Bones: The Complete Apocalypse Saga
by Mark Wheaton
Synopsis
When mankind is visited by Three Great Apocalypses, the only thing standing in their way is a feckless but loyal, easily distracted yet occasionally ferocious German shepherd named Bones, a one-time cadaver dog with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Police. This is his amazing story.
In Bones, our hero must battle a plague of dangerous parasites that brings the dead back to life with the goal of destroying the planet. Shepherd finds Bones delivered to earthquake-devastated Los Angeles to hunt for survivors only to run afoul of armies of rage-driven rats and birds emerging from the rubble. And when mankind reaches its final hour and a pocket of surviving Indians are all that’s left of humanity, it falls on Bones to save the species before civilization is wiped out forever in Alpha.
Three Apocalyptic novellas of nature run amok, three interwoven stories that feature a German shepherd at the center of the things, three stories with so much action you might just explode reading them.
Includes prequel short story, Mongrel.

So, whatcha readin?
Oh man, I love McCray’s book cover. I hope this is one I have. I do have a bunch of her books and I can hardly wait to start reading them!
It’s really good. I was going to review it for my Freakin Fridays but Edward Lorn won out with his new release of The Morning Dew.
