The exciting conclusion of the Deadland Saga is here!
Winter has arrived.
It has been nearly one year since the zombie hordes claimed the world. As the plague eats away at its victims' bodies, the Fox survivors search for a safe place to rebuild what they have lost. But a dangerous new threat has risen, hunting them from every direction.
To survive, Cash, Clutch, and their small band of refugees must put their faith in a group of strangers and a new government with radical plans. It will take all of the Fox survivors' strength and courage to endure in this barren, hostile world. Even that might not be enough.
Deadland Rising is inspired by Dante Alighieri's final poem of the Divine Comedy...the seven virtues reimagined zombie apocalypse style!

Deadland Rising Deadland Saga Book 3 eBook Rachel Aukes
Being a Midwest girl, Rachel Aukes's Deadland Saga sucked me in and spoke to me because I know the cities and landscapes. She has an amazing talent for turning innocuous, everyday places like big box retail stores into terrifying zed zones. I loved the adaptive reuse of the Perkins flag as a symbol of New Eden. The camp meal prepared on the altar table of an abandoned church is a pure literary gem of imagery. The description of bombed out bungalow neighborhoods in Des Moines struck a chord, too. And if you have ever been caught in a bad snowstorm on a rural Iowa interstate, compounded by no plows and no road salt, you know why Clutch & Crew were hustling to get to home base. Compared to Books 1 and 2 in the series, Book 3 was not so focused on the zombies, but the impact of the devastation of civilization on places and people.In true honor to the title, Aukes keeps hope alive throughout Deadland Rising. And then she dashes it, and then hope rises a little, and then she dashes it.... The action is non-stop, and I couldn't put this book down until I finished it at 1 a.m. There is a lot to be wary of in the new world - zeds, bandits, feral animals, illness, decreased resources and power-hungry politicians. You feel the exhaustion seeping out of the main characters.
The romantic sucker in me really wanted Cash and Clutch, and their extended family of tag-alongs, to have a happy ending. But in typical horror fashion, Aukes isn't inclined to give everyone the HEA. I'm more of a romance reader, and never met a horror film where I didn't cover my eyes, so there has to be a hint of a happy ending for me to crack a dystopian genre book. The tender scenes between Cash and Clutch are sparse because who really has time for romance when you are fighting for your life and have no privacy? I hate books where the romantic leads somehow find time to canoodle in the midst of danger, and that becomes a pivotal plot point. Contrastingly, the very talented Aukes manages to keep Cash and Clutch the passionate center of the story through little looks and touches and displays of private devotion. She accelerates the romantic tension by raising the question as to whether hard-man Clutch will relent to any future with Cash. There is a sense of doom surrounding Clutch that is tangible throughout the trilogy.
Deadland Rising is well-written, highly descriptive, tug-at-your-heartstrings emotional and thrillingly climactic. I think I am going to have to read it again so I can appreciate the subtlety of story now that the race to the ending is complete.

Deadland Rising Deadland Saga Book 3 eBook Rachel Aukes Reviews
Well I just finished the last book in the Deadland Saga ..I have to say that I enjoyed reading this series.. From the beginning Rachel ( if I may call her that ) has clearly and distinctly led us to the end of the story that was filled with adventure , horror, love, sadness, hope and faith. The story of Clutch , Cash and Jase has given me chills , thrills , tears and laughter .. That they even with all the evil going on around them ,found that Family is more than just words, more than just who you are born to or raised with.. Family are the people who you depend on , count on and defend if need be with your own life.. If Rachel reads this I would tell her thank you for letting us peek into their lives and their world .. It is a sad but beautiful place and if you love to read not only zombie stories but a awesome and compelling saga then please join the family of Clutch, Cash And Jase in ..The world of The Deadlands..and let's hope for them the nightmare is now over..
Very engaging, I found the characters well filled out and the story held my attention all the way through. Very intense. The characters are well written and each chapter left me wanting more. Love the character interaction and story development. It is like being in a knife fight that doesn't end until the last page, I love reading his stuff. easy to get caught up in the pages and feel as if you are there.
I really did not appreciate the lack of sleep, so DO NOT pick this up until you are ready to commit to an all-night sleep-defying read!” had a hard time putting the book down.
