Autumn: Purification
Autor David Moodyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 iul 2011
A bastard hybrid of "War of the Worlds "and "Night of the Living Dead," the Autumn series chronicles the struggle survivors are forced to contend with in a world torn apart by a deadly disease. 99% of the population of the planet has been killed in less than 24 hours. Animated by "phase two" of some unknown contagion, the dead begin to rise. At first slow, blind, dumb and lumbering, the bodies soon regain their most basic senses and abilities sight, hearing, locomotion as well as the instinct toward aggression and violence. Held back only by the restraints of their rapidly decomposing flesh, the dead seem to have only one single goal to lumber forth and destroy the sole remaining attraction in the silent, lifeless world: those who have survived the plague, who now find themselves outnumbered 1,000,000 to 1...
In "Autumn: Purification," the heroes from the original "Autumn "novel and "Autumn: The City "work together to survive in this horrifying new world.
Without ever using the Z' word, the Autumn series offers a new perspective on the traditional zombie story. There's no flesh eating, no fast-moving corpses, no gore for gore's sake. Combining the atmosphere and tone of a George Romero film with the attitude and awareness of "28 Days Later, "this horrifying and suspenseful novel is filled with relentless cold, dark fear."

Descriere
It's been almost one hundred days since a killer disease wiped out 99% of the population. Three months since the dead reanimated. Survivors are few and far between now, and those who remain stick together to give themselves the best possible chance of continuing to stay alive. They are the last of the living.
A band of refugees has taken shelter in a medieval castle - a fortress that has stood strong for hundreds of years. Besieged by the dead, they only emerge when it's absolutely necessary. As autumn turns to winter, however, the balance of power slowly begins to shift.
The unexpected appearance of survivors from another group changes everything. They bring choice, and an alternative way of life which is a far cry from the world everyone has been forced to leave behind. Society as we know it has crumbled beyond repair and things will never be the same again. Some people are ready to embrace this change, others can't let go of the past. The choice is divisive.
Are we entering mankind's final days? In the aftermath of the disease, will the last survivors destroy each other, or will the dead destroy them all?
Recenzii
Those few who are still alive are dealing with a nightmare situation. The dead swarm the land, limited by their decaying bodies - and yet, remarkably, they are becoming more controlled. They are becoming self-aware, and they will defend themselves at all costs.
A group of men and woman have managed to survive against the odds, burning, smashing, battering and destroying every dead body they come across. Somewhere nearby, out of sight and out of earshot, another group of survivors have adopted a completely different strategy for survival: silence, restraint and self-control.
But a series of horrific events are about to force these two groups of people together and time is running out. With tension rising and fear reaching unbearable levels it's suddenly no longer clear whether the biggest threat comes from outside the walls of the shelter, or from within.
Praise for the AUTUMN series:
'David Moody continues to go against the trend by writing zombie fiction (without the word "zombie") and swapping gore for intelligent storytelling and deep character development. This is smart fiction, written with style and insight' Jonathan Maberry, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Patient Zero
'Autumn is genuinely creepy' David Wellington, bestselling author of Monster Island
