Metal and Ash (Apex Trilogy) [Kindle Edition]

Jake Bible (Author)

Book Description

What began in the wasteland of DEAD MECH, continued alongside in Europe and Asia in The Americans, now has its epic conclusion in Metal and Ash!

Commander James Capreze and his team of mech pilots no longer must battle just zombies, cannibals, religious cults and the ever dreaded dead mechs. Now they will be put to the test by the forces of the Three as the evil alliance bent on dominating every inch of the world attacks from two fronts, forcing Capreze to split his forces and make alliances with those he had been sworn to defeat. The wasteland becomes the setting for an epic fight for basic human survival like it hasn’t seen in hundreds of years.
Will fifty foot battle mechs be enough against hundreds of thousands of techno-zombies ready to wipe everything living off the scorched map that is the wasteland?

Join Capreze, his mech pilots, the refugee Americans, end every denizen of the wasteland as they make one final stand to keep the Three from bringing humanity’s downfall. Alliances are formed and broken, mech pilots are made and murdered, secrets are revealed and agendas destroyed, and thousands of bodies fall and rise again in the Apex Trilogy finale: Metal and Ash!

Includes free excerpt from the new YA zombie novel, Little Dead Man!

The final book in the trilogy was worth the wait! It is a roller coaster from start to finish with twists, turns and a couple punches to the jaw along the way! If you've read or listened to Dead Mech or the Americans, this book ties it all together and is a must read! Way to go Jake!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tidy finish to a great trilogy October 31, 2012

I will admit i am hooked by this author's capability. He ties up the story with a strong finish. I will note though that no character is sacred and in this zombie wasteland anyone, and i do mean ANYONE can die. The book has an extremely fast paced feel to it, with the amount of raw action in it though there is no real surprise at this. Definitely a value, and I can't wait for a paperback/hardback release.

Metal and Ash is a nonstop, action packed, hold onto your seats cause it's gonna get bumpy, conclusion to the Dead Mech trilogy. The survivors from both book 1 (Dead Mech) and book 2 (The Americans) come together to fight for the survival of the human race. The finale takes the Americans to the Wasteland and well, heck I really don't want to get too into what happens because it is all over the place...in a good way. Suffice it to say the story progresses and wraps up nicely. There is much action and violence and lots of fun and entertaining dialogue, which is one of my favorite things about Jake Bible's writing. The conversations between his characters are fantastic and quite often full of hilarity.

I will warn of one thing, there are a lot of characters to keep track of, especially if it's been a while between reading Dead Mech and getting to Metal and Ash. I had to go back and refresh my memory on who a few of the characters were and how they connected. I will give the author props, however, because while there are a lot of characters, Bible does a very good job keeping them "organized".

Assessment, the Dead Mech Trilogy, as a whole, is a must read for all who enjoy zombie, mechs, survival, violence and all the other things that go along with that world. Metal and Ash is the fantastic conclusion of the trilogy and makes the journey definitely worth your time.

I've been a fan of Jake Bible for a few years and this is one of his best works to date. Plenty of action and enough zombie killing to fill an arena. I always told every body to keep an eye on those Canadians...

4.0 out of 5 stars love this trilogy April 11, 2013

Jake Bible is one fun writer! I've purchased all three of his Apex trilogy books, and they are a great read! I give book 3 4 stars instead of 5 because it does seem like he rushed to finish it and left some some ideas unfinished. However, I HIGHLY recommend this as a fun airport read, or guilty pleasure sci-fi zombie horror book. It was really good times, and I am looking forward to reading more of Jake Bibles stuff!

Jake Bible continues to surprise me by taking this story in directions that are impossible to see coming. From Dead Mech through the Americans to Metal and Ash Jake develops one of a kind ideas and excellent characters that you both love and hate. That combination kept me locked onto the kindle until I finished the book the first time through and inspired me to start all over again almost immediately. I consider Jake Bible to be one of the best upcoming authors around.
