“Great story! The present tense used in this book really thrusts the reader into the action, and makes it personal. I couldn’t put it down.”
– Stephen A North, author of DEAD TIDE and DEAD TIDE RISING
“One of the best zombie genre novels I’ve read in a long time … A rip roaring action book … The author has at least a passing knowledge, if not practical, of how the Army works … The author does a fantastic job developing the characters into people that you can empathize with … A must read for any zombie, or PA, enthusiast.”

“A fear-inducing read due to the realistic setting DiLouie created. Fans of apocalyptic-like stories such as 28 DAYS LATER and THE STAND will find a story that satisfies their craving for horror in this novel.”

“Generally, government operatives, National Guardsmen, and soldiers are cast as stone cold, uncompassionate characters … DiLouie attempts to show an oft-neglected side of the men who serve and protect by making them the focal point of the plot by exploring their emotional and psychological struggles … As an otherwise negatively represented character in zombie stories, the military-centric approach gives DiLouie’s story a unique edge …”

“This story is very gritty and gruesome as it is told from the eyes of the soldiers in the front, and pulls no punches as the reader sees the fear, the tension and the all-pervasive feeling of doom … The book is very realistic in its approach to the life of the foot soldier … Check this one if you are a fan of … gritty military zombie fiction.”

“An atmosphere of dread is quickly created as stark images of a virus-ravaged New York City emerge … The action scenes are fantastic as the grunts fight off the infected masses … Dr. Petrova steals the show as she fights her own battles while awaiting rescue … Recommended for zombie and action horror fans.”

“Great shoot-em-up action, gratifyingly clear prose, and very authentic [Army] lingo make for a good zombie novel. Zombie hordes rushing down streets are likened to a great pulsing river of destruction.”

“A grisly grind, and not for the squeamish. This is a merciless curb-stomp of a book.”

“It’s a gritty take on the zombie apocalypse, fought on the streets of New York. The military framework is a natural—where else would you want to be during a zombie war than in the best-funded military on Earth? … DiLouie’s Army is detailed and believable. The reader feels as if she is there with the soldiers, often with grim humor, as they struggle to fulfill their orders amid chaos and panic. I won’t be surprised when I hear this book has been picked up for a movie. It would be a welcome addition to the genre—an inside view of a powerful army faced with defeat from a foe that fights with tooth and nail.”
