Drawl: Duncan's Story

Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse, Book 10

Outbreak - Day One

Like a fragile house of cards in a hurricane, Presidents, Premiers, entire governments and their ruling bodies disappeared instantly. Some had ensconced themselves in deep underground bunkers or remained holed up in fortified strongholds, but history would tell that most had been swallowed up by the dead - never to be heard from again.

On that last normal Saturday in July, while an unknown virus indiscriminately wreaks destruction and death to all four points of the compass - a chain of events at a rally in a downtown square gets Duncan Winters to thinking that Portland, Oregon may not be immune to the quickly spreading carnage.

But seeing is not believing until that initial veil of normalcy bias - a person's natural tendency to underestimate both the possibility of a disaster and its possible effects - is lifted and long-dormant survival instincts forged and honed in Vietnam begin to awaken within him.

Don't miss out!

Gives some background into Duncan a very witty lovable character! Really glad I went back and read it!

Two things happened when I read this book..

I realized the following two statements were overused...

1) two things happened simultaneously
2)excessive and distracting overuse of ‘former and latter’

Good read if you can ignore those things lol - thanks for another good book sir!

Good story, but.....

This should have been the book just before or just after book 1 (.5 or 1.5?). It tells a good and compelling story about Duncan Winters and where he was on the day the apocalypse began. It even fills in some of his past and how he came to be in Portland that day. Being placed in the series as book 10 didn't make any sense to me though. I highly recommend it as a read/listen as it is just as good as the rest of the series.

Best Book Of The Series

Shawn follows Duncan Winters and perfectly captures the start of the zombie out break. The story is VERY intense and well written. It reads like a main stream block buster movie.
This is what Fear The Walking Dead season one should have been.

Great book.

Love it

A little on the shorter side but love the book and the series as always
