Publisher's summary

This is a reissue of Book 2 in the Blue Plague Series - narrated by Eric A. Shelman.

The battle for the future has just begun.

Bruce and Mike finally made it home. But the battle for the future has just begun.

The Louisiana farm that Bruce and his allies had built to survive the end of the world was everything they could have hoped for — but no one had planned for the endless horde of fast, smart, and ravenous blue zombies who could think, heal, and even reproduce.

Now, as they gather an armory of military weaponry from abandoned outposts all across the countryside, Bruce and his growing clan of survivors realize the truth — their compound can be the beginning of a new and rebuilt world — but only if they can confront the “blues” and make their home safe.

Pity the poor blues.

one of my favorite series so far

I always have a hard time getting interested in a story/book, so far I have not gotten a single Thomas Watson book that I have not enjoyed. let's keep riding the wave!

The story of Bruce and his large endowment

not a bad story overall but there is a lot of filler content. also the main character has a very large male appendage and several chapters are devoted to it. apparently all the families and the stragglers coming in enjoy it though so there's that. you'll learn how to ride the wave for sure while dodging Bruce's endowment. anyway if you like a lot of talk of different types of equipment and how badass everybody is and Bruce's big, thang, then you will love the story.

Can’t wait to hear the next!

I own all of Thomas A Watson’s Audible books and have to say that this is one of the best! This is also one of my favorites in the Blue Plague series. Eric A Shelman does an amazing job with each character. You did Millie and Carol exactly how I felt they should sound! This audio edition did not disappoint. Thank you! Can’t wait for the rest of the series to be added!

This series has everything!

This series is written by one of the best writers out there. His other series, Dark Titan, Stolen Liberty and Forgotten Forbidden America for example are in my top ten of all time and that’s saying something. I listen to about a book a day or anywhere from 10-14 hours daily. I have 1777 titles in my library at the moment and the PA/ZA genre is my favorite. I’ve listened to most and can’t compare Mr. Watsons work to anyone else because his work is so intricate and detailed. I actually wish they were longer!! Although the story is so detailed, it is easy to follow and will keep your interest throughout.

This book has intense action throughout but is laced with humor. Sometimes very silly humor but it makes me laugh nonetheless. I’m a mom of 3 kids in their 20’s and although some of the jokes make me roll my eyes I’m still smiling. I love the intense theme of “family first” and encourage anyone on the fence to just buy the first book! You will not regret it I promise. I hope I don’t have to wait too long for book 4.

Eric A Shelman (listen to HIS Z/A book series too! His books are in my top 10 too) is the best narrator possibly for Mr. Watsons work. He makes it easy to distinguish characters even before they are identified and obviously understands the humor because he delivers it perfectly! Can’t wait for more!

Awesome book

The comedy, humor and action in the book makes you not want to turn it off. I get in trouble for walking around the house with earbuds in listening to Thomas books and not my wife lol. Love all his series on audible!
