I received the 1st season for free on my Kindle and will purchase season two as a Christmas present for myself. I like the installment format used by the authors. They develop the story of a bunch of survivors in an end of the world scenerio where people (99.9%) just disappear overnight. The survivors, scared and unsure what has happened, struggle to face a world that no longer is what it used to be. Survivors range from a pregnant teen, a geeky kid, a FBI/CIA agent, a serial killer, etc... They come together in groups. They fight of the unknown creatures that have emerged all around them, as well as other survivors bent on killing anything that moves. The added twists and turns slowly lay out for the reader what has happened to the world and the possibilities that are opened for the future. Alot of unknowns keep the reader guessing as to where the story will go. The language and adult content is such that I would advise against young readers picking up the book. But in a world gone to hell such things are or would be real. If you like the Walking Dead tv series or Stephen King's The Stand you'll love this 1st season series installment.
