Smashwords book reviews by Larry Brasington
- World War of the Dead: A Zombie Military Thriller
on July 12, 2011
World War of the Dead was an exciting read. Story jumps right into the action and rushes to the End of Days. If you're looking for something, quick, fun and compelling. Try WWD.
- Bigfoot War
on Aug. 20, 2011
I enjoyed Bigfoot War. Living in the south I can picture it all happening only to well. I recommend this story for a good read and enjoyable. There are plot twist and turn and frankly I didn't know where Eric Brown was going to end the story. Good kick back read.
- Bigfoot War 2: Dead in the Woods
on Sep. 02, 2011
(no rating)
In book two Eric Brown escalades the war. The conflict spreads to the neighboring states. Plenty of Undeadness, action, and battles. This story kept my interest all the way to the end. A good sequel to the first book. I can recommend it.
