A very interesting trilogy

The scourge of the dead:
General Frank Sherman, Lieutenant Colonel Anna Demilio and some other players will attend and participate in the collapse of the world as we know it due to the discovery and spread of the virus Morningstar, last known zombie virus on the African continent Juqu ' obviously in the USA.

This book is a mix between, I cite only what I know, World War Z and The Chronicles of Armageddon. We have the right to effect a comprehensive and global view of the spread of the virus, as in the book of Brooks, with the classical frame of the threat underestimated, prevention being sacrificed on the economic altar, the attempt (failed obviously) military to contain the threat. And a second shorter section of road movie with a team of competent deserters.
The zombies or carriers are of two kinds: moving (living and fast) and trailing (dead and slow), a mix of what is usually done.
The story is credible, clear and incisive style, the military side pretty well restored. It is more primary than World War Z and more closer in style Chronic of Armageddon, and we have a first volume without downtime through many chapters restoring the gradation of events: Smoke, sparks, flames, fire , fire, conflagration, holocaust, and ash fallout.

Apart from the episode NSA whose epilogue is not credible for two pennies and a little too frequent use of the term foupoudav (damn rotten in advance for non-fans of Ryan), the author us Book a first good nervous opus, which devours a few too short hours and inevitably calls for the reading of the second volume.

Monitoring ashes of the dead:
General Frank Sherman and his team found the one hand, and on the other side Lt Colonel Anna Demilio in their journey to the laboratory of Omaha, their eldorado, with a view to developing a possible vaccine, the Holy Grail.
From improbable meetings in friendly or hostile encounters, they strike a chord suddenly 9mm calibres and other mortals.

The situation was well posed in Volume 1. This second volume there is also regularly referred to, which can be a plus, but slightly annoying if one connects the reading of two volumes.
It will also address very quickly the place of women and possible changes (sex slave), an inglorious episode for the human species, but an almost obligatory passage in this post-apocalyptic world where all deadly impulses and instincts of men are exacerbated.
The action is omnipresent and the regular passage of a survivor group to another prevents fatigue and the feeling of violence overdose. Because of violence there, but its treatment is light and you're not disgusted or horrified by our reading. You turn the pages frantically to know what happened.

And finally: Survivors:
Third and final book in the series (three-volume trilogy becomes increasingly rare in the world of publishing). it should be noted that the original author died and the book was done by a friend.

The team of Ana the virologist and General Sherman arrived at the lab to Omaha and began his search.
Haris team captain, arrives with Stiles, limmunisé, the savior of humanity.
But was not counting on the agent Sawyer, the villain of the two previous volumes, which, it is learned here is part of the group of states meeting of America, led by the State Council President Staff, a separatist group opposed to the group "ex-Democratic" led by the President of the United States.

Rest assured, no conspiracies behind the scenes, no procrastination highly political or philosophical. A third component in the two previous lineage. A little soft, perhaps, the issues are known, there is no surprise. The scenario is a foregone conclusion, final push reunion, reunion, villains camp attack and deus ex machina of the good guys who comes to save more or less in extremis all our little band.
Missing here a little fervor given to the story by the two teams in road movie the previous two volumes and I found it a bit messy.

This remains a good page-turner in a credible zombie universe that has the merit of ending history ..
