This one is badass!! Super Mario Brothers in zombie land. XD For places like New York, with such dense population, zombie outbreak is 99% deadly. At the same time, it is easy to find weapons and supplies. Your art work is very nice too. I notice that since the Mountain Man. Did you create them?

We always gave mercy to dudes like Calvin and showed them respect despite just turning a key. Plus you're setting them up to meet John and his girl to be Morgan lol I gotta ask, if you were Mason... what car was that he was all into??

I really love the NYC stories, but this one did not do much for me. While we do have plenty of bad ass men in NYC, these two guys were a little too much video game/action hero characters. These two brothers have seen the world crash down around them, but they are not serious, frightened, or even bummed out. Their attitude is pure video game "hey, Bro, let's go out and bash us some zombies, yeah!!" More like a couple of adolescent boys, than two grown men who know the consequences of mistake or a wrong move in this new world. What I liked about the Dead America was the basic idea of ordinary people suddenly finding themselves as extras in a zombie movie. About people looking around and realizing just how badly equipped they are to survive with the fall of civilization. Especially people who live in cities. Most of people who are workers in cities are experienced in making a living using technology inside a complicated society. Without that society, if you are not a cop, or a soldier or a rancher or a farmer, you have dammed few skills to keep you alive. And realizing that is terrifying. These two guys are big beefy men, trained in martial arts, with a garage and the expertise with tools to craft many weapons. This comes across a little too much like those zombie novels where the hero just happens to be an ex army ranger or navel seal, and just happens to have a large gun collection in his house, a house that is reinforced against attack and has a sixth month supply of food laid in. As a woman especially, I would be afraid to go with these guys. Considering their behavior, I would figure they were actually crazy, or hopped up on drugs. If they were either or both, they could do a whole lot of ugly things to her and she could do exactly nothing to stop them. There are so many many possibilities for stories of people in the first hours of the zombie plague. How about a store clerk, a subway worker, someone working in the great 5th ave. Library, someone just getting up for work that morning, people in a Broadway theater, someone just getting off the night shift, people working in the media or a tv station? Not to mention firemen, or EMT's, emergency room doctors.. Although those last would likely be tradgic stories,as cops, firemen, EMT"s , etc would all be among the very first to die in the zombie plague.

@DerekSlatonHorrorAuthor

Yeah I know I went a little over the top with these two, but that was intentional. Most of the guys like this in the zombie world would have met a grisly end, but every now and then they get lucky despite themselves.

I think you need to address the issue of blood and body fluid transmission-Shouldn’t Hudson and Mason fear that? I would’ve thought men like them prepping for hand to hand fights with the infected-Ought to wear face shields, or at least goggles and masks. Maybe even some kinda gloves.

You'll have to forgive me as I'm roughly three million words into this series, so sometimes the memory of what I've written is a little hazy, but I'm pretty sure this was addressed in an earlier main series book during one of the Presidential briefings. However it might be good to bring it up again at some point.

I've been a fan on the Dead America series for a long time, back when there were real narrators. I understand that this AI shit is cost effective but ,to me, it has become nails on a chalk board.

Are there other stories with these characters in it cause the story here ends with them on the ferry?!?
