The Dead Years Volume 9 by Jeff Olah

Add to Goodreads
Title: The Dead Years Volume 9
Author: Jeff Olah
Genre: Horror
Length: 83 pages
Published: 2014
Publisher: Independent
Brief Synopsis: (Taken from Goodreads) Volume 9 of The Dead Years starts unlike any of the previous eight. We see the infection through a different set of eyes and meet two new characters.

Megan and her younger brother Sean are left to fend for themselves against the ravenous onslaught of the initial infection no one saw coming."Jeff Olah has done the zombie genre well. He should be writing for 'The Walking Dead' series. It could use his story line which I think is much better."

With little more than a few duffel bags full of supplies and two hand drawn maps, they leave home in search of salvation and a single act of kindness turns their world into a living nightmare.

Can the Human Race survive? The importance these siblings have to the continuation of civilization will come at a time when all hope appears lost.

My Review:
I give this book a 5 out of 5.

At just over 80 pages, naturally this was a very quick read. This installment in The Dead Years serial was pretty good. It starts out following two siblings on the first day of the infection as they find out what is happening and receive a mysterious phone call from their father - who they haven't seen more than twice in the last year. 

We follow them for some time, before Olah finally adds in scenes involving Mason and the other survivors from Volumes 1-8. At this point, it was pretty clear to me that Megan and Sean were headed to Blackmore via the hand-drawn map their father sent them. A great addition to the series, I can't wait to read Volume 10 next month.

You can purchase The Dead Years Volume 9 through Amazon in Kindle format.
