Was checking my publisher’s site (Necro Publications), and see that the hardcover edition of Last Stand on Zombie Island, possibly the best modern zombie survival story (shameless self-promotion) is sold out.
Don’t worry though! You can still get it as a trade paperback (on sale for $9.95!) and an ebook (for $2.99)
Click the links, click them now
Hahahah.
The gang over at Blood Sweat and Books gave us a four-star review on Last Stand on Zombie Island(Book link here!)
From the review:
The Characters- While the roles of the islanders broke down into what I would call stereotypical pattern the characters themselves were written well and engaging. My favorite character was Spud. While I didn’t necessarily like him I respected the initiative he took after the initial outbreak happened. The rest of the island was quick to dismiss him as being nothing but a young punk but had they taken a moment they would of found a very resourceful individual amongst them.
World Building- I felt the Author did a great job building up the days before the outbreak without bogging down the book with endless chapters chronicling it. I also was satisfied with the overall world building it was easy to picture an Island vs. large city catastrophe. Yes devastation is still bad but you have more choices for Survival since you can isolate the town easier.”
Good stuff the rest of the review here:
Patrick D’Orazio, Author of “Comes the Dark” and other such amazing zombie works, has just posted
an amazingly detailed review of Last Stand on Zombie Island at his blog, “Tomes of
Among other things he says,
“What sets this story apart from most other zombie apocalypse sagas is the depth of technical detail with which the author provides us with in regards to the military and virtually every other aspect of survival and experimentation done by the island dwellers in their efforts to not only to stay alive but to thrive under duress. Most importantly, the author did this without bogging the reader down in the minutia that some writers seem quite fond of when they describe weapons, tactics, and combat scenarios in particular. The author never resorts to providing us with laundry list of weapons or regales us with microscopic details that distract from the human elementof the saga.”
Pat, you are the man.

Keep those cards and letters coming!
Paperback etc
Well as you know, my first novel, a military sci-fi set during the Zombie Apocalypse has come out from Necro Publications this month.
The Reviews have started coming in and they haven’t been that bad:
“Last Stand on Zombie Island was good to the last drop…of flesh and blood, that is! Very captivating and entertaining throughout with interesting, relatable characters that will keep you intrigued. The zombies themselves are more amped and determined that your standard shambling zombie and will have you on the edge of your seat. Two thumbs up, 5 stars, a real page turner! I hope there is a sequel coming!”
“Last Stand on Zombie Island was one of those books that once I started it was hard to put down. Although it started a little slow, once it heated up, it stayed that way until the end. The writer did a great job with vivid descriptions and writing that allowed the reader to feel exactly what the characters were feeling. Since The Walking Dead in on break, I needed a good zombie book to fill the void. This certainly did with believable characters and I even tensed up while reading some of the scenes. Looking forward to the next book! “
“The book is fairly technically well written, which allows the reader to suspend scepticism and enter the scenario uncritically. Although it is obviously pure fantasy, for the purposes of the story, the script holds together with tangible and credible logic. To some extent at least the reader can wonder what it would be like to be confronted by hordes of undead attacking and fouling everything and everybody insight, on a godforsaken island from which there seems to be no escape.
The novel has potential to be worked up into a psychological thriller of great depth. I hope there is a sequel so readers find out what happened to the characters. Thanks for a fast paced, action packed read! “
