Day by Day Armageddon Book Three: Shattered Hourglass; Blood Will Out

J. L. Bourne delivers another taunt and suspenseful thriller in "Day by Day Armageddon Book Three: Shattered Hourglass". Kilroy is on a sub headed for Hawaii en route to China to kidnap Patient Zero, or CHANG, as he is called, to see the American scientists and doctors that are left can determine what started the zombie virus and maybe find a way to end it. He introduced a lot more survivors, brave guys, as well as some shadowy world domination group. He said in the introduction that it might be the last book, but I sure hope not. They're so interesting!

"Blood Will Out" by Walter Kirn was very interesting as well. In 1998, Walter met a man named "Clark Rockefeller" when he delivered a disabled dog named Shelby to him that Clark adopted over the internet. For the next 10 years, Walter counts Clark as a friend, visiting from time to time, emailing, talking on the phone. Clark spins amazing stories of his life, his wealth, his famous friends. In 2008, when it's all over the news that Clark kidnapped his daughter and is in fact not a Rockefeller at all but a German immigrant and an imposter who is wanted for murder, Walter is shocked that he didn't see through the web of lies Clark had spun years earlier, despite all the warning signs.
