Review
Survival horror at almost its very best … Molles and Orbit are certainly onto a winner in a series that deserves to be seen by genre fans be it online or on paper The Book Bag These are my current favorite post-apocalyptic zombie novels! … I love how this series builds fantastic characters and poses them with and against one another in super believable situations. I can believe this future…The action is detailed and vivid Boing Boing Anxiety and building desperation fuel this debut zombie thriller … Sharply targeted sentences depict an acutely human action hero who wrestles his anxiety … Molles’s precise construction gives readers ample reason to return Publishers Weekly A well written, taut adventure novel with characters that definitely make a mark SF Crowsnest

This series keeps getting better and better. I’ve been waiting for book 4 of The Remaining series to come out for months now. I loved the first three so much that I recommended them to everyone, and this one didn’t disappoint. I slammed through this book, reading it all in less than 12 hours. Mollies is amazing with this series and I can’t wait to read what he has in store for the next book.
This one centered a little more on the outlying characters and their missions instead of Lee. I thought that brought a great balance to the book. They all had their fair share of personal struggles. Lee’s story was hard to read. The strong "hero" of the first three books, while still great and able to do what he needs to do to survive, is caught in a string of crappy situations. While I was saddened by the things he faced, it was good to see that Molles took a different approach that other authors have. Usually, you have the guy who doesn’t get hurt and who helps everyone else, but Lee’s situations brought him down to "normal people" level, while other characters stepped up into that "hero" role. It was amazing.
A fantastic addition to The Remaining series. I cannot wait until the 5th book.
‘Cause that’s not what usually happens. So many novel series start off well, and then they start a slow descent into mediocrity. Not so with this series – it is a cracker right from the get go.
I read the first three novels in quick succession – and thoroughly enjoyed them all. Then there was a break. I had been to see the movie World War Z and left that particular movie thinking ‘hmm maybe I am over this whole end of days, zombie thing’. How wrong I was. I saw that Fractured had just been released – curosity got the better of me and I did the whole ‘take a peek’ thing. Truth be told I then reread the last few pages of the third book to refresh my memory. The memories came flooding back.
What you need to know about Fractured. It is great! Yes it has Zombies and they have an important role in the story – but they are not the whole story. I liken it to a tale about surviving in the wilderness – the risk of animal attack is all too real – but they are a back drop to the main story, survival. Fractured is full of real life people – with real life strengths, frailties, reactions and motives. There is action a plenty. Nothing comes easy ( and nor should it) and the struggles and battles seem very real-life. The story is at its very best when it focusses on Lee ( and Deuce or course). Lee is a multifaceted and very likeable main character.
The book is also well edited – a rarity in the world of self published novels.
If you are new to The Remaining series – you are in for a great ride. You may as well buy all four novels at once ’cause I guarantee you won’t stop at one. If you have already read the first three – don’t hesitate – jump into episode four.
My faith in zombie and TEOTWAWKI stories has been restored.
Let me start by saying I love this series, I think it’s an amazing concept. All the characters are real and deep, but I feel this one just got bogged down. I understand the author wanted to really explore the concept of PTSD and the degradation of ones humanity but I feel it was too late in the series to focus one whole book on it. I mean why did every single character have to go through their own self reflection on the loss of who they were? We get it you’re trying to make a point but you cant keep forcing it on us in every scene. For the first time in the series i found myself skipping large sections of pages because it got so repetitive. The series had progressed so well but it just got sidetracked on this concept this time around, and failed to make any real progress. The author seemed to realize this at the end and threw some stuff together to move the story along. I really hope the final book focuses on the wonderful story and world the author has created, I understand he wants to explore some deep topics but save it for a new series don’t ruin this one on overreaching and overcomplicating it. Can’t wait for the next one did not like this one all the others in the series are 5 stars hopefully the finale will be too!
