Merciless: V Plague Book 11

What a great series! The first couple had my eyes rolling a bit because it was a little condescending towards women and I didn't like the term bitches regarding the infected. But, soon got over it and really enjoyed this author's story. So descriptive that I could visualize being right there. I am hoping to find more of his writing and beware, once you start this series, forget about any outside life, because you won't be able to put it down before you have read all of them.

What a fantastic series!!! I felt like I was there every step of the way. The Characters are well developed. Details are sharp and crisp. There is not a boring moment. You had me laughing and crying, at times I was taken by surprised by the outcomes of situations. So invested in the main character that I now feel like I have lost a friend at the end of this book. There is so much action!!! TEOTWAWKI could not of been more realistic ... Chemical warfare is very real .... You have done an AWESOME job!!!

As always, Dirk Patton’s V Plague books keep me reading late into the night. Characters that I love and I can’t wait to see what happens next, zombie action that I haven’t seen before, enemies that never stop. So much action, I wish I could stay awake to finish them all but then I would end up like a zombie myself.

I really really LOVE these books! Seriously addictive...

Book 11 did not end the way I had hoped, but I guess it had to done that way. I'm actually glad the ending was skimmed over like that, not too much about those last hours. But I really did not see that one coming. I actually cried out "No!".
Good thing I wasn't at work when I finished book 11… and, yes, I am one of those people who read during their lunch breaks :-)

Cannot wait until book 12 comes out!!!

Once again, an incredible book from Dirk Patton. This was everything we would expect in the Voodoo Plague series.

I sincerely hope there will be a book 12. Everything I've been reading seems to indicate that this is the last one. It cannot end like this.

And, yeah, Dog rules.

This series is beyond awesome, you know a book is a good read when you read it in a day. Couldn't put it down and was totally blown away by the ending. Love how the book isn't crazy military jargon, I was in the Army and while I like the info sometimes, some authors can go overboard. Mr. Patton understands moderation.

I read all 11 books while under doctors orders to rest. They kept me riveted to !y recliner! My test of a new author is how quickly they make me care about the characters and this guy had me hooked on about 50 pages. Can't wait for book 12. If you like the end of the world genre this series is a must read!

Much better than the last book, I find it surprising that some readers didn't see the end coming, it was obvious from the first book in this series. Not going to give any spoilers, but I was somewhat disappointed. Glad Dog made an appearance.

I love this series! This volume is written with the same level of detail and thought as all the rest. That being said, I absolutely loathe Rachel. She can't or won't come to terms that John is a married man and has behaved this way from day 1. Rachel is a clingy, pitiful character. Because of her, I have almost stopped this series several times but the story is just so good! Despite my aversion to Rachel, this is another great DP read.

This series is so "real"... it feels real and reels you in ?(I know.. that's a bit cheesy but I couldn't resist). It's very well written and I've now read all 14+2 and I decided to come back and write a review to copy and share on all the books...

Amazingly, consistently, throughout the entire series, in every book and on (ok people, he's human so on ALMOST) every page, he's achieved a caliber of balance I honestly can't remember seeing before. He doesn't include so much unnecessary "garble" that you're "skipping and scanning" trying to find the story. He utilizes just enough "descriptive writing" to provide the information your mind needs to "see" what's happening in the scene which allows you to feel as if you're truly experiencing it. . I became so immersed that at times I felt "odd" when I'd go to cook dinner and the water and power flowed freely...

I think the way he's written this, with most of being written in first person, truly "hooks" your mind and pulls you on so that it's almost as if you ARE John. 

One component I'd like to share with other readers is how unlike his writing is from several (almost all) other post-apocalyptic books which include military story lines that I've read. Having grown up on military bases literally around the world, and as the member of a family with generations of Army "grunts", I look for these types of stories.

Unlike many of his counterparts, who have to some degree or another jumbled the differences in the branches or inaccurately portrayed elements such as "the heart" of a serviceman, sometimes minutely and others horribly - and in my opinion disrespectfully and dishonorably. Though in one books instance I was so appalled I stopped reading it and never read the author again. Mr. Patton has gone to great lengths diligently endeavoring to accurately portray all aspects from the correct terminology used by and for each branch to the dialogue being "true military speak" to the capabilities and limits of weaponry and arms and so on. While he openly admits to taking literary license as well as the occasional error, he has actually written forewords providing true historical facts regarding previous military actions which he referenced or weaves into his plot. 

Mr. Patton has done our men and women proud. He has truly captured the "character of the characters". Due to medical disqualifications I didn't have the honor of serving our country but At 6'7" and with 280 lbs of ferocity, grit and heart my daddy served for 20 years.  In multiple countries, including being a trainer for Desert Storm, a Recruiter, an MP  and many other positions I don't know, he completed his career as an E-6, First Class Special Staff Sergeant (I'm fairly certain that's how it's said but I might be mistaken).  

In one book there's a discussion regarding the public saying "thank you" because it's "expected"... almost as if it seems empty to the soldier... I'd like all of you who have served and are reading this to know... You may have just been doing your job, but you CHOSE to do that for me... so from this little girl inside of me who ran across the tarmac trying to keep  her daddy home, then waited in the window "forever" watching the sky, then waited under the awning for him to finally step off the bus, and then stood in the sun for the hours it took until he was released so I could run across the tarmac when my daddy came home.... and who cried with her friends for what our mommies or daddies "left on the field" whether it was their lives or their limbs or their hearts... from the bottom of my heart, with words that are way too small to ever be big enough to hold the weight I mean  them with, which are far from "empty"  and couldn't be more full, I truly THANK YOU for your service and sacrifice.
