Even though we are not living through a Zombie apocalypse right now, this book gave me a sense of what that might feel like. The characters are well designed and felt like real people who would be going through the story. The story is incredibly scary and believable.

After I found myself being surprised by the horror aspects, I stopped looking at it as a single genre and I found myself enjoying it a lot more. It was more Romero based, the zombies were scary and the main character was out for vengence. I will be constantly comparing the two and seeing if the book lives up to the movie. Comparing a book to one of my favorite movies: 28 Day Later is rough for me. He definitely brought The Orphans to life. Basically he felt like everything that Evans was looking for in a narrator. He is easy to follow along with and progresses the story nicely. The narration was done by Jack Wallen, Jr. And it is a story about what one man will do to survive. It is a story about the beginning of something awful. The Orphans Origins Volume 1 is a story about the beginning of a hate.

Listen to The Orphans to hear who makes it past day one! This story will leave your heart pounding, as this amazingly intense series is only beginning! Look for Surviving the Turned, Volume 2, coming soon. When the outbreak happens, Frank wants but one thing: to get his only son, Shaun, and his friends free from town, and he fights a battle against zombies to do so. They each have the strength of 10 men and speed that can't be matched. When Frank thinks he has the cure, a new breed of zombies, the likes of which you've never heard about before, is unleashed. Frank vows to cure her, not knowing of the deadly results and government cover-up that took place almost a decade earlier. Now, when a second chance at love holds promise, she tells him that she too is dying of cancer. He was sent home to care for his young son, Shaun, who still holds resentment today. On the verge of success, his wife unexpectedly lost her battle. He'd been recruited to work on a classified mission for a cure, which could have saved tens of thousands. The Orphans: Origins, Volume 1 is a zombie tale like no other before it.įrank Fox lost his wife to cancer eight years ago. This apocalyptic book is brutal and beautifully described. When one man pushes science past it's breaking point, an unimaginable hell is unleashed on society.
