"The Value of Jade" picks up where "Mace of the Apocalypse" left off. Mace, Jade, and company are trying to make their way to Kansas to meet up with Sara and the Overland Park community, hoping for the fresh start and what they hope is the beginning to rebuilding society. Along the way, of course, they have to fight their way through the infected just to survive.Just about everywhere they stop the infected are waiting for them to try and end their existence. One place they stop at is in Utah when one member of their group, Paul, wants to see the Mormon Tabernacle. Of course it's pointed out that they aren't there to `sightsee' but Paul insists and kind of bullies his way in to them stopping by pointing out they were there and most likely will never get the chance to see it again, besides he wants `his' family to see it as he had some relatives die in the massacre associated with the place. Mace and company agree and off they go for a horrifying event. What they see instead of a beautiful building is a building full of infected including the choir beating out ear shattering chords on the organ. What makes this even more horrible is that once religious people were turned into such demonic creatures...totally opposite of what they stood for while alive. Then while traveling through Wyoming they decide to pull over for a break only to turn down a street and encounter the street filled with children in costume just standing still watching them go by. What they end of finding when they investigate this bizarre event is a woman housing about 30 kids but she isn't just taking care of them she is also trying to turn them into psychotic cannibals.Meanwhile Sara and her group are battling their own infected. Sara knows Jade and company are on their way and she knows they represent salvation to the human race but can they survive the infected? Can they survive the newly evolved infected? Will they be able to hold out for the hope of the future? Will Mace, Jade, and company even make it to them? And can hope stay alive to all of them?If you enjoy a well written, entertaining apocalypse series, if you enjoy a good zombie series, if you enjoy a good verses evil tale then this series is for you! Ride along with Mace, Jade, Sara and company on their journey to survive under horrific circumstances. Dan Williams has created a very believable and realistic story that will leave you wanting more and hoping he can write faster. He has written characters that are real people that have you rooting that good will triumph over evil.Anita (The Kindle Book Review)
