Publisher's summary

For a decade now, the world has known of the existence of the immuno-degenerative and epidermal decomposition virus (strain two). The world governments and several civilian agencies have, so far, managed to keep the unimaginable from happening. They achieved it by keeping the outbreaks under control and preventing a global pandemic.

But even the best control measures seem to be falling short, as outbreaks become more frequent and larger in scale. Hundred percent of those infected with ImDED2 die. The problem is they don’t stay dead. The virus hijacks their bodies, turning them into insatiable, cannibalistic eating machines. Zombies.

Ryan Maxwell, a retired soldier, and his wife Victoria, a high school science teacher, have sacrificed for years to provide a good life for their family, but even the hardest working couple can run up against hard times.

However, a spur-of-the-moment purchase of a lottery ticket is about to change their lives forever. And possibly save them all.

Will the Maxwells be able to take advantage of their newfound wealth in time to form a buffer of safety between their family and friends and the possibility of a global zombie apocalypse? Is there enough money to buy safe passage in a world...after Z?

Zombies!!!

I'm a huge fan of zombie stories. Being such, I've either read, watched or listened to literally hundreds of them over the years. I would rate this particular zombie tale as being in the top ten. Extremely entertaining!

After Z absolutely awesome

This book was fabulous!! Loved the characters, the story line was really good. Literally laughed out loud in some parts. I really happy to see a second book in the series and hope it’s as good as After Z

Not bad at all.

Note worthy performance, with great storytelling. Not sure who started the deadpool loud mouth zombie protagonist archetype.

Decent - Held my attention.

The performance was okay. (I'll admit that his voice got on my nerves by the end.) The story held my attention.
