In Edin, when you turn eighteen, you have to do national service.

Six-months outside the city's walls, fighting the diseased hordes.

Only half the recruits survive.

Spike refuses to be just another statistic.

Beyond These Walls is a post-apocalyptic epic. Join Spike, Matilda, and their friends as they leave their city for the first time to face the brutal reality of national service. Some of them won’t return, and for those who do, their lives will never be the same again.

Good fast read. Can't wait to read more about the world and find out what happens. It's feels more dystopian then post apocalypse, but it's still enjoyable.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to a sequel
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2018

I liked that this dystopian future story focused a lot on how individuals and a society would respond to the aftermath of a zombie infested world. Especially how while the zombies, called the diseased, were part of the story, dealing with them want most of the story. Instead it focused on how a cities society has been changed to survive and grow despite the constant threat. It really is a good read though personally I found the end more a partial completion of the a story Arc. It wrapped up at a decent spot but I wished the story was longer. I tried this book because I received a free advanced review copy. I liked it enough that I bought it to get a fully edited copy and share my support of this story. I look forward to the sequel.

I like the storyline but man this moves slow I don't know what to do The characters are interesting and I like them But sometimes it seems to repeat itself like how many times do we need to know what kind of clothes they're wearing in one scene Also I'm kind of getting tired of the main antagonist

This book moves through a coming of age for 2 young people in a town that is bleak that exists in a world that is worse. Something seems to be not quite right but no one will talk about it, if they know. A spin on the typical zombie and dystopian book with a large dose of mystery and coming of age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic series like his others

I think this author writes for me. I have read all of his post apocalyptic novels and have yet to not fully enjoy any of them.
The characters, whether good or evil, are simply well developed and have a depth that they feel alive. I get fully immersed in the characters and storylines. My only gripe is that the individual stories are too short. I realize that an author must make a living which means more pages. If I had to choose between paying more for longer books or getting shorter novels more frequently, I choose the latter..

5.0 out of 5 stars A heart warming dystopian romance.
Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2018

I don’t want to give any spoilers away beyond the authors blurb. This is a young forbidden romance set in a difficult society. There is action and to some degree adventure in the story. I really liked the characters Spike and Matilda. They were what I call down home level headed. There are good guys and bad guys in this. The bad guys are basically bullies. This is a dystopian novel and I don’t think real young children would understand most of what is going on in the story. Unfortunately I have to wait for the next edition to come out. This is not a standalone book but does not end on a cliffhanger ending. I included this so you don’t think you have to buy the whole series but you will want to in my opinion.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was very different from a lot of zombie/apocalypse reads and doesn't start out in a normal world just about to go haywire! I like the established city and it's weird rules. The characters are believable and it's refreshing not to have them all gooey and in love and adoring each other unconditionally. I like where the book is going and can't wait for the next one

5.0 out of 5 stars An Original and Incredible Series Starter!
Reviewed in Spain on September 14, 2018

“So much is forbidden, I wonder if these walls keep them out or us in.”
At first, I thought this was another post apocalyptic zombie, Wow! Was I wonderfully surprised!
The story building hooked me from the beginning, plot unraveling smoothly, with all the emotional byplay known to humans, the arrogance of teens, the life within the walls, the outside wall unknown to the citizens, the strange and harsh laws, the purpose behind the Protectors, the intrigue and mystery the government is hiding... a truly engaging and engrossing book, difficult to put down! Such is the realism with the characters and their lives, this story draws you in and holds your attention as you want to know what the final outcome will be. Not one of your typical post apocalyptic plot. The result is one of the best stories in this genre that I've yet come across. I definitely recommend this starter of a great, original and outstanding series.
I am voluntarily giving a review of an advance copy I received from the author.

Couldn’t imagine living in a society like this or putting children through such a harrowing experience. Can’t wait for the next instalment because I think it’s going to be even better than the first book.
