John Chase has just arrived in Atlanta on a routine business trip when America is savagely attacked with both nuclear and biochemical weapons. He is immediately thrown into an apocalyptic horror, rescuing a young woman from a group of survivors who are in a violent rage as a result of the release of a devastating neurotoxin. His path is clear. Survive and fight his way across the continent to reunite with his wife as society disintegrates into savagery and millions of people become raging infected, roaming unchecked in their pursuit of the rapidly dwindling number of survivors. But survival will be the hardest task he has ever undertaken.

So begins Unleashed, the first installment in the thrilling V Plague series. The novels are set against the backdrop of a shattered, post-apocalyptic America and tell the stories of a steadily growing cast of complex characters and their battles to survive. There are numerous sub-plots of greed, brutality, betrayal, treason, heartbreak and even a serial killer woven throughout the progression of the main storyline, chronicling the best and the worst of humanity as the world crumbles. With a main character that is the Jack Reacher of the apocalypse, this is a series that has been hailed by readers and critics alike: “A richly textured post-apocalyptic world has been created that draws you in, grabs you by the throat and shakes you like a rag doll. Wow! I’ve read so many series that peak by the second or third book, giving up on them when the author starts recycling events and storylines. Not here! I’ve read all the books and am impatiently waiting for the next, and it just keeps getting better! New characters, new subplots, new dangers, new victories, new settings. Each book is fresh, continuing the best story I’ve read in years. I hope the series never ends!” “I wasn’t, and I’m still not a zombie fan, but this series blew me away! You want zombies, you’ve got the infected. But these are all too real and possible. No mumbo-jumbo ridiculous explanation (or lack thereof) for re-animated corpses walking around to be found here. Bravo, Mr. Patton! You scare the hell out of me and keep me flipping through the pages because I can’t put your books down.” “A devastating, completely believable end of the world as we know it scenario? Check! The guilty pleasure of the apocalypse? Check! Well written, intricately plotted with a surprise at every turn? Check! Enough action to make Chuck Norris and Rambo beg for a vacation? Check!” “A giant breath of fresh air in a tired genre” “What The Walking Dead should be. Cancel TWD and start filming this tomorrow!” “Wonderful characters that are real. Some you love, some you hate and some you loathe” "Two tours in Iraq and one in A-stan and I've met a lot of operators. This is the most realistic, true to life depiction of a bad-ass special forces operator I've ever read. They aren't supermen or ninjas, they're human just like everyone else, only much more determined. Best books and best characters I've come across in years. Oorah!" “An all too believable scenario for the end of the world” “A beautifully written, tightly woven tale of determination to survive against all odds” “Perfectly crafted action scenes, creeping gooseflesh suspense and sudden, laugh out loud one-liners to keep you turning pages” “Look up adrenaline in the dictionary and most likely you’ll see a picture of one of these books” “Absolute genius! What a brilliantly done series. Read all the books in a week. Who needs to go to work?”

This book is a tense and gripping ride. I'm actually reading the second one of the serie and it is really hard to stop reading when there is no pause to the action. Thumbs up to the author!

This entire series is an absolute must read! Hooked from cover to cover. I read this entire series to date in less than a week because I couldn't put it down!

A real page turner! I agree with another reviewer--it's right up there with the Arisen series, but without so much military jargon. Lots of action, likeable characters (Dog is a great addition), and some humour--very important. Can't wait to start book 2!

Definitely a page turner. This series grabs you from the start so you don’t want to put it down. A must read in the apocalyptic genre.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on April 20, 2019

Mr. Dirk Patton does such an amazing job at portraying the emotions and panic one would feel with finding himself away from his family when they need each other the most. So much glorious fast paced action and great character development. Thank you Dirk for a great series!

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on September 4, 2014

If you love post apocalypse infected chasing wild ones and survival good guy with Delta force experience...then this book is for you. One of the best novels of this genre. Right up there with the Arizen series.

This is a whole lot of damn good Zombie Apocalypse

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 26, 2017

I had the pleasure of listening to the audiobook of this with the ultra awesome Jeffrey Kafer as the narrator. He owns the character John Chase brilliantly and reminded me so much of fellow narrator ,Ray Porter's own character Joe Ledger from Jonathan Maberry's superb series.
John Chase is bad-ass without doubt. But the character also has wit, and a more human side than a lot of Rambo type, apocalyptic killing machines.
Dirk Patton in my opinion simply knows the magical formula for a fantastic ZA story. I've read so many ZA books, and started even more. I think i know what makes a fine story.
Joe Mckinney's Dead City series came to my mind when reading Voodoo Plague. There's no pitiful cap on profanity, and humans react exactly how you would expect them to react with the world dying on its arse. The story is brutal, and the pace utterly relentless. There's no religious overtones giving survivors some divine reasoning for their continued existence.
It's hard, fast and so much damn fun.
Straight onto book 2.
My only concern is that i cannot find audio versions of the series beyond book 2. That would be a terrible injustice on what i feel is one of the best ZA books i've ever read.

I downloaded this because of the description and due to it being free.
Since owning my kindle fire hd I've hardly read any books ( kinda developed an obsession with game apps!!! )But I couldn't find a game to play so decided to try a book again and I am so VERY VERY glad I did, this grips you from the VERY beginning and you grow to luv the characters even the dog!! The storyline is absolutely brilliant and definitely not your usual zombie same old same old hack n slash !
As I said I've not read a huge amount of books since receiving my kindle for Xmas which is the reason I wanted one,and the ones that I have read I've never wanted to leave a review so thanks Dirk Patton for restoring my love for reading and for No2 all ready for me to lose myself in,
To everyone else DON'T MISS OUT ON A TRULY UNIQUE,GREAT AND AMAZING BOOK THAT LEAVES YOU WANTING MORE X

Horrifyingly possible scenario.

Wow! Best 'Infected' book I ever read. Some graphic attacks were so worrying that I had to put the Kindle away and come back later as I couldn't bear the suspense. Totally believable with some of the "good ole' boy rednecks" beer swilling and toting guns an even worse threat. America under neuclear attack with nerve agents causing immediate transition of most people into hugely aggressive psychopaths. A former Delta Force master sergeant survives and sets off to try and locate his wife saving a fiesty girl and dog on the way. Can the USA come back from this? Are there enough normal humans left? Is there still a government or army to direct survivors? What will happen to the millions of ravenging Infected? I just downloaded book II and can't wait to find out!

Throughly enjoyed this. Great action sequences and any book that has a German Shepherd in always gets my vote. But i like the honour of the lead character especially rescuing Dog and then Rachel. Nice change to see a man and a woman actually have a friendship. And i am so stealing the best phrase in the book to use next time "what a bag of dicks" just downloaded book 2. Thank you Mr Patton for a great Christmas read
