No one even bothers to try and think up any kind of plan on how to survive because they are all sure that somehow, Talbot will pull their asses out of the fire.

Of course, Talbot has to get up to some practically superhuman shenanigans that is when he isn't being saved by the family dog but he somehow constantly manages to save everyone because that's what a man does - save his family. I spent much of the book hoping that a zombie would eat Talbot. There were quite a few female characters in this book but luckily, there really is no real need for them to be strong characters, when they can depend on Talbot.

Tracy, Talbot's wife, is still alive and kicking but she never really gets into the action. Why would Michael bother to teach Tracy a practical skill like shooting a gun, when he can take his teenage sons out on missions against the zombies. Surely, a teenage boy has to be competent than an adult woman and besides, it teaches the young men that their job is to protect the womenfolk, just like dear old dad. Mike constantly acts like he is afraid of his shrewish wife but at no point does he bother to consult her for advice.

Tracy exists to give Talbot something to save and is only humanized when dealing with her mother Carol, who has suddenly become frail and in need of Michael's protection, despite surviving by herself on a farm at the beginning of the apocalypse and her son Justin, who struggles to fight back against his link with Liza. Carol however does end up earning her keep, by pushing Mike's sister Lyndsey out of the kitchen. Everyone complains loudly about Lyndsey's cooking and none louder than Mike but since his job is saving the world, actually entering the kitchen and cooking for himself is inconceivable.

Besides, it gives the women something to do while they are waiting to be saved. Then we have Nicole, who from the sounds of it is about six weeks pregnant. Nicole at this point is practically an invalid, who spends most of her time puking and expressing some kind of weakness. Nicole is in a sense nothing more than a walking womb but she's precious because she carries the future of the Talbot line.

Nope, I couldn't make this shite up if I tried. This is par for the course because daughters are trouble - something Mike knows all to well. Rachael is 10 and she is my only daughter.

She is the most wonderfully devious of children. If there is trouble to find, she's not only in it but in it to win it. I had learned the hard way after punishing my own boys way too much, that my daughter not only sought out trouble but was usually the root cause of it. She is a mini version of her mom, entirely too cute to be as cunning as she is. She scares the hell out of me because she is going to need to be locked in a closet VERY soon.

Maybe that secret desire of all fathers to be able to lock their daughters away from testosterone infused boys could now be realized. Women in this series exist to be shrews like Tracy and Mrs. Yes, join me in a good eye roll. The only character of colour with a large presence in this novel is BT Big Tiny. He isn't really a person just a caricature of one. BT flashed a smile. I am not against racism being included in a story, as this is something that POC have to live with and most certainly would not have disappeared the moment a zombie apocalypse started.

The problem is that it becomes a cheap plot device in the hands of Tufo. Alex the Handy Manny of the series only appears in the novel for a short bit at the end but of course has to undergo a racist assault by none other than Mrs. Devereaux, to remind us of course that Mrs. Devereaux is a horrible person and that Alex is Mexican.

Almost every person who is to be read as bad is a racist. And a bit less complaining about women, so that is another plus. The story, however, went on too long. It felt like the story should have ended after the battle at Camp Custer since that was the climax of the story, but then it goes on and on and on with dozens more scenes that had no real purpose i.

And to top it off, the epilogue goes back into the past where we have to hear about Talbot using drugs I thought he was a marine??

Smashwords – Zombie Fallout 3 : The End – a book by Mark Tufo.

The only purpose I can see for this epilogue is so the author can use a short story he wrote about the same characters - because it certainly has nothing to do with these zombie books. Or with character development: I also don't know why we're subjected to an unrelated thread where we start following Paul's journey I already have the next book in the series, but that is the last one of these I'll be reading, regardless of how the author drops the ball at the end of the book as his ploy to get you to keep buying i.

I didn't find this middle book to lag in any way. I continue to highly recommend Tufo's series. I love this guy. Ok, so there are more after this, thankfully since I am fully addicted to reading about the Talbot family and their adventures in a post-apocalyptic world full of zombies. The host of supporting characters is also outstanding. I havent often found myself so intrigued by the lesser characters in a book, yet Tufo has the ability to make you fall in love with everyone of them and want to know more and more.

One particular character, BT, is such a dynamic character that I can almost see him having his own book! Although distinct books, I am reviewing them together because that is the way that I read them. Once I finished each book, I was so wrapped up in the story that I immediately purchased the next.

If you read the first book, and are anything like me, you'll feel compelled to read the entire series. I recommend that you read the prequel Dr. Hugh Mann after the third book. It makes perfect sense then, but is a different story and style from the rest of the books. Zombie Fallout book 1 sets the stage and is a better starting point.

Told in diary format primarily from the point of view of Mike Talbot, a tough and crude ex-Marine and self-proclaimed survivalist, the series follows a small group of family and friends and the amazingly flatulent bulldog Henry who are doing their best to survive a zombie apocalypse caused by a tainted swine flu vaccine. Led by Mike, they stay one small step ahead of the zombies who turn out to be a bit more complicated than George Romero envisioned.

But if you want an action-packed series that has you cracking up at every turn and far too often relating! Ships from and sold by Amazon. This story gets better and better. I have read a lot of Zombie books but few have reached the caliber of the Zombie Fallout series. Learn more about Kindle MatchBook. The family is still together and still on the run from the character that started the epedimic.

Mike's perspective is hysterically funny, primarily because he is a bundle of contradictions - a big tough man afraid of germs and bossed around by his wife, a survivalist who makes plans that are so half-baked that he calls them "ideas" instead of plans, and a ruthless killer who is tender, fiercely protective of his family, and takes incredible, spontaneous risks for strangers. Mike is a down to earth, farting but never in front of his wife , and beer-drinking man.

As such, the humor is sometimes a bit crude, but this makes the story ring true. Mike is also unfailingly loyal, which is endearing, as he cares for a motley collection of friends and family. His friends, particularly the enigmatic Tommy, make for an interesting supporting cast. In the third book, The End A doctor there thinks he may be able to help Justin, and Mike has an idea about how he might be able to rescue Tommy. Elements of horror, paranormal, supernatural, and dark humor elevate this series beyond your typical zombie fare. As the world spirals even further down into the abyss of apocalypse, one man struggles to keep those around him safe.
