Day by Day Armageddon sucks you in from page one. It's told in a journal format which makes for some pretty fast reading. An un-named U.S. Naval officer is the narrator.

It seems there is an unknown virus that has outbroken in China, and he keeps watching the news wondering with mixed emotions. Soon, the virus spreads across the globe, and the government urges everyone to stay in their homes and be quiet.

Their immediate findings show that the bite from one of these zombies quickly takes effect, within the hour turning you into one too. The world as we know it is over and now it's a game of survival.

The narrator has bunked down in his house but sees a light one evening across the street. He is scared, but also wants to help if there is a human out there. His name is John, and the two of them eventually becomes friends and work together to stay alive. They've found they can't stay immobile for long. To stay alive, they must keep moving. The area around there house has at least three hundred zombies, and to beat it all, the First Lady has just made an announcement on AM radio that has them stunned.

Before the President died of the disease, he signed an order to detonate nuclear warheads to all major cities in the hope it would eliminate the enemy. One of the major cities is where he and John are and they move quickly.

This story is amazing! When life is at it's lowest, we see humanity. We share their elation at triumph or their fear. Parts are just disgusting, but can expect no less from a zombie novel. However, as great as this novel is, it ends in an edge of your seat cliffhanger!! Fortunate for me, there's a sequel being written, but patience is a virtue. The author is currently serving in Iraq.
