    Author Stuart Smith

    I enjoyed the first book in this series, but this second book was even better. Everything is so fast-moving you don’t get time to catch your breath. Ruthless bad guys who just keep getting more evil and make the zombies the least of your worries. The thought of the great European horde, though, just fills you with fear. Where will it go??? I can’t wait for the next installment to find out what happens next.Sanctuary at Sea on AmazonListen on YouTube
