New Species Emerges

It has been a long and trying journey for Jack, Maria and Zaun. They’ve fought numerous battles, seen friends die and the dead reanimate.Jack has been mortally wounded and an old enemy is back in play. It will take the combined efforts of all three to defeat him, and those that survive will have to push onward and venture forth into uncharted depths as a new enemy is born and the undead evolve.

MACHINES OF THE DEAD 3 by David Bernstein begins at the exact moment book two ended. Cable is hunting Jack, Zaun and Maria, and the three friends just want to find Jack's sister. The bots are adapting and evolving, and the undead are no longer the single-minded flesh eaters they used to be.

The action is great, especially the hand-to-hand combat scenes. I am satisfied with the ending...to a point: I think Maria needs her own book. I really want to know what she finds in North Carolina. After everything she went through to help Jack, it doesn't seem fair to leave her storyline unresolved. I would also enjoy seeing some battle scenes between the survivors and The Wild Ones.

If Bernstein doesn't have time for a novella, I would settle for a short story.

As always,
