Publisher's summary

In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Someday soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission: Subvenire refectus. To rescue and rebuild.

The Remaining is the first book in the best-selling series, which tells a gritty tale of survival, perseverance and fighting to get back what has been lost.

Enjoyed it

I'm a huge walking dead fan and I thought this story was really a different take on the whole idea. I like the main character and it wasn't a predictable story.

Good, but...

Any additional comments?

I don't know if I would have bought this if I had known it was a series (the ending leaves you hanging.) I really liked his twists on the zombie epidemic, but there were pieces to this story that made me shake my head no.

Glad I read it, yet I won't be reading the next one.

Eh...so so.

The story was mediocre. The infected people in the story only set the stage for the REAL bad guys...other regular people. The infected were weak and the storyline was weak. The story was well written though and the narrator did a pretty decent job on the voices.

Near perfection.

Through the myriad apocalyptic themes, this one shines & treads water with the best.

loved it

loved it, it wasn't what I was expecting when I bought it. the writer found a story telling method that doesn't get repetitive. shorter book but worth a read.

very average,

good for a road trip, which is why I got it, but lacking the depth and realism you would find from a J.L Bourne. the main character is supposed to be a highly trained best of the best soldier yet is constantly making mistakes and seems to have no real control over his emotions

Great book. Not ruined by being PC.

This book has a pretty good story. What is so refreshing to me is this book is not some PC crap like the rest. I saw comments about woman complaining there are no warrior woman... Guess what. That’s reality. I get so sick of every book where half the soldiers are woman and of course they’re the biggest bad asses in every group. Jesus Christ go into a combat situation and you will see how fast that PC crap gets thrown out the window.

Not for everyone

I got bored and quit with 3 hours left. The action was not as entertaining for me and so I found it as a wasted credit.

Outstanding book

Any additional comments?

This story rises above other post-apocalyptic novels and has a more believable take on the concept of the "undead." Great writing, great narration.
