Once in Atlanta, they find the city swarming with walkers. The group frantically flees from a large herd of undead until they hear a voice calling them to an apartment building.

Richard Fox is the winner of the 2017 Dragon Award for Best Military Science Fiction or Fantasy novel. He's best known for The Ember War Saga, a military science fiction and space opera series. I enjoyed this story, but the first part felt independent from the rest, almost as if they were separate books: a prequel and a sequel. The story was engaging though the addition of so many insignificant characters made it feel confusing. I was a bit let down by such a major plot line (*spoiler: helicopter escape) wasn't even mentioned again or brought to a conclusion. I'll read the second book because I want to see if all the above are resolved there.

I seriously can’t get enough of Lynda la Plante right now! I’m listening to them on audible so I get to enjoy not just the story but the performances too.

Thomas Elyot was born before 1490 and died in 1546. He was the son of Sir Richard Elyot and Alice Fynderne. His father was a prominent lawyer, so Thomas received a quality education. Both Cambridge and Oxford claim him as an alumnus, but there is no sufficient evidence either way. He studied mostly liberal arts and philosophy, but also some medicine. In 1510 he married Margaret Aborough. In 1530 he was knighted. In 1531, he was made ambassador to the Emperor, Charles V. In 1538 he published the first Latin-English dictionary. As a writer, he is clear, precise, measured, and practically monotonous. His major works include: [3]

The Governor: My Life Inside Britain’s Most Notorious Prisons

One thing, and I have thought hard about mentioning it, that I found odd was she had a time of PTSD after reading about a prisoners crime, it being so horrific it played on her mind so much, now I wont mention the crime but without warning she did, yes after reading a few words I and any other reader could then skim over the rest ( which I did ) but obviously I had already got the jist of the crime, it seemed odd to me that her reading about it had given her PTSD yet there it was being relayed to the reader who then could also suffer from reading it, hope that makes sense?, I am not a one for trigger warnings or being over sensitive but in this case maybe one was needed before these few paragraphs This is very good, probably a 5 star, but.... with reservations. The author writes well but... a couple of things have left a bad taste in my mouth. "Wealthy Jews" and "addicts made their choice". Sometimes society's prejudices are so ingrained that although the book has obviously had an editor with an eye to the present woke agenda, they just aren't noticed. Or they don't matter because certain kinds of prejudice are absolutely acceptable. For 'Walking Dead' Creator, It Takes a Novel To Explain What Spawned 'the Governor' ". The New York Times.

A NEW MILITARY SCIENCE FICTION SERIES FROM NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR AND CREATOR OF THE HONOR HARRINGTON SERIES DAVID WEBER AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR RICHARD FOX It all ended with a whimper tbh after her award from the Queen and I felt quite sorry for her the way she was treated after her allegiance to the service for almost 3 decades but she does seem happier now and working as a cake maker in a cafe in EssexThe Governor is arrogant, self-opinionated, selfish and overall obnoxious. I have started work in a few companies in my life and if I had gone in with her approach, I would have failed. Respect is earned, not handed out because of your job title. Frake writes honestly about her time in the prison service; she doesn't sugarcoat any of it, going into detail about the behaviour of prisoners - and some staff, how the dog team are used, the BOSS chair, the amazing things prisoners and visitors insert into body cavities (& how *much*! 😳), escapees, other ingenious ways of getting drugs and other contraband into the Scrubs, and celebrity prisoners like Pete Doherty (Frake is not a fan! 😁). This was something completely different to what I expected, but in a good way. It was quite refreshing seeing the prison life from the inside, whether this is close to the reality or not. So far, my favourite from Lynda La Plante.
