The Sulan series is a YA dystopian series. Hacker is a prequel novella introducing the world and characters from the series. Hank works as a hacker. She started out laundering money for Logan, a dangerous criminal. But now she's expected to erase people...wiping out all record of their existence. Hank knows she can't spend the rest of her life working for Logan. He kills people. How can she protect her family, but escape from Logan?

This story is so action-packed and interesting! It kept my attention from start to finish. This is my first experience with Author Camille Picott and the Sulan series. I will definitely be reading more! This story really made me want to know what happens to Hank in the future, and what she does with her amazing computer skills.

I like Hank as a main character. She wants to make sure her parents and little brother are safe. She's willing to do just about anything to make sure they are fed and happy....except work for a murderer. She is definitely an intelligent and strong female character!

I listened to the audio book version of this free novella. The audio is 2.5 hours long and is narrated by Gwendolyn Druyor. Druyor reads at a nice even pace. Her performance is top notch...she really made the action scenes exciting!

There are seven books in the Sulan series. I bought a copy of book one, The League, after finishing this prequel story. Can't wait to read it!

Niles is an extreme long distance runner. He's training for a 100-mile endurance race. Today's workout is 50 miles with a goal time of 11 hours to finish. He's barely halfway finished and behind his time when he notices something strange at the Liberty Glen campground.....

Screams.

Blood.

Zombies.

Niles can't bring himself to actually use the word zombie....but that's what the monsters are. Dead, but animate, former humans with horrific milky white blind eyes. Attacking. Killing.

Niles joins forces with a hunter and his teenage son as they run for the safety of Niles' car on the other side of Lake Sonoma. It's 20 miles....can they outrun the horde of undead? Niles uses his race mindset to help keep them moving. Run the flats and downhill....power walk the uphill....stay ahead of the horde that wants to eat you. Good advice!

Can they outrun the hungry undead?

I love a good zombie story! Camille Picott definitely delivers with this prequel to her Undead Ultra series. I have read a lot of zombie stories in my day....but this is the first time I've read one involving endurance runners. The story is like the Run, Zombies, Run running app on steroids! Fun! Niles uses his running experience to keep himself and two other survivors moving. It isn't just about fitness....it's a mindset, too. And in this case, it's about surviving.

Dawn Patrol is a prequel story to Undead Ultra....a story of two endurance runners trying to outpace the zombie apocalypse and save their son. 200 miles. Can they make it?

After reading this intro story, I'm definitely going to read Undead Ultra! The mix of endurance running and the zombie apocalypse is perfect!

After running 200 miles to find her son at his college during the zombie apocalypse, ultrarunner Kate finds herself holed up in a dorm with her son and other surviving students. Kate is determined to keep these kids alive. They have to learn to survive in a world that will never go back to the way it used to be. There will be no more days wasted playing xbox, living like a couch potato, or counting on fast food or the cafeteria for meals. These kids have to learn to scavenge. They need to be in better physical shape. And, they have to learn survival skills. If anyone can teach them how to survive, it's Kate. But....turns out zombies aren't the only things that are dangerous. Other surivors can be even more deadly than the undead.

Dorm Life is the second book in the Undead Ultra series. I'm always game for a great zombie story....and I love how creative this series is. I have read zombie stories involving college students before....and just about every other scenario possible. But, this is the first time I have read a series about ultrarunners surviving during the apocalypse. There's a lot more than blisters, refueling and muscle fatigue when the undead are out to kill you.

Great addition to this series! I enjoyed every word!

The series really needs to be read in order. This is a continuing saga that starts with Undead Ultra (book 1). After Dorm Life, the story continues with the newly released Undead Ultra: Lost Coast. There is also a prequel story: Dawn Patrol.

Love this series! Always an entertaining read! Can't wait for more from this author!… (más)

Kate, an ultrarunner, is holed up in a former college dorm with a rag tag bunch of former students and soldiers. They are getting in good physical condition, learning to gather supplies, and honing their zombie-killing skills. Things are finally looking up for the group of survivors. But, then they start to notice a change in the zombies. The zoms are forming organized packs headed by alpha zombies. When a huge horde descends on the town, the group struggles to survive. Zombies are bad enough....but huge hordes of zombies led by intelligent alphas? That's bad.....really, really bad.

Lost Coast is the 3rd book in the Undead Ultra series. In this newest story, the survivors face new challenges and some tough choices have to be made. Alpha zombies force them to up their game in order to survive. Not only that, but a long time friend of the group needs their help. When the whole world has disintegrated into constant fear and the constant possibility of death, friendships mean so much more. They have to find a way to help Alvarez.

Another great story in this series! I enjoyed the action, interesting developments for established characters, and some new characters joining the group. Can't wait for the next book!
