Ghost Run

This Ghost Run review almost didn’t happen. Or at least this soon. I have a love hate relationship with my spam filter. Yes it saves me from weeny pills but it catches important things too. In the case being emailed by a major publisher about the newest release of my favorite zombie series it was wrong.

Ghost Run takes part in a ravaged Southern U.S dominated by hordes of Undead. While on a supplies run the main character picks up a distress call. The possibility of a cure makes him abandon returning to safety. With no turning back he leads a one-man rescue mission. Success means hope for all of humanity. Failure means the eventual end for all and joining the ranks of the undead.

J.L. Bourne

This week Mike and I welcome Day By Day Armageddon Author J.L. Bourne on to the podcast. J.L. Bourne is the author of my favorite zombie book series. He has written all the books while also serving in the Navy full time.

We discuss the three previous books in the series and the newly released Ghost Run. In the series J.L. Bourne has an unnamed character journal his personal experiences in surviving a zombie apocalypse. The majority of the series is all told from his point of view. You are basically inside his mind along for the ride. You get all of the weird and crazy thoughts that run through a person’s head.

The previous book, Shattered Hourglass, was the only departure from this format. J.L. Bourne explained it in the interview that is was to move plot points forward. I am happy for the return to a solo story. In fact a large portion of the book he is completely alone. Just Kilroy surrounded by the undead on an crazy mission.

We avoid giving away any spoilers for Ghost Run but try to convey our excitement by it. If you are like me then you hate spoilers. No spoilers sweetie. The full review of Ghost Run will be coming out this Friday and there will be a giveaway.

Surviving Zombies

This week Mike and I have a little fun surviving zombies. We are both huge fan of Halloween and Zombies. Zombies are partially the reason I got into survival in the first place.

We have had a long time to figure out the ideal way to survive a Zombie Apocalypse. The tools and resources you will need to live it out. Our take is a bit different than most.

I feel that the only way to survive zombies is with community. Without a tight knit diverse community you cannot hope to survive zombies. You can’t be both farmer, soldier and surgeon, cook, mechanic and whatever else you need. Having members that are better suited to specific tasks is how you will be surviving zombies.

We talk about all that and more.

Prepping For Zombies

October 1, 2013October 1, 2013 James Burnette 1,145 Comments

Today I’m going to have a little fun. My goal today is to share some tactics to implore in preparing to survive a zombie apocalypse. But you say James zombies aren’t real. Well yes I know this but zombies are fun to think about. In fact zombies was a gateway drug into prepping for me. My life long affair with post apocalyptic and zombie movies. Something about them always drew me in. Other horror movies could not grab my attention. Zombies are a thinking mans monster. If you are a Tokyo pedestrian during a Godzilla rampage, well you’re screwed. Same thing with most other monsters. With zombies though the scenarios are always about people trying to survive. Zombies are slow moving and stupid with an all consuming desire to eat. We won’t delve into in this post but they represent many metaphors I will chat about over beers. After years of watching the movies and thinking about what I would do I eventually stumbled onto a certain internet forum about zombie survival and went down the rabbit hole of survivalisim. I soon realized many of my “plans” were completely idiotic. Now that I know better I can revise those early plans. Today I’ll share some tips with you on how you can survive a real zombie apocalypse.
