Publisher's summary

During the highly improbable zombie uprising of 2013, the fearless American bulldog Riley quickly discovered that it was up to her to keep the pack safe. Together with Yorkshire terrier Ben-Ben and former archenemy Patches the cat, Riley struggles to keep the zombies at bay while helping her favorite human, Jessie, as they travel cross-country, dodging pepper paint balls and taser blasts from the evil, misogynistic Icely and his band of thugs.

Now this motley mishmash of mammals are running for their lives. The wicked Icely has picked up their scent and is now chasing them across the badlands of Colorado in hopes of seeking revenge - a painful one at that - on the dog that tried to kill him, as well as on the "bitches" who got away. Seen through the eyes of a random narrator and Riley, we have to wonder: Will Icely and his men chase them down and zap them into oblivion? Or will the zombies finally win and get the brains they desperately crave?

The animals are smarter than the humans

Jessie’s level of stupidity is so great that it’s sickening. I find myself saying so many horrible things to her aloud because I just can’t with her. She that stupid. A complete idiot. If it wasn’t for the baby, I’d leave her if I were the animals. She would’ve died so many times without the animals because she’s so clueless. I do like the animals though. Poor Ben Ben’s little dumb self screws up but he always redeems himself! Riley is awesome and Patches is cool.

Jumper, Koala and Mia

Great new installment. I was sad to see a couple new characters go!! It was nice that they met someone who was good. The use of grenades was hilarious overkill. I loved Koala’s truck driver comment! Small world.

Run Riley Run!

Ok this book definitely was not long enough ther was so much more I need to hear before it ended. This was action packed and still not a fan of the humans, those I like usually die, do something stupid or I just flat out hate them. Doesn’t seem to be much middle ground for our species. Not much else can be said without ruining the story so I’m going to start book 4 and leave you with the command.... Sit, Read, Good Human 😺

Did it again

I am so in love with the writing and narrator. It's amazing and smartly represents the point of view of the animals and how they work together to rescue their 'pack'. The excitement and suspense is expertly provided at every turn. When they are scared so are you, when they are mad, so are you. Riley is amazing and certainly reminds me a lot of Mike's character in do form

Walking Dead meets The Incredible Journey

Have you listened to any of Sean Runnette’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Runnette is fantastic as always.

Any additional comments?

This is as good if not better than Tufo's other z series. You will love this series if you are an animal lover, or a zombie lover, and if you are both you just can't miss this. Very detailed, great animal characters, and on the edge of your seat zombie action. Ever wonder what your dog or cat is really thinking when they are barking at nothing or randomly slapping you with a claw? This series gives you a pretty good idea what might be going on in their furry little heads!

Tufo wouldn’t be Tufo if he didn’t wring emotions

I have enjoyed Mark Tufo’s books immensely – he has never disappointed. I was a bit skeptical at first about “seeing” the zombie apocalypse through an American bulldogs eyes, but I should have known that Tufo does NOT disappoint (I’m sure the word is NOT in his vocabulary!).

This is part 3 in a series of novellas. Jess and Zack are humans struggling to reach Mike Talbott’s family (see Zombie Fallout Series to meet this fun and adventuresome family). Continuing her travels Jess, with the help of Riley, Patches (the cat) and BenBen (a Yorkshire Terrier pup), she has to make sure her less than 2 year old brother makes it there alive.

In this part, they break free from the evil villain, Icely, and takes one of his brides to freedom. Along the way this strange pack encounters zombies and decent folks who try to help them. No one is really prepared to battle Icely and his thugs who are hunting them down. In Icely’s mind, no one gets away especially a “bitch.”

Of course, Tufo wouldn’t be Tufo if he didn’t wring emotions out of his readers – you will laugh (and find yourself craving bacon), cheer, gasp, and cry all in sitting. He weaves his magic so that you become entrenched with his characters and his plot – there is no escaping his writing style! You will find yourself immersed in this horrifying zombie apocalypse where luck has fled and fighting alongside the pack until the end.
