Sequel to Hissers

When a plane crashed in the quaint town of Castor, it unleashed a virus that turned everyone into hissing, blood-thirsty, undead monsters. Monsters that could transmit their plague in seconds, that could run as fast as dogs, and that could fuse themselves together to create massive mutated beasts. Four teens—Connor, Seth, Amanita, and Nicole—fought for their lives to secure vital data from the plane wreckage, some of them making the ultimate sacrifice.

Now they need to get to San Diego with their secret, but the plague is spreading too fast. They have no friends or family, nowhere to hide, and death lurks behind every corner. Worse, the hissers are evolving, and it may be impossible to stop them at all.

DEATH MARCH by Ryan C. Thomas is the sequel to HISSERS. Connor and Am have grown as characters, while maintaining the personable traits only 14 yr olds are capable of, such as Connor's gaming references and Am's penchant for f-bombs.

The addition of adults Doug and Olive is a wise move by the author, adding depth to their unusual relationships by comparison and contrast of the generational gaps between characters. The difference in musical tastes is a clever touch as well, particularly when Doug and Am sing together during one of the most intense scenes in the novel.

Thomas manages to include quite the menagerie of monsters: mutant zombies, undead leviathans and a few others I won't give away. Some action scenes explode on the pages, while others slowly creep up when you're not expecting anything major to happen. The survivors' desperation to find some place to rest, during their insane quest to keep a promise to a friend, will leave readers breathless with terror.

As always,
