zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Just pre-ordered Day By Day Armageddon. After the brilliant writing of JL Borne on the first book, i highly recommend it for any zombie apocalypse fan.

Some info on the upcoming book:

-It's finished.
-It begins right where the first novel left off.
-It's much longer than the first.
-It took a lot of time and research.
-Remnants of the U.S. military apparatus remain.
-There is advanced military technology to include UCAVs.
-There are more weapons.
-There are more characters.
-The probable nature/source of the anomaly may be revealed.
-There is much death and destruction.
-There are billions of undead walking worldwide.
-Many creatures have absorbed millions of mrems of radiation when nuclear weapons airburst detonated over major population centers. The creatures have been reported to have interesting side effects attributed to the unusually high doses of radiation.


Bit of background on the Author:

J.L. Bourne is an active duty military officer and currently resides in the Washington D.C. area. He has completed numerous tours of duty in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, logging more than sixty combat missions over Iraq, earning three Air Medal Strike/Flight awards. Despite the ongoing war efforts, he somehow finds the time to put pen to paper in order to bring to you the fall of humanity in the Day by Day Armageddon universe.

So I take it the first one is a good read, Andy?

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

yeah man, it's a brilliant read. If I ever get my copy back from whoever on the forum currently has it, i'll send it on to you if you wish.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Oh man, I read the first one when it was just postings on a website. It's been well over five years I've been waiting (and many others) for the sequel. Hmmm, may have to preorder, though I really didn't believe it was going to finally come.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

yeah, the first chapters were absolutely fantastic... read it a bunch of times on the site then bought the book, then bought the electronic book, then got the audiobook... yeah, i do like it ;)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Sounds like my kind of book, I am going to see if they have it at Amazon...if not, I would love to take you up on borrowing your copy. :)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

oh, they definitely have it. it's worth getting, imo

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I think I have my next book to read then...thanks Andy. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

no worries, mate! If you want another suggestion, get World War Z. Another brilliant book, written by Max Brooks

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

After reading the first one last summer, I cannot WAIT for this! I haven't preordered it yet, plan on it before it ships.


Andy, do you know if this one is written blog-style? Or is it more like a normal novel?

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I find it funny that there can be a "Zombie Armageddon" fan group... This thing is bigger than I thought...Do they have a special section in Barnes and Noble? Is it next to the "Syrupy Teen Vampire Romance" section? ;)


JK, Andy, I would read it for sure, sounds like a great summer on the deck with a cigar read.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

OK, I gotta ask.. What is the facination with the unreal Zombies taking over the world? There is a local chick on the radio and that's all she talks about.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Just because it is inevitable.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

:tpd:

It has to happen sooner or later...

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

And the fact that they're the one "unbeatable" ghoul. Every other has such an easy weakness. Ware wolves have silver bullets, vampires have stake to the heart and steal all their right socks... they hate chaos, apparently.

Zombies are the one that there is no easy way to defeat them. Each and every human that they kill, our side gets weaker and their side gets stronger. It's the battle of mankind where we really have to watch our back constantly.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Shooting them in the head is pretty easy. And fun for the whole family.
Plus you get to say "Headshot" like in Unreal Tournament.
They're really stupid, too. All a guy has to do is build a corral and lure them into the wood chipper gate.
Ya just gotta think outside the box a bit. You don't go hand to hand with braineaters, that's like trying to stick a wet noodle up a wildcat's ass. It's just gonna get you hurt and annoy the wildcat.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I look for the Broncos to run more of the Wildcat this year with Tebow.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

as an individual they're stupid but as a whole they act like a hive mind. Driven by the scent of blood. Headshots are all find and dandy but what about the first shot that skirts around the edge of the skull and misses the brain? I understand that this is America but what happens when you're out of ammo? What next? Hand to hand combat may come as a final option but it would be necessary.



I've really thought too much about this. :\

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Sorry for the double post but i have absolutely no idea what you just said...

