Publisher's summary

Start intercept: Sporadic reports indicate chaos and violence spreading through U.S. cities. An unknown evil is sweeping the planet. The dead are rising to claim the Earth as the new dominant species in the food chain. Intercept complete.

In your hands is the handwritten journal depicting one man's struggle for survival. Trapped in the midst of global disaster, he must make decisions; choices that ultimately mean life, or the eternal curse to walk as one of them. Enter, if you will, into the world of the undead.

Critic reviews

"There is zombie fiction and then there is crawl-out-of-the-grave-and-drag-you-to-hell zombie fiction. Day by Day Armageddon is hands down the best zombie book I have ever read. Dawn of the Dead meets 28 Days Later doesn't even come close to describing how fantastic this thriller is. It is so real, so terrifying, and so well written that I slept with not one, but two loaded Glocks under my pillow for weeks afterwards. J. L. Bourne is the new king of hardcore zombie action!" (Brad Thor, New York Times #1 best-selling author)

Excellent

I would recommend this story to anyone. The performer is a little bland, but the story leaves you wanting more. I found myself sitting in my truck for 10 to 15 minutes after I reached my destination just to reach the next chapter break. Moreover, even after listening to the book, I bought the actual physical book and reread it.

I look forward to continuing the series.

nicer than One Second After

these characters get luckier than most during the apocalypse, but it never stops being believable. I think some people will find the "recovered diary" format an interesting choice, but it keeps the narrative tight and mitigates some of the issues with post-apocalyptic fiction like unrelenting misery. instead, this book focuses mostly on the protagonist explaining how they overcame the odds stacked against them, and I like that.

A Gripping Tale of a World Gone Mad!!!

If you could sum up Day By Day Armageddon in three words, what would they be?

The Quintessence of Zombie Fiction!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

How would you survive the end of the world?

Any additional comments?

This book griped me like almost no other. I first listened to it a few months ago; and, since then, I have listen to it many many times. The journal-style of narrative immersed me in the mind of a common main experiencing uncommon circumstances in a way I never thought possible. I would recommend this book to anything without any hesitation! None whatsoever!

Good not great, not new, not innovative

I liked this story and finished six hour recording in two days. The story is not gripping, it’s pretty much the same end of world zombie story. The twist in this book is that it’s reads as a diary with lots of details. A key fact about this book is that it’s AUDIBLE ONLY that tells you something. When you add that it’s a series and it’s only 6 hours long it says a lot. Will I continue this series.... No this story is too vanela

Not bad.... not great... but not bad

I got this book based on recommendations, most were good, and on the whole, I agree with them. Story: decent, Narrator: pretty good, Wow Factor: mild-medium. My favorite part of a good zombie novel is the beginning... how, why, what.... not as strong here as I'd hoped, but not bad. You wont waste a credit. It's worth listening too.
