"A zombie outbreak is on the precipice of becoming a full-blown apocalypse. A secret division of the US military continually deploys to eradicate any sign of zombies. Their operations are always successful, just managing to fight back the tide of the undead without throwing the world into panic. The walking cannibal corpses aren't the only threat these troops face, though; they are also plagued by the strain of battle, the loss of squad-mates, and the unrelenting job of stopping an unstoppable force." --FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS From SELF-PUBLISHING REVIEW There is a brutal realism to this novel that makes it immediately engaging and relatable. It takes a skillful author to balance a fantastical environment with such human interactions, but Beauchemin colors the novel with a sense of depth and authenticity. Lovers of zombie movies and novels will also appreciate the vivid actions scenes and gruesome descriptions that are core to any zombie novel. Beauchemin exposes the less horrific aspects of a zombie apocalypse, yet still manages to make readers white-knuckle the binding throughout the novel. ★★★★ From FOREWORD CLARION REVIEWS Jason A. Beauchemin's Counter-Zombie Warfare is an all-too-realistic take on the zombie apocalypse. It features vivid characters, explosive action, and heart-wrenching emotional fallout... Counter-Zombie Warfare takes a refreshingly novel approach to the zombie genre, pitting the undead against a highly-trained division of soldiers who constantly fight so that civilians, instead of being used as zombie fodder, never suffer here... The narration reads like that of an eyewitness documentarian following the intrepid warriors on and off the battlefield... Counter-Zombie Warfare enlivens the undead genre by focusing on the elite squad tasked with quashing the zombie outbreak before it begins. From KIRKUS REVIEWS In Beauchemin's debut sci-fi thriller, a specialized military unit aims to protect the world from recurring zombie outbreaks... An engaging interpretation of a familiar subgenre. The focus shifts between the undead and the military unit, and the soldiers deal with issues beyond the zombies... The prose is befitting of a naval officer, with its thorough descriptions of weapons and military engagements. But there's humor here as well, chiefly in the sarcastic--and generally graphic--dialogue, which even includes a few references to walrus genitalia... An unorthodox tale in which battling zombies is just one of many tribulations for troubled soldiers. From BLUEINK REVIEW In this original take on the zombie genre, Jason A. Beauchemin forgoes details about the origins or initial outbreak of the disease that turns the dead into walking threats, focusing instead on the fight against the monsters... This isn't the formula of countless George Romero films featuring a ragged band of survivors navigating a postapocalyptic landscape... It's just as much Full Metal Jacket as Night of the Living Dead ... The author writes in clean, impactful, authentic prose, and the story is steeped in the language, action and mood of the military... This is not for readers leery about blood and gore or prudish about curse words; the narrative is full of violent imagery and strong language... The author's departure from the standard zombie narrative is refreshing... Beauchemin's novel, replete with vivid action, offers horror fans and military-adventure readers a unique narrative fusion they will appreciate. Jason A. Beauchemin grew up in southern Connecticut.
