Publisher's summary

The people that killed the world were fiendishly clever.

After decades of planning, the contagion was unleashed, and overnight hundreds of millions died and came back as rampaging, undead monsters. The living that had been lucky enough to survive the first day of carnage, lucky enough to be in the right place, and lucky enough that some of them had the skills to survive soon found out there was much more to worry about than just zombies.

In the high desert on the outskirts of Reno, there is an old truck stop frequented by a mix of hard caliber truckers, day tourists, musicians, and travelers. They have survived the chaotic first hours of contact with the undead and now must make their way across the country to a location they believe is safe. Zombies are only the beginning of their troubles as they try to cover the thousands of miles of open road with their hastily armored 18-wheelers. Gunny, a long haul trucker doing one of the few jobs available to him as a disgraced soldier, is unwillingly saddled with the job of getting these survivors to the safe zone. With a motley crew of truck drivers, college kids, veterans, a drug dealer, and a rock star, they are racing the clock to make it before time runs out. The last text he had received from his wife before the cell towers went down told him she was trapped in a high-rise in downtown Atlanta and their son was in detention, stranded in the basement of the school he attended. Gunny just wanted to drop the hammer, steal some guns, and blast his way in to rescue them, but duty called. He had to get these people to safety first, then he could recruit the best of this crew to help him save his family. If they survived the journey.

LOVED IT

Omg! So good! Love this one! All the characters are amazing. The writing is great and narration by Shelman was excellent. I read a ton of zombie and post apocalyptic books and this one is definitely one of the best. Can’t wait to read or listen to more in this series.

Not so friendly roads

Zombies, truck drivers and a few sassy tagalongs. Not ordinary drivers most are former military. They modify trucks and start subtracting. Recommended

Grate twist of the Zombie uprise

Well written. I like the narrator. The twist on the Zombie uprise is great. Great research on the military lingo.

Exhilarating thrill ride

And exhilarating tail in the zombie apocalypse. A group of Beck Road truckers find themselves at a little truck stop near Reno. And then the zombie apocalypse happens. This is an action-packed through ride. Great cast of characters plenty of multiple personalities from all areas of society. See what is left of the world and how they try to make their way and save themselves and others. One of the best zombie apocalypse books I have read. This is an awesome series written by an awesome offer. Narrated by an awesome narrator who doesn’t excellent job making every voice sound different and giving them all personality. You will not be disappointed check this book and audiobook out. You won’t be disappointed
