Tooth And Nail: From the iconic #1 bestselling author of A SONG FOR THE DARK TIMES

Product Information

A few seconds later, his odachi turned hazy, and then dissipated into a shadow. Sunny was at his limit. The Mad Dog angle and exponential rate of infection is a good one, as is the military rescue of the scientist who identified the Mad Dog strain and its methodology. Keeping the shadow sword tangible was eating through what little he had left with frightening speed, but the worst offender was the Shadow Lantern. A Divine Memory was as gluttonous as one would think. On top of that, there were the Dying Wish and the Mantle of the Underworld.

This is one of the few books I've read that approaches the zombie apocalypse from where it started. And it shows how difficult it was for the soldiers both physically and mentally. They are sworn to protect the American people and now they have to kill some of them and leave others behind to fend for themselves. I enjoyed this book. It was in turn, heartbreaking, gory, thrilling and scary.

Otra cosa que me sorprendió de esta novela es que realmente se da una explicación detallada, real y creíble del origen de la epidemia y eso se agradece completamente, no es como todas esas otras historia en las que nadie tiene idea de como surgió el virus. Además de que las escenas están muy bien descritas y el lector puede imaginarse cada una de las situaciones que presenta el autor. As you read this mystery, you will encounter more than 1,300 words commonly found on the SAT, each one highlighted in boldface. The best part is, you'll remember the words better because you've learned each one in context, or in relation to the other words around it. And one thing the SAT will always test is your ability to comprehend what you read, and your knowledge of words in context. Did you ever imagine you could study for the SAT by reading a mystery novel? If that sounds like a better way to go, look inside. Sadly, he could not dismiss the veil of shadows, since doing that would reveal his identity as Mongrel to a lot of strangers. The members of his own cohort had already seen enough, most likely, but he somewhat trusted them to keep his secret. Due to the fact that Sunny had kept them alive through several dire battles, the bonds of loyalty were already forming between the six soldiers and their captain. Tooth and Nail features "infected", not "zombies", and the virus is a genetically altered mutation of the rabies virus. So not exactly zombies, but similar, though it reads like a true zombie book.The terrifying confrontation between the Tyrant of the Stone Hive and Sky Tide of the White Feather clan went on, but now, the eerily beautiful jade beetle was clearly losing. Antes de empezar con mi opinión debo decirles que he leído demasiados libros sobre zombis y por eso mis expectativas siempre son elevadas, dicho esto empezare por decirles que la calidad en la redacción de esta novela me impresiono bastante, en verdad es una historia muy bien contada (que al final de cuentas es lo que más importa) y un plus extra que tiene son los sub títulos que el autor a colocado a lo largo de toda la historia, una pequeña frase que encontramos al inicio de cada capitulo y que da un toque muy original (tipo diario) a este libro.

This is my first experience reading author Craig Dilouie and I was pretty impressed. Out of the dozens of zombie novels I’ve read over the years, this was the first to really focus on the military aspect of the plague (other than Jonathan Maberry’s PATIENT ZERO, but that concentrated more on an isolated covert operation and included only a sprinkling of zombie action) Usually the military is used in the periphery, but in TOOTH AND NAIL, Dilouie drags the reader not only into the middle of the action, but into the minds of the soldier. Like any group of people, you have the good and bad, the courageous and cowardly. But I am pretty sure my ESL students won't be at the level where they are engaging with the 2-dimensional nature of the characters, so I'm not too worried about it.The stone hive, which had been unified and deviously intelligent before, suddenly seemed to lose much of its coordination. I'm biased towards infected humans over the undead, both fast and slow ones, though novels with such antagonists are few and far between. This is one of them. As always, there are a few critiques to go with the praise. I wasn’t fond of the tense in which DiLouie told the story. At times it jumbled the scene. And, of course, you will find a typo or two. However, Tooth and Nail is a clean read for a small press.

The biggest issue for me though, was that for some reason the author decided to skip past chunks of story that, as an apocalyptic/horror/action fan, I would have liked to have read. He also chose to cut to different scenes pretty abruptly, deciding to wrap up the previous scene by telling the reader what happened instead of allowing us to "see" it for ourselves. Surrounded by a swarm of Nightmare Creatures, Sunny fought while feeling extremely aggrieved. Things were not going great for him... he was extremely tired, bruised and battered, and worst of all, his essence was running dry. Once the most damning evidence was gone, Sunny had no reason to keep the Shadow Lantern active, so he dismissed it as well. It seemed....... it seemed that the persistent corrosion, which the Cruel Sight had learned to reflect thanks to the Wormvine's miasma, turned out to be more powerful than Sunny had thought. Much more likely than that, though, was that it just happened to finish off the mighty abomination after it had been brought to the very edge of death by Sky Tide, but before she could deal the killing blow. The pace is fast, and at first I found it slightly difficult to keep the characters straight in my mind - perhaps because as military, they seem to blend together more easily than say, a group of civilians.Tooth and Nail is one of the most immersive experiences you can find as a fan of apocalyptic fiction. As a former military officer, I can attest to complexity and uncertainty of the difficult decisions faced by second lieutenant Todd Bowman and his men, as they faced an increasingly deadly and nebulous viral threat on the streets of Manhattan. The buildup of tension, confusion and violence was expertly drawn from start to finish. Each soldier's role in the story is examined and expanded through gritty action, well constructed conversation and personal narrative introspection. After learning their captain's true identity, Luster was extremely inspired. He had given up on his goal not long after the clash with the stone hive started, but now, it did not seem as impossible anymore. Un hecho muy interesante es que el autor baso el libro en el punto de vista del ejercito americano y no en la visión de los civiles (que suele ser el cliché de todos los libros de este género) Both a thrilling mystery and a test-prep masterclass, Tooth and Nail is an entertaining, genius way to conquer the vocabulary section of SATs and ACTs. Then, something strange happened. The veil of darkness enveloping the lower part of the slope suddenly flowed forward and drowned a large swath of Nightmare Creatures assaulting their defensive line from the flank.
