You Can't Kill the Dead!
When the Zombie Apocalypse came, one country had shut down its borders in response to a major terrorist attack. Now Fortress Britain is the last bastion of the living.
And one international team of supremely elite special operators are humanity's last best hope for survival. Supremely trained and armed, always the most skilled, resolved, and unstoppable amongst us, now the commandos of Alpha team are tasked with one last desperate operation.
They must cross the Atlantic aboard the world's only remaining supercarrier and insert by air into the very middle of a dead continent, all in search of a rumored vaccine that might bring humanity back from the brink. But their op goes dangerously wrong from the start, with their team scattered to hell and back, and their target site a dry hole. Now they must fight their way on foot through a city of 3 million ravening dead guys, in search of an underground bunker that might hold the Last Man on Earth. But these undead will not be like any Zulus they have ever fought before - and they surround their new target in a writhing ring of death 30 feet high on all sides...

Don't start reading these books unless you have two things, a love of non-stop action, and time. Sure some might look at this series and say "Zombies, WTF?". But let me tell you this series is fantastic!
14 books of pure adrenaline rush plus more. Above is the second instalment which I have just finished reading.
Fuchs and James have got everything. An island fortress, tier one operators, the last known surviving supercarrier, a mission which seems beyond all realms of possibility, and the DEAD. Millions of them.
The first eight were written by Fuchs and James but nine onwards were taken over by just Fuchs himself under the publishing name of "Complete & Total Asskicking Books" which describes them perfectly.
For those who like their stories to be over in one instalment don't expect that here, cliffhangers abound in such a way that it makes you want to keep going on to the next book. I know some people don't like this and consider it a gimmick to keep customers buying more books.

They are well written with great dialogue, the pages splattered with zombie goo, the operators are like super heroes on steroids, and of course not everyone makes it home. Lets face it, if you want to save the world, people are going to die.
Readers call the ARISEN series: "A hundred mile an hour thrill ride" ... "breathtaking - absolutely fantastic action" ... "the most exhilarating military zombie series there is" ... "Amazing and heart-wrenching at the same time - the characters feel like family" ... "Perhaps the best in this genre on the planet... and I've read most. You would be hard pressed to find a more thrilling ride" ... "Beyond good - pure action, beginning to end" ... "the fastest, scariest, most spine-tingling, adrenaline-pumping roller-coaster ride of a lifetime" ... "Truly incredible storyweaving" ... "Hands down THE BEST zombie series, nay, dare I say BOOK series, I have ever read" ... "You feel like the explosions are going off beside your head" ... "you never know what the hell is coming at you next" ... "Every time I think it cannot get any better, BAM!" ... "the excitement and intricacy blew my mind" ... "Wild ride. Buy your ticket."
Then there are whispers that there are negotiations going on for television series/movies rights. I for one hope that this comes to fruition because I'll be there munching on the popcorn enjoying the thrill ride that is -- Arisen!
