Publisher's summary

The first book of Day by Day Armageddon took us deep into the mind of a military officer and survivor as he made a New Year's resolution to start keeping a journal. The man kept his resolution and brought to us the fall of humanity, day by day. We see the man transition from the life that you and I live to the prospect of fighting for his very survival against the overwhelming hordes of the dead. We see him bleed, we see him make mistakes, we witness him evolve. The highly anticipated sequel to the best-selling underground cult classic, Day by Day Armageddon, begins where the first novel left off.

BEGIN INTERCEPT

Armies of undead have risen up across the U.S. and around the globe; there is no safe haven from the diseased corpses hungering for human flesh. But in the heat of a Texas wasteland, a small band of survivors attempt to counter the millions closing in around them.

INTERCEPT COMPLETED

Day by day, the handwritten journal entries of one man caught in a worldwide cataclysm capture the desperation--and the will to survive--as he joins forces with a handful of refugees to battle soulless enemies both human and inhuman from inside an abandoned strategic missile facility. But in the world of the undead, is mere survival enough?

Any additional comments?

Read all three books, i wish there were more following

The plot thickens.....

I enjoyed this installment in this series even more than the first. For me, this book started out slowly, but once the hero left the shelter of his shelter...the plot really got going. I thought it was very suspenseful, and full of action and plausible scenarios. Well, plausible under the current conditions of the storyline, anyway. Haha...

I really enjoy the narrator as well. They did a great job in finding the right voice for the subject matter and style of the writing. Great book!

entertaining as the first

I enjoy it on long drives it is full of humor and wit. looking forward to the next one

Enjoyable, but characters do some duuuumb stuff

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I enjoy this series both because the characters occasionally do smart things AND because they often do very dumb things.

Great series

I love this series because it keeps you on your toes. The overall narrative of a zombie apocalypse is good on its own, but then throwing in the twists and turns of the human component and you’ve got a good story!

A great follow up

Book 2 is worth investing into. After a certain event about 40% through couldn't stop listening!

Strange Ending

Reads like a survival book and the ending is very strange, like it is rushed and written by a different author to wrap up the book quickly.

Excellent book with caveats

What did you love best about Beyond Exile?

The story and narrator kept my attention the entire time, with only a few moments where the story dragged a bit.

I have to wonder, however, if the author simply forgets to tie the loose ends, or if he is planning to tie them all in an upcoming sequel. Maybe it's a combination of the two. For example, the author keeps dropping hints that there's something suspicious about the middle-eastern man who tracked the main character. I have a feeling I know what's going on with the middle-eastern guy. But here's where it gets funky. When the two met, the middle-eastern stranger had a signalling mirror. The main character never even asks who this guy was signalling. And what happened to this off-screen character who was getting the signals? That was a really annoying plot hole.

There seem to be other ideas that the author starts and then drops.

Still a great listen, though. Worth getting.

Best in this Genre. #1

What did you love best about Beyond Exile?

I didn't want to stop reading.

Any additional comments?

In my opinion, Day by Day Armageddon is the best zombie/apocalypse series out there, followed by The Morningstar Strain and World War Z tied at second place. Day by Day Armageddon had great narration, story development, action, realism, and characters. You won't want to put this book down so make sure you have some free time. Absolutely read this book. I am desperately waiting for the third book in the series.
