Some zombie reading and more for the bored types.

[TK-1987]

Not sure if anyone is a zombie fan like me. But while browsing earlier I came across this first 79 page preview for a book called Day By Day Armageddon. Its about a Journal of a Navel Aviator in Texas and his dealings first with hearing about a virus outbreak in China and eventually it spreading to the U.S. and the world within a month. It took me around an hour to read and very decent, gets better mid-way through.

Linkage: www.tacticalunderground.us/journal1.htm

Second, which I have yet to read is a full free novel called Autumn.

Description for this is as follows:

"In less than twenty-four hours a vicious and virulent disease destroys almost all of the population. Billions are killed. Thousands die every second.

There are no symptoms and no warnings. Within moments of infection each victim suffers a violent and agonising death. Only a handful of survivors remain. By the end of the first day those survivors wish they were dead.

A small group of desperate people take shelter together in a village hall on the outskirts of a large city. Too afraid to venture out into the infected world, their shelter becomes a prison and the frightened group begins to splinter and crack under the emotional and physical pressure of the inexplicable situation.

Terrified and trapped without electricity, water or supplies, the survivors exist from hour to hour.

Then the disease strikes again. And all hell breaks loose."

And heres the link for that. www.theinfected.co.uk/Autumn.htm

Earlier I did order "The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From The Living Dead" by Max Brooks and should get it by Friday evening. Will post details on that perhaps Sunday at the latest. But general info is as follows:

"The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection From the Living Dead, published in 2003, is a fictitious survival manual that deals with the potentiality of an undead attack. Its author, Max Brooks, lays out detailed plans for the average citizen to survive zombie uprisings of varying intensity."

Official website where you can download a preview of the book: www.randomhouse.com/crown/zombiesurvivalguide/

He did come out with another book called World War Z and mainly about him interviewing survivors of a war set ten years ago in that set storyline of the book. It will be made into a movie in 2008 by Paramount Pictures.

link is here on wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_Z

and its official site with a small quiz on your chance to survive a zombie war. I got a 31% ..blah: www.randomhouse.com/crown/worldwarz/

I may or may not add more links, if anything I can find thats interesting or not to add.
