All roads end here

All roads end here

David Moody, 1970-

Book - 2019

It's taken Matthew Dunne almost three months to get home. Never more than a few meters from the Haters at any time, every single step has been fraught with danger. But he's made it. In his absence, his home city has become a sprawling, walled-off refugee camp. But the camp-and the entire world beyond its borders-is balanced on a knife-edge. During his time in the wilderness, Matt developed a skill which is in high demand: the ability to anticipate and predict Hater behavior. It's these skills that will thrust him into a web of subterfuge and danger. As the pressure mounts inside the camp, he finds himself under scrutiny from all sides. He's always done his best to avoid trouble, but sometimes it can't be helped. The... shit's about to hit the fan, and this time Matt's right at the epicenter. All Roads End Here is a fast-paced, and wonderfully dark story about humanity's fight for survival in the face of the impending apocalypse.

Review by Booklist Review

Matthew Dunne has finally made it home. It took him three months to get back to his town, his beloved girlfriend, and his house, the journey shown in One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning (2017). Traveling through Hater-occupied territory was not easy and it changed him. In a town with a wall around it and an army to protect it, Matthew should feel safe and happy, but he can't quiet the survival part of his brain. Prior to his ordeal, his strategy for survival was to watch what others did and do the opposite. When his girlfriend and her housemates are threatened, the complacency around him finally pushes him to act with the army to try to save them. Fans of zombie fiction and the horror genre will enjoy Moody's world and his take on raw, all-consuming hatred destroying humanity. Readers will root for Matthew and hope for his success in the terrifying new world.--Emily Whitmore Copyright 2019 Booklist

Review by Publisher's Weekly Review

Moody's suspenseful second Final War horror novel (after One of Us Will Be Dead by Morning), continuing the second series set in the bleak and anger-filled Hater world, is a gripping take on the zombie apocalypse. Many humans have inexplicably turned into Haters, creatures fueled by an unrelenting need to kill. Matthew Dunne has been away from home for three months, battling Haters to get back to his unnamed British city. His girlfriend is understandably surprised when he shows up at the door to their house, and as he learns the new rules of his tightly controlled city, the safer and happier life he had hoped for falls apart. Matt is a typical action hero, trying to protect his woman and prove he is smarter than everyone around him. As more information about the Haters is revealed, Matt's need to learn more drives the plot forward. Some scenes feel rushed, especially after long sections of Matt surviving by waiting and staying still. Fans of zombie thrillers will not be disappointed. Agent: Scott Miller, Trident Media Group.
