Down the Road

By Bowie V. Ibarra

Book Overview

From his small apartment in Austin, Texas, George Zaragosa watches in awe as surreal reports of a bizarre plague flood the national news. Until today, his life as a local theater teacher was stable and ordinary, if overshadowed by the unsolved murder of his beautiful fianc?e. Now, hearing how those who died from an unstoppable virus are coming back to life in growing numbers, George knows what he has to do: leave everything behind in the city and get home to San Uvalde, just down the road.

It began in New York City, when the dead arose from the hospitals and morgues, attacking the living and pulling them into their growing hordes. State by state, the nation goes into lockdown, whole cities and towns fight for survival, and George must navigate military roadblocks, FEMA camps, and street thugs to make it home. But most of all, his journey down the road will require him to stave off the horrifying creatures hungering for his flesh. . . .

Great read

Awesome zombie book

Not exactly a "novel"..more a short story.

I really had high hopes for this book. I thought that I would love it..yet, the issues are that it's NOT. A novel. More of a 167 page , very large , with perhaps 3 paragraphs story. I think it could have been so much better if the author chose to give the main person, George, more substance rather then a very simple storyline that tends to jump back and forth. Very disappointed , and if someone wants a VERY quick read..then go for it. No fright, no real storyline and..boring.
