📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A six-book zombie survival collection by Derek Slaton covering El Paso, Miami, Portland, and Mississippi.

This volume compiles the fourth through sixth parts of the El Paso storyline alongside standalone entries set in Miami, Portland, and Mississippi.

Survivors confront multiple layers of danger, including organized criminal groups like the Cartel and hostile undead hordes. Key figures such as a former football player and characters named Zion and Calvin play pivotal roles in their respective segments. The Mississippi section highlights the difficulty of maintaining supply lines during a crisis. Slaton uses these varied settings to show how different communities respond to the same catastrophic event, creating a mosaic of survival efforts across the country.

📝 Description: Dead America The Third Week Part One - 6 Book Collection

Derek Slaton’s Dead America The Third Week Part One gathers the first six installments of his zombie survival series into a single volume. Published by VGA in 2020, this collection follows the Texas Zombie Virus as it spreads across the United States, forcing survivors to fight both the undead and human threats. Slaton structures the narrative through distinct geographic locations, moving from the initial outbreak in El Paso to subsequent crises in other regions. The book includes El Paso Parts Four, Five, and Six, which detail the local survivors' struggle against zombies and the Cartel. It then shifts to Miami, where a former football player executes a dangerous escape. The narrative continues in Portland with Zion and Calvin arriving to provide aid, before concluding with the Mississippi Caravan segment, where a group attempts to deliver essential goods to an isolated community. This compilation offers a continuous thread of action and desperation. Readers who enjoy fast-paced post-apocalyptic fiction will find this collection engaging. It suits those interested in character-driven survival stories set against a backdrop of societal collapse. However, it may not appeal to readers seeking literary prose or slow-burn psychological horror, as the focus remains on immediate physical threats and plot progression. The ISBN for this edition is 9781945294600.

Horror Reads editorial team
Horror desk
Slaton effectively utilizes a multi-location structure to demonstrate the widespread impact of the Texas Zombie Virus, avoiding the stagnation often found in single-setting apocalyptic tales. The compilation succeeds by balancing the immediate threat of the undead with human antagonists like organized criminal groups, adding layers of tension to each segment. While the prose serves the plot rather than standing as literary art, the pacing remains relentless and engaging. This volume is best suited for readers who enjoy character-driven survival stories set against societal collapse, particularly those who appreciate seeing how different regions handle the same catastrophic event through distinct cultural lenses.

📖 Why choose it

📖

Why this book is worth reading

Readers seeking immediate, high-octane action will find this collection highly rewarding. It appeals to those interested in how distinct communities respond to catastrophic events, offering a mosaic of survival efforts rather than a single protagonist's journey. The narrative’s strength lies in its geographic variety, moving from the Texas border to Miami and Portland, which allows for varied threats including Cartel violence and hostile undead hordes. It is ideal for fans of fast-paced post-apocalyptic fiction who prioritize plot progression and physical danger over literary prose or psychological depth.
