Convoy 19: A Zombie novel by Mark Reviett starts out with a letter from the current Secretary of Health. In it he tells about the start of the undead and how the government was so wrapped up in themselves that it got out of hand. When the government finally woke up, it was too late. The letter ends with the naming of his successor, Dr. Henry DeMiko. Sargent First Class, Karl Harvey, was in charge of Convoy 19. Each convoy consisted of six Hummers. They lasted until parts ran out or they couldn’t be repaired. Convoy 19 working Hummers began to dwindle as result making rescues of civilians and survivors more and more difficult. Dr. Kelly DeMiko was at one of the DDC locations in San Diego that was still safe. She had injured and terminal patients to take care of but the situation was becoming dangerous. Not only from the overwhelming numbers of the undead but from human elements that also wanted in. Henry DeMiko, doctor, advisor to the military, and the new Secretary of Health and Human services was on board the USS Ronald Regan as advisor to Admiral Nordstrome. The USS Ronald Regan battle group was off the coast of San Diego. The navy flotilla was charged with protecting the mass of private ships and boats that had gathered around them. Mainly from the Mexicans who were raiding the ships and boats. I really liked this version of the walking dead. There was one main story with smaller stories that joined together to make the story one tremendous ride. The main storyline was about Karl Harvey. His Convoy 19 team is whittled away until there are only 3 left. The horror he has seen, the devastation of the city, and the loss of his team mates, all of it eats at his soul. When you start this story you will not want to stop. The audio version is about eight and a half hours. Steven R. Thorn is the narrator and he does a splendid job of it. He brings the characters to life and adds to the telling. A wonderful narrator.
