Publisher's summary

The cleansing has begun.

Since 2011, Flex, Gem, Hemp, Charlie, and their families have struggled to survive in a world gone dead. Nearly 20 years later, at the dawning of 2029, they are under siege yet again. After more than a decade of relative calm in the fortified city of Kingman, Kansas, a new onslaught of the walking dead has our heroes struggling to understand the reasons behind it. There is no time to come up with a plan. The fences appear inadequate and the Mothers and Hungerers are dead set on getting to the nourishment within....

Everyone must band together and use their skills if they are to defeat the hordes of walking dead. Join them as they give it their all...one last time.

The Mist Just Knocks Me Out

This is one of my favorite zombie series . It has unique and interesting characters and zombies. It really has a lot of originality. I found most of the characters well defined and really likable. They had plenty of interesting quirks. The zombies were created by an underground gas that escapes ever so many years—tied to earthquakes.... Some of the plot mirrors other/usual zombie tales, but within the original world that Shelman has created.

Shelman narrates his own book to mixed results. He also narrates others’ books to mixed results. I’m not a big fan of his narration. He doesn’t vary his voice enough for all of the characters. However, I wish he would write another book in this series.

Just re-read series & realized I didn't review last book

Love the series & can't say enough good thing about it. The unique take on cause & capabilities of zombies is awesome. And I forgot the subtle nods to a series Eric narrates (Zombie Road by David A Simpson). Can't recommend this series enough.

I absolutely 💯 love it!

Eric Shelman has done the impossible, he actually caused me to listen to the entire series back to back without any other story in between. His character development is top notch and the entire storyline is wonderful. I am so happy that Flex and company just might make it.

Awesome ending! <insert fist pump here>

It’s the end of the series- and I loved it! I like “happy-ish” endings like this - although, come on, you could have found the cat! Cats never get a break in the zompoc. Poor kitties.

I have no idea what the heck I’m going to read now. After finding a stellar series like this one, it’s hard to find something as good. Shelman can put himself on the same list as Tufo, Mayberry, Simpson, Bourne, Rowland, Clines, Haywood, Blackmore, Meredith and Philbrook! It’s a series I will reread in the future. Thank you for the hours of entertainment.... Shelman rules!

An ending

Flex and the group face an overwhelming force. Scattered and on the run. Trapped in what once was sanctuary for them. In the end all things must come to an end
