Series is among the better of zombie tales. Journey tales divides among three groups. Has the same basic themes, but written very well and with characters you can believe and like. Narrator is excellent. Can’t wait for the next.

Awesome

The overall story is enjoyable. A man of god causing problems? Really? Every zombie story has that. Could have picked someone else for that role and it wouldn’t have been as predictable. The marines weren’t at normandy. Not in any numbers or unit size. Accuracy is important.

Good but mistakes were made

But I quit. Each book is the same. It is taking too long for Randy and Brenda to reunite with their children.

As with Merritt's other early work, ATC Z2 has the spark of what is yet to come as his writing skills improve. This one continues to follow the lives and survival of the great characters introduced in Z1. The story and protagonists are interesting and intriguing. The zombies are well thought out and frightful. A couple continue their race south to rescue their children, a boy scout tries to survive alone, and a shrinking church group try to protect each other and the children with them - while the zombie threat grows.

Unfortunately, it is difficult to retain suspension of disbelief because the writing itself is so distracting. A decent editor, or a second read through by the author (at his current skill level), would do wonders for this series. There are so many extra words, out of place colloquialisms, and general grammar problems that it becomes distracting. In one chapter, it seems Merritt wanted to see how many times he could include the word "ambulance". Its as if he wrote one sentence a day but, each day, forgot that he had already told the reader the protagonist was in an ambulance and needed to turn the ambulance to the left, and then turn the ambulance to the right, and then hit the brakes of the ambulance, while he sat in the driver's seat of the ambulance, etc, etc.

Mike Thomas does an excellent job with narrating the Audible edition. His voice has the right tone and inflection for the material and he made, even the hard to read parts, almost palatable.

I don't think I'll go on with this series, it is so distracting. I think I'll skip ahead to some of Merritt's later work where I know his skills are well applied. He has become an excellent writer and story teller. It's just not there yet in this series.
