They weren’t heroes. They were everyday people.

Gunny, truck driver and former veteran, is minding his own business over a cup of coffee at the Three Flags Truck Stop when all hell breaks loose.

Trapped inside the building with dwindling supplies and surrounded by the undead, he and his fellow survivors have a choice to make: Stay and die or leave and probably die. With two thousand miles between them and the nearest safe zone, they know their chances of making it are slim.

If you’re looking for a hair-raising thrill ride through hell itself, then look no further. Full of blood, guts, and carnage, this post-apocalyptic series will keep you on edge until the very end. Buckle up, it’s going to get bloody.

I second Jules Carlson's review, this book is very well written, especially for a first effort. I found the plot well rounded and intriguing, with an edge-of-seat quality. I look forward to his second book and hopefully more to come. I have put him on my "favorite authors list".

Love it. I'm not a zombie fan.. but now I'm converted. This is a great book. So very interesting and it really sucks you in. I've ordered the next 2 books and will be continuing on with this series. The trucker characters are so likeable and well developed. You can really feel for these people because the story is that good. I highly recommend this book to anyone that loves zombie movies or books... or give it a try if you don't usually read this type of story, it really is an excellent book... I'm ordering more 😊

4.0 out of 5 stars An engaging Read
Reviewed in the United States on October 12, 2017

I found 'Zombie Road: A Convoy of Carnage' to be an engaging read with plenty of likeable characters. Book 1 is actually three stories in one. The main act follows a group of truckers, et al, at a truck stop in Reno, NV. There, the occupants learn about the viral breakout and see it develop first hand. They are quick to set up their defenses and protect one another. The owner and his wife keep everyone in line and ensure they work for their food and lodging. Gunny, the trucker protagonist, is anxious to get back on the road so he can join up with his wife and son.

The sub plots follow Gunny's wife, Lacy, in a high-rise in Atlanta and her fellow workers as they try to survive, and his son, Jessie, as he does the same with those other students locked in detention with him.

Ham operators join up and provide status updates of their particular city / country, and then finally hook-up with a US general in an underground bunker at Norad. The world is in a bad way because all the nuclear reactors will soon have a meltdown and contaminate the planet with radiation. However, those who are eventually blamed for releasing this virus are also expected to band together and stop all the meltdowns, so this is something the truckers and others shouldn't have to worry about. When I got to that part of the story, I watched as the plot headed way out into left field for plausibility. Foul Ball? Won't know for sure until I read the next installment.

The truckers do a fantastic job modifying their trucks - a la Mad Max - and begin slicing and dicing the zombies en route to their destinations which is a unique way of killing the infected. Oh, I also forgot to mention that these zombies are superfied and can run almost 20 mph, never fatigue, are stronger than ever, and never give up.

The groups first seemingly routine rescue mission of a fellow truckers' family is far from routine and almost gets everybody killed. I enjoyed Zombie Road and can recommend it to others within the genre who want a change from the norm.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great start to a great series
Reviewed in the United States on October 22, 2019

This book is the start of a great story and believe me when I tell you that if you have just found this author and are looking at his work and are thinking of buying, just take it from me go ahead and purchase this book and then all the rest of the series and read them back to back. You'll have fun and get involved with the characters. You'll meet Jessie, just a regular high school student who is thrown into something he never imagined in his wildest dreams could happen. You'll met his Father and Mother and other characters who you will come to think of as family. Jessie and his family have to survive and they do. First book just gets it started and it's a very good thing that David Simpson writes fast for you will want to know the rest of the story. Something like this really could happen. I don't mean Zombies but just a virus like E-coli or any one of the other terrible diseases caused by viruses. All it would take is some crazy group who think it would get them what they want, destruction of their enemies and then it gets out of control and an extinction event happens. If this is your kind of story and if you like Zombies and the story of how humans fight them and survive, then this first book and the other books in the series is for you. I firmly believe you will not be sorry you purchased this series.

5.0 out of 5 stars 2nd Time!
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2022

I read this series, which was only the first two books at the time, and LOVED THEM!! It’s been several years, at least, and I’ve read many apocalypse books, many with zombies, but most left me frustrated or bored. Either the story was poorly done or the editing was so bad I could hardly read it and some I simply quit part way through. (Made me wish I could be a proof reader for them. English major.)
I always remembered this book, tho, and when I came across it again and saw more books had been added to the first two, I didn’t even have to think about it, I just dove in to the first book again! And even though I didn’t forget what it was about, I wasn’t bored for a second!
The writing is so enjoyable, very few editing problems and only a couple of typos. I LOVE THIS WRITER! Please, keep writing! Love the characters in this story, as well! They jump off the page and seem real. That takes more than you think! So many authors have one dimensional characters that bore me to tears. But not Mr. Simpson! I feel like I would know these people if I met them on the street.
If you like zombie apocalypse books, try these. You’ll compare everything else to them ever after. And it’s worth it!!

Such a great story, the end of the world has come & at a truck rest stop are some ex service men who's training keep those there safe.
How did the zombies happen? Will help come? Are their families safe? All these questions & more are going through their heads.
This book is full of tension, humour & great characters.
A new author for me but I'm definitely going to follow him for more great books.

The past tense of drag is dragged, not drug. There was a hell of a lot of drugging, which was intensely annoying! Hopefully less “drug” in subsequent books, fingers crossed! Grizzly and grisly are not the same thing, ditto for ordinance and ordnance. The phrase is free rein, not free reign. Writer mentions his wife being a grammar Nazi in the dedication, so I guess these notes are for the missus. I’m a bit worried about the direction this will take in subsequent books, based on the reviews. I’ll try one more, tx