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

You're getting them confused with the Borg. Zombies are about as smart as cats.
You gotta lose this singular mentality. There's gonna be lots. Think giant flaming fireballs and large explosives and Oprah Winfrey. I'm old and I'll tire out fast, so I'm definately gonna have to rely on heros with handguns to thin the herd and get ate. Lob a grenade in there while they're eating a brain and you're gonna get 40 or 50 at a time. That's good numbers.
That's where Tim Tebow comes in. He might not last long, but he's gonna look real good. Plus he's fast. That'll buy time. And style points. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

there are Signs and Portents, Michael.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

hmmm obviously a thread I'm not gonna understand..... Any one here play too much AD&D as a kid?

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I'm Tom, and I'm a Tebow Zombie.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

i've lost track of my own thread.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

You ain't gonna last long when the dead horde approaches, my brother. I'd suggest you embrace the Tebow while there's still time. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

hahahahahaha, maybe i should say sod it and just become a zombie.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Accidental Death & Dismemberment? What kind of game is that for kids?:rolleyes:

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

What the heck happened?? My first post out of the noob section and it's no longer there....that sux. Oh well, I'll just try again. So what is the name of the first book?

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Day by Day Armageddon
I had to look it up.
The second is: Beyond Exile: Day by Day Armageddon

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Thanks for the quick reply! I'll be heading to the B&N to see if I can find a copy. BTW I am sitting on the front porch enjoying a nice Arturo Fuente Special Selection as I type this.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Good choice, brother. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

just ordered Day by Day Armageddon and pre-ordered Beyond Exile can't wait to get my read on

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

good man! both brillian books. Well worth the read!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Sounds like an interesting read! I'm a big zombie apocalypse fan. If any of you guys are into pc/xbox gaming, pick up Left 4 dead 1 or 2. They are great games if you are a zombie fan. Never to old to pick up video gaming. ;-)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

just got the expansion for L4S2 on both pc and xbl. WIll eventually play it, too ;)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I grabbed Day by Day Armageddon in .pdf format and downloaded Aji .pdf reader for the iPad. It seems like it's going to be a fun read.
Mind ya, Dooge, this will be the second fiction book I've read in my life, so I'm coming in your window if it sucks. ;)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

My daughter has Left 4 Dead 2 for her xbox. I still haven't found time to play it. I watched her a couple times, and it looks great. Valve makes a nice game. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

:D They're barred... :p

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Atta boy. :r

(I got Aji on my iphone now and I'm reading it on there, too. Shouldn't take me long.)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

woot!! i just bought Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.. it's pretty cool so far.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Thanks for the link Andy! WOOT! preordered

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

no worries, my man!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I just finished reading the book, Andy. I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
Looks like you're safe for now. ;)

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

i read most of the first one when he had it up online (4, 5 years ago?) before he took it down to publish. i wouldn't go so far as to say he's a brilliant writer, by any means. it was a fun read, and i'm a huge zombie nut, but i wasn't tempted to purchase.

much better read, i'd say, is max brooks' world war Z - really well done, thought out and hopefully coming to a theater near us, at some point (brad pitt's production company bought the rights, but it's kinda floundering). also, there's an ongoing comic/graphc novel called the walking dead - also well done. and will be a six part mini-series on AMC this fall.

don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to deter anyone from buying the day by day book, i just wasn't totally enamored with it.

and wtf? tebow with the 25th pick? does mcdaniels just do stuff for shock value?

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

Just finished the Zombie Survival Guide, also by Max Brooks. Good stuff, and I feel more prepared for when the walking dead inhabit the earth feeding on the flesh of the living.

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I just got World War Z and started into it. It looks like I'm gonna like it, thanks Larry. :)
I got the Zombie Survival Guide, too. I seem to remember leafing through that one at a bookstore long ago, thinking I might enjoy it. Bought something else. There's a newish book called Zombies Forever, and it looks like its going to be fun. It's supposed to be funny. :tu

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I bought this yesterday on my iPad and finished it tonight. Awesome book and I cant wait for the second part to come out. I'd honestly be reading it right now if I could.....

Thanks for the awesome book recommendation!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

:banger My order came in. DBDA 2

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

DBDA2 is an awesome continuation of the story!
How can you not love this book?!?!

Re: zombie fan? Read Day by Day Armageddon? Read on!
 

I just got Beyond Exile on my iPad. I'll read it later today. I'm totally looking forward to it. :tu
