These are the stories of some of those men and women that fought back.

Will there be another Dead War Series book?

Hey all, George Cook here.

After the ending of The Dead War Series Book Three: War I have been asked whether the series will continue.

The answer is yes. Yes there will be another Dead War Series book. There are still many battles against the dead and the "others" ( don't want to give away spoilers to anyone who has not read the trilogy ) to be fought. There are still stories to be told about the Peacemaker Platoon and their war with the "others".

I have been busy running for re-election for my board of education seat. I'm proud to say that On Nov 5 2013 I was re-elected for another three years and now I can get back to my writing. The story is all laid out it's just a matter of my lazy ass getting to work. I have already started a prequel and another series of short stories. So just bare with me and in a few months time there will be more of The Dead War Series than you can handle.

Thanks to all of you that have supported the Dead War Series I really appreciate it.

5 Star Review For The Dead War Trilogy

5 Star Review The Dead War Trilogy:

 Finished Business, June 25, 2013

By JWG & The Bright Seed

I love This book. It's a very exciting, not for the faint of heart, mid 21st century, hi drama, bloody adventure thrill ride that brings a fresh twist to the zombie/vampire genre. You have to have a real love for writing to come up with this. I look forward to the next in the series.....

Why are there vampires in The Dead War Series?

A question that is always asked of me is why did vampires show up in The Dead War Series Book Two: Abomination? Until that point the series had been a straight zombie series. What gives? The answer is very simple , well sort of.

The Dead War was never supposed to be a trilogy. Hell the first book was only supposed to be a stand alone story. As a matter of fact it wasn't even called The Dead War it was titled Scout: Survive The Night. It actually ended after Sgt. Richards reached The Rock and with his handing over of the vital information he carried to General Holloway. Some of who actually brought that book may have noticed that at one time Sgt. Richards wasn't even named that he was Sgt. Richardson.

After the book sold more copies than I ever expected I decided to write another and to make it at least a trilogy. In my mind this meant having to better explain the cause of the dead walking and adding to the first book. Scout: Survive The Night became The Dead War Series Book One. A prologue was added to explain how the Beserker Virus was released and the book ended with the first battle of The Rock.

Now in planning out the next two books I found myself running into a problem. How would I explain the actions of Duncan and Mitchell in the prologue of book one. I didn't think anyone would really release a virus that would wipe out mankind just for money and wanted a better reason than that. I also did not want to go the full blown conspiracy route that would have involved creating an entire mythology for The Dead War world that maybe I couldn't keep track of.

I damned sure didn't want to go the well worn ( and tired ) route of the evil corporation such as Umbrella Corporation, Weyland Industries, or OmniCorp so I had to think of someone or something with a reason to release the virus.

After some thought I came up with the idea of vampires releasing the virus in an attempt to "thin the herd" and weaken mankind before an all out assault would be unleashed. This made since to me because humans would most certainly outnumber vampires and any attempt to just attack outright would most certainly fail.

So there you have it. That's why vampires appear in The Dead War Trilogy.

5 Star Review For The Dead War Trilogy On Amazon

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Dead War Trilogy (The Dead War Series) (Kindle Edition)

I really liked this book series. It was filled with plenty of action and zombies, the introduction of vampires was a hell of a twist. The characters were believable and I could see the event's within the book actually happening. The development of a special special forces group was cool. Let alone the survival of the world depended on a little girl and her genetics. I will recommend this book to everyone...

I don't often fight zombies but when I do...

New Dead War Trilogy Cover

Here is the new cover for my book The Dead War Trilogy! Thanks to all of those who gave input on the cover and the book's title. It made a lot of sense that I should not use both series and trilogy in the title.
