Do you remember last week I mentioned that I would be on vacation this week and that I had found a very promising 15 book post apocalyptic series? Well, I read the entire series on my vacation. I could not help it - I was so invested in these characters, I had to know what was going to happen next.
The series is Voodoo Plague by Dirk Patton and I give the entire series 5 Stars *****.
John Chase has just arrived in Atlanta on a routine business
trip when America experiences the worst attacks in history. Nuclear bombs
destroy cities and the widespread release of virus-laced nerve gas sends the
majority of the surviving population into a murderous rage. Rescuing Rachel, he
must lead her to safety as Atlanta burns, raging infected roam unchecked and
society disintegrates into savagery.
In the pulse pounding continuation of the Voodoo Plague
series, John, Rachel and Dog have escaped from Atlanta, finding refuge at an
Air Force Base in Tennessee. After being recalled to active duty, John strikes
a deal with the Army that will help him rescue his wife in Arizona, but all of
his plans are quickly put in jeopardy as a second wave of infection rips
through the surviving population.
In the eagerly anticipated third installment of the high
octane Voodoo Plague series the stakes are raised as millions of infected
threaten John’s escape plan. As the group fights to survive they begin
encountering more of the smarter infected and other survivors that are taking
full advantage of the chaos to prey on their fellow humans. The only safety is
to the west but at every turn the small group is thwarted in their efforts to
escape.
An old enemy rises, revealing plots within plots as the
survivors struggle to reach safety and find the missing. Those infected by the
virus are getting smarter and deadlier. As the world continues to crumble, some
are lost while new dangers appear at every turn. In the most sweeping story so
far in the Voodoo Plague series, Red Hammer ratchets up the danger and
intensity.
With the virus mutating, new dangers appear that threaten a
bloody end to the struggle for survival. The next wave of infection sweeps
across the remaining population. Betrayal threatens the alliance with the GRU.
Roach descends deeper into madness, hiding in plain sight as he plots to
capture Katie. With Rachel still missing, it's up to Major Chase to rescue her
and reaffirm the alliance to bring down the Russian president.
With Katie kidnapped by Roach, John must not only save her
but also deal with the betrayal of the new President. Days Of Perdition opens
with the story of how Katie survived and reached Oklahoma City. Now that John
knows she is alive nothing will stop him from rescuing her, but will he find
her in time?
Indestructible continues the story of the struggle for
survival after the events in Days Of Perdition. With massive herds closing in
on Tinker Air Force Base, the only option is evacuation, and Tech Sergeant
Scott, Irina and Igor must race against time to search for any survivors of the
crash.
Tinker Air Force Base has fallen to the infected. Rachel's
plane to Seattle has been shot down over a mountain wilderness in Idaho. Is she
alive? It is up to John, Katie and Dog to race against time, invading armies,
blizzards, herds of infected and vicious wild predators to reach the crash
site. As they fight their way across the country, they must come to grips with
the new reality of the world, and devise a long term plan for their survival.
Sweeping across a wide swath of North America, Recovery continues the journey
of Major John Chase and the small band of survivors he's left with after the
evacuation of Tinker at the end of Indestructible. New dangers abound as the
toll from the battle to survive weighs heavily on John's shoulders.
The Russian military has surged, invading the devastated
United States in large numbers. Russian civilians are arriving, laying claim to
the spoils of war. Events from John's past bring new dangers for the few
remaining survivors as the Russians begin an all out effort to capture and send
him to Moscow for trial and execution. Precipice continues the story of the V
Plague survivors' struggle to evade both the infected and the invading army.
America fights back! In the thrilling new addition to the V
Plague series, the decimated US Military brings the fight to the invading
Russians. As battles rage, John is drawn into the melee, delaying his quest to
reach Seattle with the remainder of his group. As all are threatened by
escalating nuclear war, new dangers stand in the way of the survivors reaching
safety.
John is in the hands of the Russian military as the conflict
escalates. His only hope is to escape as those he loves are threatened by
nuclear attacks. When a new Russian plot is revealed, the survivors must battle
to save the last vestiges of humanity from final annihilation.
With a Russian invasion force threatening, and a downed
American pilot in the Sea of Cortez, John must set aside the most personal loss
of his life and continue the battle to save what remains of America. Leading a
lightning mission into Mexico, he encounters survivors who have formed militias
and pose a threat to anyone who is not part of their group. Meanwhile, Admiral
Packard prepares for the final defense of Hawaii.
Still dealing with his personal loss and a severe injury
suffered in the rescue of Igor and the captured girls, John is determined to
reach Australia to punish the Russian president. But, the militia that had
taken the girls is now surrounding the facility at Area 51 and is intent on
exacting vengeance. John must battle his way free and find a way to make the
journey to Sydney as Admiral Packard plans a mass exodus from Hawaii.
Trying to adjust to his return to civilization, John learns
of the horrors yet to come that were revealed in Exodus. With Igor and Irina on
their way to Siberia, he must travel to Australia to complete what may be his
final and most personal mission; assassinate the Russian president.
After the disastrous events at the end of Scourge, it is
left to the Athena Project to set things right. But problems arise that change
the course of events in a way that could not have been predicted.
That's all 15. I can honestly say this is one of the best post apocalyptic series I have ever read. It is a little different from my normal reads because there is a very heavy military presence. Most of my reads have the average Joe trying to survive with little or no survival skills - that is certainly not the case with this series.
I hope you're reading something great!
Thanks for stopping by,
Michelle
