Condemn: The Post-Apocalyptic Survival Thriller (BUNKER 12 - a Series from the World of THE FLENSE Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Saul Tanpepper (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 449 ratings
There is no salvation in the Flense.

Three years after the Flense decimates civilization, Finnian Bolles and a dozen survivors flee the security of Bunker Eight and the murderer it protects. Hoping for clues to the plague and a possible cure, they seek the mysterious Bunker Twelve. But when Finn splits away to search for his brother, the group becomes fractured and vulnerable.

Soon, they'll discover that there are monsters far more terrifying in the barren wasteland than Wraiths. Now it's not just their lives on the line, it's their sanity and their souls.

Includes the companion short story, New World Order

BUNKER 12 SERIES DESCRIPTION
Requiring no more than the slightest skin-to-skin contact, the Flense spreads with ruthless speed and stealth, decimating mankind before it's even aware of it. The infected are turned into soulless creatures, Wraiths, which wreak destruction upon anyone and anything in their path.

Secure inside ten isolated bunkers are Humanity's tattered remains, each working tirelessly to unravel the mystery of the scourge. But the bunkers were never meant to protect forever. In fact, they were never meant to protect at all.

THE FLENSE SERIES DESCRIPTION
  1. (BUNKER 12 companion series)

    Hundreds die in a fiery train crash in northern China. A cargo ship smuggling refugees is lost to calm seas off Libya. Entire villages in Ghana are abandoned overnight.

    Contracted by a prepper group to investigate a series of seemingly disconnected global tragedies, a young freelance reporter, Angelique d'Enfantine, uncovers a disturbing pattern: each event is preceded by the sudden spread of a mysterious ailment and is followed by the appearance of a man dressed in black and silver who witnesses claim is the devil himself.

    Each event is more grisly than the last. As the risk to her life grows, Angel begins to doubt that the tragedies are harbingers of an impending biblical catastrophe, but rather practice runs conducted by a fanatical organization bent on global annihilation. Could her sponsors be using her to advance their own paranoid agenda?

    THE FLENSE series consists of 4 titles: China, Iceland, Africa, and Cuba.


From the creator of the highly acclaimed epic cyberpunk series Zpocalypto from the WORLD OF GAMELAND

SERIES DESCRIPTION
Built in the middle of Long Island’s abandoned industrial wasteland is a hundred-square-mile virtual reality arcade where the rich and privileged compete in a high-stakes game and the undead are their real-life avatars. There are only two ways to get into this horrifying yet wildly addictive game. The first is by paid invitation. The second is by volunteering to become an Undead Player.

After finding themselves trapped inside a massive gaming arcade in the middle of Long Island's abandoned wasteland, a group of young computer hackers must figure out how to escape while staying out of the clutches of its undead inhabitants and their living controllers.

Episode One: Hacked Into the Game

A reckless end-of-summer prank sends six hackers trespassing onto abandoned Long Island hoping for a glimpse of the victims of the decade-old outbreak. But if they find breaking was easy, they'll soon learn that getting back out is a killer.

ARE YOU READY FOR THE WORLD OF THE FLENSE?

BUNKER 12 series big banner don't make a sound

WELCOME TO THE BUNKER. THEY SAID IT WOULD KEEP US SAFE. THEY LIED.

It's been three years since young Finn Bolles fled to the safety of B-8, one of ten secret apocalypse bunkers built to survive a humanity-destroying plague known as the Flense. Three years of total isolation from the world. Three years hiding from the terrifying creatures known as Wraiths.

When an uninfected stranger appears at their front door spouting extraordinary claims of a cure, it upsets the delicate order within their safe community. Should they leave their hermetically sealed haven to help the madman find it? What if the place where he claims it exists, a previously unknown 12th bunker, isn't supposed to exist? With Humanity's fate on the line, do they risk an infection worse than death to find and retrieve it?

As disagreement splinters the group and violence breaks out, the terrifying truth begins to emerge about the real cause of the Flense and why it was released into the world in the first place. But there's someone within the bunker desperate to keep those secrets buried, and they'll do whatever it takes to make sure of it.

Even if it means unleashing the Flense against them all.

Thrilling end-of-the-world survival fiction for fans of Ryan Schow, Kyla Stone, T.L. Payne, Grace Hamilton, Harley Tate, Boyd Craven, and Franklin Horton.

CONTAIN - Book 1 of BUNKER 12

17-year-old Finnian Bolles' life is good in the bunker, a lot better than it was before the world ended. He's got a girl and best friend who's loyal to a fault. Sure, things could be better. He could have the rest of his family with him, for example. But all in all, he can't complain.

That's all about to change.

Everything he and his fellow survivors have built over the last three years is about to come crashing down. The world they fled - not the old world, but the one that began with the spread of a deadly plague when Finn was 14 - has arrived on their doorstep. Now, as before, happiness isn't the most important thing in the world, survival is.

Contain is the first book of the thrilling post-apocalyptic survival series from master storyteller Saul Tanpepper. Available in digital and paperback.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Outside the bunker...
    Reviewed in the United States on February 13, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    Finn and a group of his friends and neighbors depart Bunker 12, leaving grief, betrayal, and a murderer behind them. It’s unfortunate that they find more of the same out in a desolate world, one where the worst monsters are the ones that call themselves human. It might be worth the risk eventually, if the rumors they’re pursuing lead to a chance for a better world.

    The pace is fast, and the plot becomes increasingly complex. There are new characters introduced, and existing characters from book one developing further within this story. I like Finn and Bix better in this installment, and I think Eddie’s now my favorite. There’s also a few twists and surprises along the way. I enjoyed it, and I’m waiting for the next one!

    Another action packed book in this series I'm really enjoying this series so far . Know my favorite character's so far are Bix and Eddie Bix because although he may be the joker he also has the ball's to get the job done . And Eddie because despite what he has become he's still a strong father figure to them all and that include the main protagonist . The third would be Johna because at least he's trying to do something good despite what people think of him . As for Finn he needs to grow the hell up he needs to understand that he's not Harper and he never will be this back and forth is starting to grate . And I'm iffy on Bren why would she take the soldiers back to their old bunker I hope that's answered in the next book .

    They're out in the world!

    I must confess; I wasn't expecting as much from the sequel. Part of what worked for me in the first book was the close confines of the first bunker. That was a great setup for the interactions, the fear and tension.

    Thankfully, Saul does it again with the sequel. If anything, some of the tension has been ratcheted up! Once again I felt myself drawn to characters and wanting to know what would happen to them.

    I'm eagerly awaiting the next one.

    Highly recommended.
