SPOILER ALERT:
"Twice Dead" is a story about a crack group of soldiers who are sent to rescue a certain scientist from a government think tank on the east coast. It's the day after the virus turned people into zombies and it is possible that this scientist has a cure to save mankind. Unfortunately, the team never reaches their destination but do stop en route to rescue a group of civilians trapped in a small town overrun with zombies. When it's all over and done, only half of the team and civilians has survived, but the leader insists on completing the original mission. The book ends with the team getting ready to break out of their safe haven and head toward the coast.

The story, short but okay and free - so there was nothing to lose. The book has many typos and extra words that should have been picked up by a proofreader. I was curious about the next book in the series and found that it was only 110 pages in length and priced as a full-length novel. Book 3 remains unwritten and a tentative publishing date not indicated. As a result, I chose not to purchase the next installment and refuse to do so when authors, such as this one, chop up a single story and try to sell several chapters as installments at outrageous prices and then call their work a series. George, you had me but then lost me just as quick.
