Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne

and

Day by Day Armagedon: Out of Exile J.L. Bourne

Both really good reads I can't wait for the third installment.

After reading World War Z my brother gave me another zombie story called Day By Day Armageddon

I had to put it down halfway through, absolutely incredulous that this thing could ever be published. Its like a sixth graders fiction project, thats how its written, and maybe its supposed to be badly written because its like a journal but its so bad its not even interesting

It sounds like the Day by Day Armageddon series, the second book ends with the protagonist being dragooned into attacking China.

Books

  • Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks. A great read that will forever fuel zombie conversations in the future.
  • World War Z by Max Brooks. A well done recount of the zombie war that nearly wiped humans off the planet.
  • Day By Day Armageddon by J. L. Bourne. A compelling diary-style account from the beginning of a zombie apocalypse.
  • Beyond Exile by J. L. Bourne. A sequel that picks up right where Day By Day left off.
  • The Zombie Combat Manual by Roger Ma. Meh. Just a cash-in on Max Brooks' great work with the survival guide.
  • U.S. Army Zombie Combat Skills by 'Dept. of the Army'. Lame. About as fun to read as a roll of toilet paper.

You've already read two of the better ones.

Try Brian Keene - The Rising and City of the Dead. - a different take on zombies but you may like it

Joe Mckinney - Dead City

J.L. Bourne - Day by Day Armegeddon - it's self published, but it's not bad

Jeff Long - Year Zero - sort of zombies, plus it's really good

This one has some cool short stories - The book of the Dead

And I haven't read this one yet so I can't recommend it:

Z. A. Recht - Plague of the Dead

You want a military science fiction? Here you go! :3

Day by Day Armageddon by JL Bourne. Journal style writing about a Naval Pilot surviving the zombie apocalypse.

If he enjoys comedy books then you should definitely go with Lamb, the Gospel According to Biff by Christopher Moore.

Else, Ender's Game and The Dresden Files were already mentioned. If he likes zombies go with Day by Day Armageddon. Try out Storm of Iron if he likes Warhammer 40k or in general awesome fantasy warfare in the distance and wicked future.

My ultimate vote goes to The Dresden Files. Harry Dresden is an awesome character.

u/Ilsensine · 2 pointsr/zombies

Day by Day is the best hands down.
I also really like the First book in The Stain trilogy.

Used to be online in a kind of "blog" or journal format, but since been made into books (haven't really had a chance to read the sequels). If I had to guess, the author is either ex military or did a ton of research because he seems to know a lot about small arms and flying planes. Very detailed and methodical approach to surviving a zombie apocalypse. Loved every second of it!

u/bryanpv · 2 pointsr/zombies

Day by Day Armageddon is a pretty interesting story that is done in the style of a journal. It's not a masterpiece by any standards but it's pretty decent for what it is. Except the 3rd one. That one is not good.

u/spikey666 · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

My favorite zombie book is-Day by Day Armageddon by J. L. Bourne

and, of course, the films of George Romero. Night of the Living Dead, which can be seen for free online now. legally! and the best- Dawn of the Dead. and finally Day of the Dead.

u/Khafji · 2 pointsr/AskReddit

Day By Day Armageddon.

Nothing like some post-apocalyptic zombie survival. No really, it's actually a quite entertaining read.

u/tombibim · 2 pointsr/zombies

World War Z was good, but I found Day by Day Armageddon (and its sequel) and Ex-Heroes to draw me in a bit more. I don't read very often at all, but I could not put down those last two books.

I liked Day by Day because it was somewhat of a first person, diary type book. The second was pretty good too.

Ex-Heroes was good because it was a bit different. It revolved around super heroes trying to deal with the zombie apocalypse and protecting the last of the normal people. Of course, not all super heroes are immune to the zombie disease. A new one called Ex-Patriots just came out, which I'm going to start soon.

DBDA is one of the best zombie anythings, ever. I loved the series!

u/Baronvonyiffington · 1 pointr/AskReddit

Day by Day Armageddon by J. L. Bourne. Absolute must read if you're a zombie fan.

u/Intrik · 1 pointr/zombies

favorite zombie books so far have been Day by Day Armageddon by J.L. Bourne and Plague of the Dead by Z.A. Recht. Adding in this album by The Gorillaz just adds on to the mood of the book.

Also being from SE Texas and driving most of the roads talked about in Day by Day Armageddon makes the book a little extra unnerving.

u/Javaman74 · 1 pointr/books

If you're into zombie books, try this series. It has zombies, action, and an easy to read style.


edit: Oh yeah, and for action, the Joe Ledger series is not bad. It starts here.


edit 2: AND, for another series with good action and pretty fun, check out Sandman Slim.

Also read Day by Day Armageddon by JL Bourne. Diary format, slow Zombies...

u/Empty_Jester · 1 pointr/booksuggestions

I think the best book that breaks down the nitty gritty details of surviving a zombie apocalypse is Day by Day Armageddon.

It's written as the journal of an retired veteran of the most recent gulf wars. He already lives a bit off the grid, so he's better able to survive than most when the crisis hits. His pragmatic approach to everything is what keeps him alive, through all of his choices of where to go, where to get supplies, and what shelters to seek. He also meets and helps other survivors on his way, some of whom choose to shelter and travel through different methods, so you are exposed to other people's survival choices as well.

The journal format it is presented in is perfectly done. Despite all events having already occurred when a journal entry is written, it still makes for incredible tension at various points.

The only complaint I've heard against this book is that some people feel that the main character is too prepared, or too perfectly fit to the challenge of surviving the zombie apocalypse. My response to this is that if the character wasn't "prepared" and capable in the same manner, they would die early on and the story would be over. We are reading THIS story because out of all the people that tried to survive, THIS character has the skills and supplies that has allowed them to stay alive. His preparedness is well within a reasonable level of suspension of disbelief. But to each their own.

Anyways, if you try it, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have!

Day by Day Armageddon series And of course Hunger Games.

u/bostrows · 1 pointr/books

The first two books of J.L. Bourne's Day by Day Armageddon series are fantastic. Basically an ex-military guy who keeps a journal detailing the fall of humanity following a zombie outbreak.
