It’s only a duology and not sure the author had any intentions of doing more but Rise Again and its sequel Rise Again: Below Zero are great. Ben Tripp is an accomplished political writer and has a way of humanizing his characters, especially the lead character, that I found refreshing.

I also really enjoyed the first novelization of The Walking Dead by Jay Bonansinga, The Walking Dead: Rise of the Governor but later books suffer from...something. Probably being in the TWD universe?

If you’re into short stories I thought Nights of the Living Dead was an excellent collection. It’s got gore, goof, and gravitas, something for everyone.

I still need to finish Sophie Littlefield’s Aftertime trilogy, but that’s a strong series.
