    This touched my heart in way's no one will ever know. Been down sick with the RSV since December 8 was in ICU for a few weeks and then another couple of weeks in hospital haven't listened to anything for a while. Tonight I finally decided to check out the new series. Thank you so much for this wonderful story.

    Englishman here I'm absolutely loving this audiobook, if it happened here in Blighty we wouldn't last 5 minutes as 0.04% have firearms and those of us who had handguns had to hand them over after a madman went and shot kids in a school back in 1998! You are not even allowed any knife over 3 inches apart from kitchen knives! So we would be Zombie meat. Keep up the good work👍👍

      yeah but you guys DO have some historical castles placed in such a way that you wouldnt have to deal with hordes coming from all angles as well i'm sure they're historical museums that contain long polearms. yall also have the advantage of much MUCH less heavily dense populated areas. lack of guns while true would be a serious problem castles theoretically wouldnt take much to get up and functional, get their forges burning and chumming out spear heads and arrow heads.

      @grievernoctis2238 10 місяців тому

      Oh sweet! So we are going to see things from their side of things? I mean technically the milita isn't the "bad guys" they are just working against the characters we know and love. Humanizing them will really make this a lot harder to discern than the enemies in El Paso!
      Looking forward to it! Thanks for all the hard work dude!

    • @DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor
      @DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor  10 місяців тому +2

      Yeah, I'm going to be giving a sampling of what life was like for one of the militia groups, skipping around over the first month. And they're very much humanized. They were coming off as faceless enemies in this series, and that's not what I intended them to be. I didn't want the issue to be black and white, because there's a whole lot of gray. If I do it right, it's going to be hard to tell who are the good guys and who are the bad guys, or if anybody is good or bad. At least that's my hope

      It does, but in much more limited quantities. Plus they're in the PNW, where the milita groups have banded together and who had a month head start on the military in terms of resource gathering.
      Add in the military expending most of their ammo getting through Spokane and Seattle, and their fuel situation being dire (so they just can't fly more in from other parts of the country) amd you have an ammo shortage

    I'm not really a fan of the human v human aspect of a zombie apocalypse as the titular zombies take a back seat to the chaos, i think thats why i really like the early days of the apocalypse, sure we get the "laMOEs" (Last Man On Earth) but once it desolves into Human Vs Human i really lose interest 😓 but i guess thats just my personal opinion, I'm really hoping we get a book for the ISS or even a submarine one.
    So far i really like the Tales from the frontline series, those are great & the series as whole is great too!

      I do try to mix it up to keep things realistic, because there would be human v human violence in a real apocalypse. Once I wrap up the first month soldier series (have a few more of those stories) I have one that I'm plotting out that is set in NYC, which is 100% human vs zombie (and covers the first couple of months of the outbreak)

      Just wishful thinking I guess.

      And to your point about humanity banding together, one of the characters in this series brings this point up to one of the humans they're facing off against.
