I'm a big fan of his work also. While I wait for his and a few others
Story to unfold in coming books, I just finished the first installment Of "Arisen". It's on kindle and it's great. The protagonist's are A mix of Special Forces and the authors go into pretty good detail. |

Great story line. I have read all 4 books so far. I was looking into the release of the 5th and found out it will not be out until 2015. That sucks. With that said the author is going to release a few novelettes? on the back story on a few of the characters. Those are supposed to be out in 2014.

2015 is a long time to wait. If he released some hardcover copies, i'd be super happy, i don't much feel like borrowing my kindle to someone to read

Quote HistoryQuoted:
When someone receives an item they are borrowing it, when they give an item they are lending it. People from Wisconsin use borrow for both. I remember getting laughed at by a group of people from multiple other states when I said borrow instead of lend and had no idea why. Quote HistoryQuoted:

bonesaw5, you sir are doing just fine. I've finished both "The Remaining" and "Arisen" series.
They are easily the best out there imho; and I've read a ton of this genre. Eagerly awaiting book 5 of the Remaining series. In the meantime I downloaded "Trust" from D.J. Molles. I think it is a pre-cursor to the series. I miss his dog "Tango".

I guess they have some pogue come around and place the thumb drive in each of the coordinators' boxes with each scare? And I'd expect the caches to be memorized and not dependent on a GPS... Also a small cache including a vehicle near his home would be a no-brainer.
I enjoyed the first book an will buy the next today. |

Quoted:
Just finished reading the 4 books in this series (5th one not released yet). Pretty good story line. Not really zombies, more of the 28 Days Later type infected. The Remaining Book 1: The Remaining Book 2: The Remaining: Aftermath Book 3: The Remaining: Refugees Book 4: The Remaining: Fractured In a steel-and-lead-encased bunker 20 feet below the basement level of his house, a soldier waits for his final orders. On the surface, a plague ravages the planet, infecting over 90% of the populace. The bacterium burrows through the brain, destroying all signs of humanity and leaving behind little more than base, prehistoric instincts. The infected turn into hyper-aggressive predators, with an insatiable desire to kill and feed. Some day soon, the soldier will have to open the hatch to his bunker, and step out into this new wasteland, to complete his mission: SUBVENIRE REFECTUS. TO RESCUE AND REBUILD. The Remaining is the first book in the bestselling series, which tells a gritty tale of survival, perseverance and fighting to get back what has been lost. I liked it alot. |

Saw it sitting on the shelf in the bookstore and picked it up on a whim, not expecting much since I'd never heard of it. Got halfway through book 1 and picked up book 2 the next day and preordered 3 & 4. Definitely the best in the genre so far, in my opinion. |

Did anyone read the $3-4 "mini books" he released? |

This seems like the thread for this:
- The Remaining. What this thread is about, everything has been said. Excellent series and eagerly awaiting the next TWO books. He will release book 6, quickly published after book 5 is released. 
- Arisen Series. As mentioned by bonesaw5. I just downloaded books 7 and 8 as they snuck up on my. Special Forces, and very technical. It seems to get away from the Zombie aspect and delves more into people causing people pain. Which is fine by me. The writer has excellent contacts and research and you learn a lot about our military and processes, etc. Fun reads. - Craig Dilouie books. The Infection, Tooth & Nail, The Killing Floor. All are excellent!! |

How is the 5th book? I loved the first 4, then Heard about the 2 short stories
he wrote in between were terrible. Now I'm alittle hesitant to pay $8 |

They were more of supplemental character development without making the main story books too long or convoluted. Somewhat relevant to book 5, and I'm going to guess, VERY relevant to book 6. That being said, book 5 was a little slow as far as action is concerned. It focused a lot on building storyline, the mission at hand, and relationships with new/important characters/areas, that I'm sure will be a huge part of book 6. I fully expect that book 5 was the calm before the storm and book 6 will be long and full of drama and excitement. I don't think any author has made me hate a character as much as I hated Jerry. Fucking Jerry, man. |

Really like it. The main character isn't some "normal person" who does idiotic cringe worthy stuff like in your average horror movie. He has training/skills and act intelligently but Murphy's law is still waiting to kick him in the teeth. Click To View Spoiler Interesting idea to show a highly trained super soldier who was given the most ideal setup still getting turned into hamburger in a SHTF even.
I also loved how the author describes certain parts of the characters mind. In dangerous situations part of his psyche is screaming for him to abandon the defenseless people around him and just save himself, and how he has to push that away and listen to his other instincts. That rung very true to me and it isn't something usual portrayed in movies or written in books. |

Dirk Patton is a writing fool. The hero of this series is a bad-ass. |
