THE RETREAT #4: ALAMO Coming End of June

by Leave a Comment

THE RETREAT by Craig DiLouie-002Coming the end of June! THE RETREAT, Episode #4: ALAMO, the apocalyptic/zombie thriller series I’m writing with Stephen Knight and Joe McKinney. I’m happy to return to this series as the author of #4; I also wrote #1. The series was inspired by THE ANABASIS.

During the long retreat out of Philadelphia, First Battalion arrives at High Point Special Facility, the Alamo of the U.S. government. Lt. Colonel Lee secures the fort built around the facility but learns of an outbreak in the underground bunker, where the U.S. government is hiding. The President has been infected.

While thousands of laughing infected lay siege to the base, Sergeant Muldoon, Corporal Rawlings, and a platoon of lightfighters go deep into the bowels of the earth on a deadly mission: terminate the President of the United States.

The President is waiting.

Get ready for another action-packed adventure as First Battalion makes its way to Florida through an apocalyptic America overrun with genocidal maniacs.

Audiobook Reviewer Reviews THE RETREAT, Episode #1: PANDEMIC

by Leave a Comment

the retreat 1 audiobook coverAudiobook Reviewer recently reviewed the new audiobook version of THE RETREAT, Episode #1: PANDEMIC, which I authored to launch a series with Stephen Knight and Joe McKinney. Book 4 is coming out at the end of June; we’re just now starting to produce an audiobook version for each book in the series.

Audiobook Reviewer writes, “From the beginning we are dropped into a small military unit in Boston. As they try to defend the city from the Klowns. This is where you can tell that the team of authors are experienced and really good at what they do. Because of the characters. Not cookie cutter, black and white, transparent or shallow at all …. DiLouie, Knight and McKinney were able to pump so much emotion into each and every one of them I could smell the fear they were experiencing.”

He adds, “PANDEMIC is a military action-filled nightmare. With some of the scariest infected that I have come across.”

And finally: “R.C. Bray was the narrator. Really I could just stop there. Bray is a narration master.” I have to agree with that–Bray is the best at what he does.

Thanks for reviewing the first episode of THE RETREAT!

Blue Heron put together a nifty website promoting the series, which I’m authoring with Stephen Knight and Joe McKinney. Featured are links to the eBooks, an audio preview and some creepy sound effects.

Episode 3 of THE RETREAT is now available in Kindle for pre-order on Amazon! This short eBook officially releases November 30. Get it here now.

This popular zombie series, written by myself and the great Stephen Knight and Joe McKinney, tells the story of a lost battalion fighting its way to safety across thousands of miles of an apocalyptic America overrun with homicidal maniacs–the Klowns.

Episode 3, written by Joe McKinney:

The long flight out of Boston.

After weeks of non-stop fighting across an America overrun by fearless, shrieking mad killers, and a daring assault to retake their unit’s home base of Fort Drum, Lt. Colonel Harry Lee and the men of First Battalion, 55th Infantry Regiment have made it to the outskirts of Philadelphia.

The blood of the innocent.

Along the way, they’ve picked up thousands of refugees, innocents in need of protection against impossible odds.

Shelter from the storm.

The City of Brotherly Love is currently under the protection of General Anthony Bell, commander of the famed 56th Stryker Brigade, the Independence Brigade. But in a world gone mad, nothing is as it seems. And when Bell has Lee arrested and put up on charges, it’s up to Lee’s right hand man, Major Chris Walker, to pick up the pieces. Can he snatch Lee from the hangman’s noose, and can he guide his troops, and his civilian charges, through the gathering horde of maniacal killers?

Or will they all die laughing?