Okay, so here's the deal. I promised to have this book read and reviewed two weeks ago. Which, if we want to get technical...I did. But being that Deadland Rising is the final chapter in Aukes Deadland Saga I absolutely had to reread it before I could give my final thoughts. Honestly, I'm still not sure how to convey how I feel about the book in mere words.
So here's the gist of it. Camp Fox is finito and the group heads for New Eden. Of course, along the way they're hit with a bunch of roadblocks--and I don't mean just traffic jams. By the time they arrived, even though it didn't take up too much time in the book, I felt as if it was a complete tale that could successfully stand alone as a novella. But Aukes trudged on; determined to get out every last drop of story to her readers. Then we're given a treat and hopes of a cure surface. Without giving away too much detail, by the time the group leaves the church I felt as if that hump of the story could have also stood alone as a successful novella...but wait, there's more! Aukes kept going, bringing us to the capitol and introducing a benevolent dictator with wildly misguided intentions. Here I found myself yelling at the characters, "don't you know never to take candy from strangers?!" Okay, so they didn't take any candy, but still, they had quite the duh moment and it bit them in the arse. That's all I'll share about the plot, even though there's much more in between and after. Some things you just have to experience for yourselves.
Before I get down to the best bits, I want to share the one niggling thing that I can't totally get on board with. The story relays that the virus is even more virulent outside the host, and infection rates increase. Now, I know that a miniscule number viruses can live outside the host on nonporous fomites for up to a week, however after twenty-four hours, it's ability to spread degrades much like a medication's half-life. So, not that I couldn't get past the scientific liberties, because--after all--this is a work of fiction. I just found it pulled me out of the story whenever it came up because my clinical brain questioned it every time. No harm, no foul, though...and it's such a minor gripe that it had no bearing on my rating of the book. I just happen to be neurotic, and let's be honest, I'm no microbiologist, so there's always the chance that I'm misinformed.
Now...on to what I really enjoyed about the book. I've been dying to see how Aukes dealt with the two creepy kids, and was elated to find not only them, but another tertiary character similarly afflicted, become their own little arc within the book. In fact I'd love to see a short story about the kids that goes further in-depth with the hows and whys, or maybe even gives a glimpse into their Z-addled brains.
I'm happy Aukes didn't go heavy on the lovey-dovey stuff with Cash and Clutch. It would have detracted from the tone set in the previous books and I think she gave readers enough of a hint without making it gag-city.
I'm totally a dog person, but let me be the first to say, I definitely do not want to hug any of the dogs in the Deadland Saga...well, maybe Diesel, but not the others (the feral, sickly strays). It stands to reason that domesticated animals would go feral if left to their own defenses, and that most of the small dogs would go the way of the dodo while large mongrels flourish. So it's believable, yet disturbing nonetheless.
All said and done, Aukes writes good fiction, no ifs ands or buts about it. A true testament to her talent is that a year can pass and I'll still remember the finer details of her stories. That, ladies and gentleman, is nothing short of spectacular. Even though I received this book in return for an honest review, I purchased a copy because it was just that good and deserved it!
Being a Midwest girl, Rachel Aukes's Deadland Saga sucked me in and spoke to me because I know the cities and landscapes. She has an amazing talent for turning innocuous, everyday places like big box retail stores into terrifying zed zones. I loved the adaptive reuse of the Perkins flag as a symbol of New Eden. The camp meal prepared on the altar table of an abandoned church is a pure literary gem of imagery. The description of bombed out bungalow neighborhoods in Des Moines struck a chord, too. And if you have ever been caught in a bad snowstorm on a rural Iowa interstate, compounded by no plows and no road salt, you know why Clutch & Crew were hustling to get to home base. Compared to Books 1 and 2 in the series, Book 3 was not so focused on the zombies, but the impact of the devastation of civilization on places and people.
In true honor to the title, Aukes keeps hope alive throughout Deadland Rising. And then she dashes it, and then hope rises a little, and then she dashes it.... The action is non-stop, and I couldn't put this book down until I finished it at 1 a.m. There is a lot to be wary of in the new world - zeds, bandits, feral animals, illness, decreased resources and power-hungry politicians.
