Publisher's summary

On a hot July day on the plains of Kansas, a US Army mechanized infantry company from the First Infantry Division gets a very vague warning order, and the young troopers saddle up on their steel beasts to go try to control "civil unrest".

Police in a small town start firing on people in self defense, people who seem to have gone violently insane. A prisoner at Fort Leavenworth out on work detail sees a strange murder, and is forced to make a run for it. As the situation starts to descend into chaos, confused orders are given, old sins are forgiven in exchange for needed help, and the Bradleys and Abrams soldiers fight a desperate battle using every weapon on hand. Chaos reigns in the heartland of America, spreading ever outward.

The apocalypse written as only a veteran infantryman can, The Thin Dead Line is set as a companion series to the best-selling Irregular Scout Team One by J.F. Holmes.

Excellent

Really loved this book. The author is adept at developing characters. In only a few sentences he can create a truly believable character that you can really like, or really dislike. The main character Mark, aka Matthews, is one of my all time favorite literary characters. He appears in the very first of the book and I fell in love with him immediately.

This book is heavy on military terms and activities. I believe that military personnel or veterans would be the most likely to love it, but I am a 75 year old non military woman and I loved it - so go figure.

I love a good zombie story

This is a great zombie story. The action takes off in Chapter 1 and the story continues at full throttle until the last page.
The banter between the soldiers is absolutely realistic as are the situations they find themselves in.
The narration is excellent and added to the tale.
I recommend this book

PDG…

This is most definitely a pretty damn good ZA book with a twist on the usual. Lots of military action which I like and humor throughout. Great narration as well. Nice job Shane!

The authors ability to paint a word picture

One of the most interesting books with a plot line that makes you believe it is possible. The characters interact in a realistic way

Not my usual genre

I generally stick to historical novels but decided to give this a try. Very good storytelling. The author pays close attention to details and keeps his Reader on their toes.

In my opinion the location

Glad to see a zombie themed book from my home region makes it interesting given I know most the locations they discussed in the books makes it like your actually there with them in the book!

Great story

A very good zombie listen from the military side. On my way to Book 2. Hopefully they will be more to this series. Narrator did a jam up job.
