When the dead rise, he'll either find his family or end up a ravenous corpse…

Fifteen-year-old James would much rather hang with friends than go hunting with his survivalist dad. But the boring weekend trip turns into a living horror when they're attacked by an undead horde. Terrified and confused, James has no choice but to escape with his trusty dog through a forest stained with blood…

Teaming up with his best friend, James frantically fights his way back to his missing family. But on a trail of clues littered with corpses, reaching his loved ones means venturing deeper into the deadly unknown…

Can James reunite with his family before he's consumed by a relentless pack of zombies?

Fallout is the first book in a gritty post-apocalyptic series. If you like spine-crawling suspense, ruthless zombies, and rugged survival stories, then you'll love Derek Shupert's dark coming-of-age tale.

"Dead State: Fallout has plenty of action from the first page that drew me in and kept me hooked right up until the end. Once I picked it up I couldn't put it down. Dead State: Fallout is one book that I would love to see on the big screen. I could see it playing out in my head like a movie it was so vividly written. Dead State: Fallout is a must read!" - The Avid Reader
"Walking Dead? Eat your heart out - literally lol YA zombie fun you must read!!" - Sassy Brit, Alternative Read

I would give it more than five stars if I could!

This was such a great book! If I could give it more than five stars I would. I loved the plot and how action packed and hard hitting the events could be. I don’t scare easily, but I have to admit I freaked myself out while reading this at night. I can’t wait to read book two and see where the author takes James and Duke next. I would recommend this to older teens and adults.

Dead State: Fallout is the first book in a new post-apocalyptic survival thriller series.

Gripping story

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2019

Verified Purchase

I liked the story and the characters. It starts off differently than many zombie stories so I was drawn to that. I'm a little conflicted on how the 15 year old hero handles some situations. I'm not sure he would have been quite so callous.

That doesn't detract too much from the story and I do want to read the rest of series too see how things turn out. I deducted a star due to less than stellar editing. There are a few too many misused words, apostrophes that shouldn't be there and grammatical mistakes for my liking. In my opinion it doesn't kill the story but it does detract from what could be an excellent story.

I’ve read lots of post apocalyptic books where the hero’s are men or women and how the challenge of survival molds them into something more. The longer they survive the bigger in life they seem to become. But what happens when you’re a kid. A scared kid who had a dad that raised you well but you still are a kid in an adult world. Survival changes, you change but it’s not easy. Read what happens to James and see how lucky he is to have duke his dog with him when it all hits the fan.

I did not fully read the book description and thought this was another series I was reading. I am glad I made the mistake. Great book, I really enjoyed the way it was written. I will be buying the rest of them

A very quick, entertaining read but...

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2020

Author Derek Shupert was kind enough to gift me the Audible UK version. I had previously purchased the E-Reader version and read it. This review covers both. The cover art and summary are excellent. They're designed to draw readers in and they do a good job of it. As an avid reader it had me excited to dive in.

I prefer more mature reads with salty language and adult action and themes so I may be a bit bias because of that. This book is very appropriate for the young adult crowd and definately reads like it. B.C. Archer does a fair job of narrating but comes off as somewhat robotic. I think it's a combination of how the book is written and his lack of inflections. Archer's narration is very articulate and clear but lacks certain tones, inflections, and pauses in parts of the story that need it. There also appears to be a lack professional editing throughout the book. The errors interrupt the flow of the book. There's a mix of grammatical, punctuation, and word usage problems. These are distracting. For those who are a bit OCD-ish, like me, you may have a difficult time getting through the book. There are a lot phrases and words that are repeated throughout the story as well. For instance; I don't need to know how often James' dog or a chaser has bad breath or "groans".

The story line and overall idea is a good one but is overly simple and linear without much character development. The main character is plopped directly into a ZA with little science or back story. James, a 15 yo boy, seems to deal very well with the world suddenly and literally ending around him. He gets over losing loved ones fairly easy as well. Maybe the violent video games and movies have desensitized him? We won't really know. I would have liked to get to know the characters better but there's little info about them. There's no side stories, relationship dynamics, love interests, or interpersonal conflicts. This creates a story that goes zero to sixty in 3.3 seconds and then it's done. It also makes the characters forgettable. The pro to this con is that it makes for a quick, entertaining read if that's what you're looking for. Like watching a John Wick movie, you come for the crazy, mindless, action packed entertainment not necessarily for the cerebral challenge. If you're the kind of reader that thrives on having your imagination engaged and your intellect challenged this is probably not the book for you.

To sum it up: I was entertained (which makes it worth the purchase) but my imagination wasn't particularly engaged. I was somewhat dissapointed with the lack of character development. The lack of proper editing was a distraction. I am recommending buying the paperback or e-reader version because having some control over narrating it yourself with the appropriate pauses and inflections will make the story better. I don't recommend the audible version. I look forward to the next book simply for the entertainment factor.

Enjoyed - Great for Young Adults

Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2020

This is story is written from the point of view of a young inexperienced teenager so there are not alot of details to bog the story down. It's about people who've turned onto vicious chasers (flesd eating zombies). I highly recommend this book for young readers; there isn't alot of descriptive violence or blood/guts stuff.

Quick post apocalyptic read. I love these types of books. The relationship between James and Duke is priceless. James goes from being a happy go lucky teen to a ma. In a short time. I cannot wait for the next book to come out. If you like Mark Tufo you will like this book.

A Fast Zomb-Apoc Read

Reviewed in the United States on April 24, 2019

If you're into this genre, you'll likely burn through this book pretty quickly. I enjoyed the inclusion of Duke (a dog companion). This had a very Fallout 4 (the game) feel for me -- and that worked. I'll snag the next copy of this series when it drops.

A fun apocalyptic treat

Reviewed in Canada on November 4, 2019

Verified Purchase

For the most part the book is standard zombie fare, but the author writes with such enthusiasm and joy for the genre that you can't help but have fun along the way. The characters are fun and interesting, and I feel a genuine connection to our protagonist.

My only qualm is that I wish there was more to stand this out from all the other zombie survival stories. Curious to see if that happens in the later installments. I have a strange feeling that the author has left some breadcrumps in this book, so I feel this book's worth is going to triple when I discover those connections later in the series.

This story scratches the survival story itch. It's adventurous, real, and overall a solid read. The writing stays on the safe side, and sometimes leaves a bit to be desired for description, but overall the style pushes the pace and I am thankful for that.

Can't wait to start book 2.

A boy against a world of flesh eating, fast moving zombies

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 20, 2019

This story is told through the eyes of a young teenage boy. A day out hunting with his father turns into a terrifying nightmare. Trying to make his way to the family's holiday cabin where he hopes to find his mother and his little sister, he finds himself in a horrifying nightmare world. Teeming up with his buddy from school they start off on a frightening journey where nowhere is safe, the "chasers" (zombies) are fast, and hungry for just one thing....your flesh, and they are everywhere. The few people they come across can't always be trusted, as they bitterly discover.
I enjoyed the book and can definitely recommend it.
