experience. Rain and Basque brilliantly put this collaborative book together, crafting a fun, kinda freaky, quick read and a great start to a new series that I look forward to following. Definitely worth checking out!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "This was a very different take on the zombie plague. I loved the idea and the background of the characters. I can't wait to see what happens in book two! I have read several zombie stories and really enjoyed this one! Good work JR and Elizabeth! Moving on to book two now!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I loved this book! Don't just read the first one, read all three! It is a wonderful concept of the virus coming from outer space. It starts out that just two are infected and goes from there. If you like "THE WALKING DEAD," you will love this trilogy!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "I read this great horror novel in one sitting. It was too scary to put down and I just had to keep turning the pages! When you finish this first book of the trilogy you will be looking for more." ―Amazon reviewer
