Voyage of the Dead is the first book of the Sovereign Spirit Saga detailing the adventures of several groups of survivors of the Zombie Apocalypse. Most of them are aboard a ship that is well equipped to survive the end of civilization, while others struggle to survive in a world suddenly overrun by undead cannibals. This is a science fiction adventure set within a horror genre, full of blood, guts, violence and the human emotions that fuel our survival instincts. While some scenes include graphic violence, it is intended to be more exciting than disgusting and more about using your brains than eating them. Enjoy the ride!
Book length is 100,000 words. This is the edited and revised edition. The sequels, "Flotilla of the Dead" and "Deluge of the Dead" are also available on Amazon.
Rave Reviews for Voyage of the Dead:
“…Without a doubt one of the better Zombie books…" -- Anthony Wessel, reviewer at The Kindle Book Review and founder of DigitalBookToday.com
"What a truly entertaining read. I started reading on Friday morning and couldn't put the book down until I finished. Not just your everyday, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum story of the apocalypse." -- Paul Jones, author of "Extinction Point" and "Towards Yesterday"
"Gorey, pulpy, zombie fun! Basically it's the A-Team meets Battlestar Galactica meets The Walking Dead. If this were a show I'd watch it." -- Nathan Yocum, author of "The Zona"
"This is one of those books that starts with a bang and I read waiting for the pace to slacken, except it doesn't. Too often, books of this kind start out with an action scene, and then we get chapters of backfill and descriptions of the soap opera-like travails of our characters. While Forsyth indeed fills in the characterizations, the key quality of this book is that most valuable in any kind of thriller--PACING." John S.
“The Walking Dead meets Battlestar Gallactica! This novel has all the ingredients for an epic series of books and would be great for television too. It's like a Star Trek of the Zombie Apocalypse...” Tom McWilliams
“A zombie lover’s wet dream! [It’s] very tense, visceral, and a joy to read.” Joseph Rosenthal.
“It is really a zombie joy ride, full of mess and macho and mayhem…. My first thought is that it would make a good screenplay…it is very visual….” Dennis R.
Author's Note (4/3/12): WARNING: Don't read this book if you can't handle two pages making the current President look incompetent. I assure you that, if I had written this book four years ago, it would have made that president look incompetent too. I can't imagine writing this book with a President was able to "handle" it. This is a horrific action-adventure. It's not about politics. It's about survival, personal survival, when the "system" collapses. If you can handle that, go for it!
This is the first novel by David P. Forsyth. "Flotilla of the Dead" is also available on Kindle and another book in the Sovereign Spirit Saga will be released later this year.
