Abandoned Hope is the second novel in the Affliction Z series, which finds Sean Ryder dealing with the beginning of the zombie apocalypse.
At the end of the first book, Patient Zero, Sean returned home from Nigeria, safe but not entirely whole. He and Turk were the only ones that witnessed what had happened halfway across the world.
And there was no way they weren’t going to be prepared for the inevitable.
So when the infection spreads eight years later, they both go underground into their bunkers. But not for long. With the afflicted and the other humans left to roam the countryside, no one could predict what was going to happen.
Driven from their homes and needing to save the ones they love, both Sean and Turk need to put all their training to the test. But even then it might not be enough.
The afflicted will come, people will die, and the future will be uncertain.
Review: ‘Affliction Z: Abandoned Hope’
Abandoned Hope, much like Patient Zero, combines a military thriller with the zombie genre. Fast paced and quick witted, this is a book that will have you turning from page to page in order to see what happens next.
Tough girls and smart guys litter each scene. In a world where the humans are just as deadly as the afflicted, there’s no one you can trust. That sets the tone of the entire book, and will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.
The details are what drive the story, from the types of weapons to the validity of the secure underground bunkers, this world feels close and maybe a little too real.
Patient Zero, the first novel in this series, is currently free on Amazon. The best part is that you don’t even need a Kindle in order to read it, as there’s an app for all android and Apple devices, and even one for your computer.
The second book in the series, Abandoned Hope, is currently being discounted by 40%. After the promotion, it will return to $4.99.
