One Frustrated Man's Zombie Apocalypse Story I played all those cool video games. I watched all those movies. I read all those books. In most of those, the hero of the story kills all the zombies, drives a sweet car, has plenty to eat, and always seems to get laid by the end. Yeah. Whatever. I gotta be straight with you about why I wrote this journal and it comes down to one thing, the apocalypse kinda sucks. It doesn’t meet my expectations at all. And I honestly have to tell you, I was looking forward to it. I mean, I really was. It’s not that I don’t like people. I do. But holy crap, I was so tired of all the crap I had to put up with back in the old days, paying a mortgage, high interest rates on my credit cards, high cholesterol, thinning hair and a thickening midsection. I was tired of dealing with jerk-off drivers during rush hour and I was tired of my ex wife yammering at me on the phone until my brain turned to jelly. I was tired of things always getting more expensive and my paycheck always staying the same. I guess from back in all of that, a zombie apocalypse looked like a pretty good future to me. Well, here’s my story. Read it. Let me know what you think.

9 of 10 people found the following review helpful. The solo character is a man in his 50s-60s and there is some sexual content that I wouldn't be comfortable with a teen reading By Red 3.5 stars, but, I'm rounding up because this is an indie author.I'm not sure how Amazon classifies books, but, this is NOT a YA book by any stretch of the imagination. The solo character is a man in his 50s-60s and there is some sexual content that I wouldn't be comfortable with a teen reading.Since Mr. Adair said that he reads these things, I'm going to pop off with a little bit of constructive criticism.First, this would still work as a prequel of sorts to Last Survivors, especially if it is expanded on in later editions. The Shroom people/ virus is still congruous with the beasts in Last Survivors and we got the down and dirty about how and why it came to be.Second, I give him props for inventing a zombie apocalypse where it is logical and feasible for someone to have a bunker in their back yard. I'm sick and tired of "Prepper Jake was an ex-Navy Seal with hordes of food and guns for no other reason than he's just a paranoid guy." This being a slow apocalypse, it made sense that someone would want to and be able to prepare for it. I cannot say thank you enough.Third, much to do is made about Dusty being a blue-collar guy, however, at times, I found his verbiage incongruous with his background. I have the book on my phone, so I can't exactly flip to certain passages, but, in one instance he drops the term social order like it's no big thing.Fourth, Dusty is writing for an anticipated audience that does not understand current day slang, however, his real audience does understand these things and in most cases, the explanations could be cut. It amused me to no end that he went to such lengths to explain certain concepts, yet let others that needed explanation go (I had to think for a few seconds to remember what "running a train" meant, yet that merited no explanation. See my above about this not being a book for teens.)Fifth, I almost put the book down because I was hit in the face with racism in the first few pages. I get that Dusty is supposed to be a "blue collar guy" but, it made me roll my eyes.If more of Dusty's story comes out, I'll probably read it. It took me a while to warm up to the story and the character, but, overall, I've read far, far, far worse zombie apocalypse books.
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Too short / Too Cryptic / Just enough Adair to merit 3.6 By William Prince (WARNING: ****SPOILER ALERT****) Actual rating 3.5 or 3.6 (rounding up to 4 because I really have liked everything this author has published that I have read. I have no plans on reading Flying Soup because I have a feeling I would not like it. Everything else, I have read. Ebola K and the Slow Burn series' are just plain awesome!!!)First, since the author addresses this issue in the Preface: Yes, the book is worth the $0.99 investment. It was money well spent.Next, I thoroughly enjoyed Last Survivors. It took a while to get into the story, but I liked it once I found a rhythm. I think the prequel concept was a really good idea for this storyline, especially for the reasons that the author wrote it -- there was so much left (acceptably and probably intentionally) unexplained concerning "How did we get here?" I have no quals with an author leaving open room for a book to explain "What happened yesterday." That, however, leaves two problems: 1) The book should be retitled to reflect its position as a prequel and 2) The book should have been expanded a little bit further to flesh out a little more of the development of the infected groups and the grouping of surviving non-infecteds. I personally suspect that this was the author's original intent. I think the only way to have resolved this would have been to publish 3-4 diaries from different survivors which all suddenly cut off or complete. (****Spoiler**** as opposed to suggesting that the person simply ran out of paper.****) Now, that combined book of 3-4 diaries would certainly merit a $2.99 price and prepare new readers for $2.99 for Last Survivors.I will admit that I read Red's review ("3.5 rounded up to 4") before writing this because I really did not know what I wanted to say. I agree virtually to a word to his review. There are so many phrases of the day that Dusty uses that it is funny to see which ones he feels needs to be explained and which ones do not. Either explain or don't, or at least choose some consistent litmus test.Regarding the Young-Adult rating: ****Spoiler**** Well, I guess I did know about "running a train" at 13, but perhaps not the inner workings of Swingers couples.**** Do we really want to teach advanced sex-ed in Young Adult books.Finally, we Adair fans are more than willing to purchase such stand-alones we find in compilations, just as a show of support to an author we like, however, I personally would not pay more for any stand-alone than I did for the compilation book which includes the same story Maybe it will go on a limited one/two-day sale for people who have purchased others of his works -- hint!
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. I didn't want it to end. By elfshanx Dusty is probably the most charming post-apocalyptic survivor/possible last man on Earth that I've had the pleasure of reading. He goes from hilarious to thoughtful to nostalgic to dark, just like a real person. I'm not sure where exactly he got me on the hook--maybe around the time he was was postulating that the future person reading his diary was actually a highly evolved bee, maybe when he was advising future Doomsday Preppers to stock up on some porn--whatever it was, I suddenly realized I was way more invested in this than I usually get in short stories. Then he started in with what happened to his family. And reading that kind of hurt like crap. The point I'm getting at is that I like Dusty. I would've read a whole series narrated by him.And the heck of it is, the way Dusty's world ended, with the government and Pharma companies and media personalities denying, fighting, and obfuscating until the whole darn populace was overrun with "Shroomheads" (zombies) was pretty believable. It added a whole other level of interest and relateability to the story.
