To say this series is addictive is an understatement. Tommy’s passion lies in what he will eat next (likely a PopTart) but within him resides a power to see the future. They just happened upon him during a rescue and quickly realize it is fate that brought them together. Tommy worked with Talbot’s son at the local Walmart. Tommy is another endearing character you can’t help but love. One moment I’m laughing, the next I’m terrified at the fate that befalls this family. Without his character, I feel this novel would be severely lacking. He adds a level of hilarity, paired with compassion and a deep love for his family and friends. I mentioned that he’s a former marine, but he’s also a severe germaphobe. Michael Talbot is, by far, one of my favorite protagonists ever. It doesn’t get any scarier than that, right? Add to that a cast of characters so genuine and believable, so much so that you want to know them in “real-life” and you have the recipe for a truly stellar series. Tufo creates a wholly terrifying world in which a simple flu virus wipes out the population. However, this book (the first in a long, successful series) is likely to be my favorite zombie series every.

Reading the summary and this sounds like the most ridiculous book ever.

Why is she obsessed with the Talbots? Is she there to help, or to hinder, their survival? One such threat is a female zombie who appears to be vastly more superior than the rest of the walking dead around her. Tommy isn’t as physically capable to withstand the zombies as the others in this motley group, yet the foresight he brings through the voice in his head (Ryan Seacrest), saves the group on several occasions. Tucked in the save haven of Little Turtle, their neighborhood community the Talbots, joined by Walmart greeter Tommy, prepare to face the unknown. Michael Talbot is a ex-marine and self-proclaimed survivalist. He’s been preparing for a situation like this all of his life and has an inventory of food rations and weapons at the ready.
