Outbreak

 Outbreak, Christopher Cole, Kingston Publishing Co., 2020

First of a series, society as we know it is gone. Cities are in ruins, and the wilderness has taken over. Nothing is more important than survival. As if that wasn't enough, the undead walk the earth.

Sonny Daniels is an average kid, caught, with his parents, in the zombie outbreak in upstate New York. After the first year, the base is no longer safe. Sonny's parents send him, and two orphaned friends, Ashley and Carrie, on a military plane to Fort Denver, Colorado.

After that place becomes no longer safe, the three are on their own in a zombie-filled wasteland. They have to rely on each other, and the few other survivors they meet. Finding a new place to call home would be nice, but hard decisions may to be made in the meantime,

This is a really good novel. The whole zombie genre may be overdone, but the author does a fine job with the story and characters. This is an entertaining tale that will keep the reader interested.
