Publisher's summary

The best place to be in an Apocalypse is inside a thirty ton Bradley Fighting Vehicle grinding rotting bodies to paste under your tracks or using an Abrams 120mm canister round to turn a horde of undead into a pink mist. Here’s the thing though … tracks and guns and the people who operate them wear out, even as the living corpses keep coming at you.

After a brutal summer of combat in the plains and cities of the Midwest, the First Infantry Division is conducting a fighting retreat back to the Pacific Northwest. Both the winds of Fall and the howls of the undead are echoing in their wake when they’re re-tasked to take Denver Airport. Along the way they have to safeguard thousands of civilians who are following in their armored wake, and one mistake can turn them all into a ravening horde.

For Staff Sergeant Mark Foley and his tired mechanized infantry squad, it means diving once more into the hell of combat against both raiders who will shoot you dead for a gallon of gas and infected that will send you to a special kind of living death.

The third volume of Shane Gries’ best selling, “The Line” series.

Wow this just came out and was super excited the prologue was funomenal

I’ll edit once I finish completely but wow. My last read of a different book and author was mediocre so I can compare the superb writing, story telling and narration of this book and I’m excited for the rest . One of the best prologues I ever went through. Thank you! The attention to military doctrine, discipline in face of the human aspects of a zombie apocalypse is exactly what I was looking for

Loved the series

Having read the current books 1-3, I felt like an observer on both the tragedy and triumphs of Mark and his team

Outstanding

Love this series and I don’t read a lot so I appreciate the fact it’s in audiobook. I really like the narrator he makes it feel like you’re really there. Looking forward to the next book.

Repetitive

Take a shot every time 1) "spiderwebbed veins" 2) "blue lips" 3) "red/luminescent eyes" are mentioned
