Rise Again Below Zero

Rise Again, Book 2

By: Ben Tripp

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Billions died and rose again, hungry for human flesh. When the nightmare reached Sheriff Danielle Adelman's small mountain community of Forest Peak, California, it was too late for warnings...forcing her to lead a small group of survivors out of hell, all the while seeking her estranged runaway sister at any cost.

Two years later, the undead have evolved. Now, besides the shambling, mindless cannibals are the hunters-cunning and fast, like wolves-and the thinkers, whose shocking intel­ligence and single-minded predatory obsession may mean the downfall of what's left of humanity. As Danny leads a ragtag band of the living through the remnants of the American Midwest, rumors arise of a safe place somewhere east. But the closer they get to it, the more certain Danny becomes that something evil waits for them at the end of the line.

With an unspeakable secret riding beside her and an unbreakable promise made to a small, silent boy, Danny must stake everything she has-her leadership, her sanity, and her life- in order to defeat the ultimate horror in a terrifying and dying world.

Critic reviews

"More than a routine zombiefest, this taut and intelligent tale succeeds as a moving meditation on a world steeped in 'the loneliness of life without afterlife.'" ( Publishers Weekly)

Better than the first book

I thought the second book in the series was actually better than the first! There was more action.

Excellent !!!

I truly loved this story. I was engaging from beginning to end. I highly recommend it.

Non-stop action

Enjoyed the new twist on Zombie plague. Would read again. Hope you're still out there Sheriff.

Great!

This is just an absolutely fantastic series of books. However I do wish there were more!

Fantastic Ending to this Story

Ok, I will admit that I do not like most zombie/apocalypse type books with female lead character. However this series was great and I really liked the way they ended the story.

The only thing I didn't care for in this book was there were too many different classes of zombies which made the story disjointed. I don't mind taking liberties with Zombie canon, however I counted like 4-5 different types of zombies in this book.

I know the author could have dragged out a couple more books using this storyline, however I appreciate how he ended it.

Highly recommend this book.
