Solid start

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 19, 2022

I read and LOVED the entire Zombie Fallout series to date. I really enjoy the way Mark writes and so started this series. A good side start with some beloved characters. A lot more emotion and less humor in this one.

Not Quite There

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 29, 2017

I really wanted to like this book and even read 3 more chapters because I thought I could get attached to the characters in some way. Unfortunately, I didn't, I ended feeling kind of confused and not really getting the storyline. I know people love this series and the good thing i can say is I love the cover. I'm not going to bash this author because I'm going to read his zombie books and see where that takes me.

I can't with a clear conscience recommend this book but my co-worker and he loves it so I gave it 3 stars just for that. He actually is on book 3 of the series.

Michael Talbot returns

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 1, 2013

This could have easily been called Fallout Generations. Its great to see a few known names returning and new ones introduced but seemingly familiar characters. The Fallout universe has been expanded in a completely different direction, this gives an excellent continuation/new branch to an already great series.

The world has sort of rebuilt itself after the events of the Zombie Fallout universe, however a new threat is emerging in the form of Lycans, these pureblood creatures can create werewolves and have decided that man needs to be ruled and eaten! Michael Talbot is a hangover from the previous Armageddon as he was left half human half vampire and has been moping about every since his family died off. However, as always, he is dragged back into the front lines to help the human race, whether they want him or not. The book does not dwell on the past too much and there is action from start to finish, the story and world develops quickly.

I think that if you are new to Mark Tufo you could start with this book as there is a large disconnect to the Zombie Fallout series, however I would recommend to go back to the start.

If you are a ZF fan then you do not really need to be sold this book as its already on your to-buy list. Its fresh and still packs a punch with its shocks and cliffhangers just in a more lycan/werewolf way. I especially like the way that Mark has left a gap and a tentative bit of info that will allow a continuation of the ZF series (this stuff needs explaining Mark!).

Great read from start to finish, for me they are never long enough but then again they never will be, the multiple universes and one-offs means that a new Tufo book is never far away, you just never know where it is going to be!

Great new take on Lycans and werewolfs

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 27, 2013

Mark Tufo has proved to many that he is an amazing author, and the Zombie Fallout series is must read. Lycan Fallout takes place long after the zombies have come and gone, but the main character Mike Talbot is still alive and kicking. Only now he is kicking lycan and werewolf butt instead of zombies. You see Mr Talbot is a vampire. Although not a regular vampire you may be used to, but due to certain events that happened in Zombie Fallout series he is doomed to walk the earth immortal, trying to find a way to regain his soul so he can join his friends and family in the great beyond.

The zombie series will help you understand events in this book, but it is not a requirement that you read these to understand this story. This is a new take on lycans. After zombies almost eliminated mankind from the face of the earth lycans see this as their opportunity to ban together and take what is theirs, no longer living in the shadows of man. Lycans have resorted to creating werewolfs to help wipe what is left of the world of men. Werewolfs and lycan throughout history have been seen as the same thing, but in this story werewolfs follow the ancient story of men turning into a half man half wolf hybrid creature during a full moon, where lycans are born the way they are and can turn anytime they want.

Michael Talbot must venture out across the barren ruins of the old world in order to protect what is left of humans. Some living in small towns trying to rebuild what once was. With the help of Tommy, the other immortal vampire Talbot is literally mankind's only hope if they wish to remain from being extinct. This book sounds like the first in hopefully many to come like the Zombie Fallout series

OK I read Zombie Fallout and Callis Rose but no other Tufo series. This is simply because I don't really like how he reuses the same characters, I get that its his 'thing' I just don't like it.

That being said im kind of confused where this book stands. At the start he states that it is NOT a continuation of the ZF series but that it IS the same timeline. So I take that to mean that it is a alternate reality? Id really like that clarified if someone would be so kind.

NOW that does not really have anything to do with my review. Three and a half stars. You have the usual Talbot antics though mellowed at times and overshadowed at others by a depression. One thing to note if you have not read the ZF series and may want to this book WILL spoil things for you. I kind of feel like I should write more but im feeling kind of lazy. As someone who read ZF and is waiting for the next in the series I was satisfied.

I may not buy the next in the series (see the first paragraph) but I have no regrets buying this one and I doubt someone who enjoyed his previous books will either.

Mike's tale has grown with the telling

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 3, 2013

I really loved this new incarnation of Mike Talbot! His cynicism has grown with his age, and that is only to be expected, but also he has gained the capability of self reflection, which is a new thing for Talbot. All this character development is consistent with a person who has lived for over 150 years, and I was pleasantly surprised by how Talbot's character has evolved, even though I prefer an optimistic nature to the pessimism Talbot displays in this story. I am eagerly awaiting the next installment, and I hope to see more of Azile, Bailey and Lana. I was so sad to see one of the main characters pass on, but if anyone can be brought back to life somehow, that character would be the one....Other reviewers have noted that this book is better if you've read the ZF series, and I would have to agree with that, although I think it also stands quite well on its own. My husband just rolls his eyes when a new Tufo book comes out because I can't hear anything he is saying, but he appreciates that I let him read the book when I am done with it!

Another thing I would specifically like to address is that Mark Tufo has my vote because even though he has been gaining notice rather quickly, he has not sunk so low as to raise the prices on his books to a point where they are ridiculous. Kudos for that Mr. Tufo!

Another Great Story!

Ok so this book is awesome, for those who are Zombie Fallout fans this books pics up the story on the same time line. So it isn't continued from Zombie FallOut 6 but it's the same Mike Talbot only now he is in a different world with a different threat. What I liked and enjoyed was that we still get the emotional rollar coaster ride with our hero, there is enough emotion to go around and I found myself tearing up a few times. Although I will say this (sort of spoiler alert) I hate it when women manipulte GAH! There was one character I wanted to throttle but I won't say anymore. I love the world Tufo is building the USA 150 years in the future.....aaaand the future looks bleak. But it is an amazing story so I highly recommend it. Both fans and new readers will enjoy this book. You don't have to read the Zombie Fallout series to get the story but it does provide a nice background. I do have one question that I hope will get addressed.(Another spoiler alert) NONE of Mike Talbot's family survived? No great-grea-great grandchildren or anything!!! Like I said this novel has it all, intense emotion, comedy, sarcastic humor, action and a great adventure. I read the book over night and now I await for the next one! Mark Tufo delivers again so give it a try and you might find yourself with a new favorite series!

I just discovered the Zombie Fallout series a week and a half ago. It quickly became a disease as it consumed my time and I burned through all six books pretty quickly. I really, really like author, his writing style, and I love the Mike Talbot character. I can't help but picture a younger Bruce Willis with a full head of hair playing him on screen. After discouragingly discovering I came to the end of my Mike Talbot marathon with book 6, I stumbled across this little gem. I am such a huge fan of the Zombie Fallout books that I was hesitant to venture out to this book so it sat on my Kindle for a couple days before I took a look at it. That's all I needed. After one pge, I was back to my mad sprint through this book and am very pleased with it. I think the author did a great transition with the character while changing the storyline at the same time. Anyone who read the Zombie Fallout and loved them will certainly love this book as well. If you did not read the Zombie Fallout; this book is 100% a standalone read.

This was a very action filled and adventurous read. I love lycans, werewolfs and even zombies, although I haven't read this author's, Zombie Fallout, yet, I totally enjoyed this. Mike Talbot is hilarious and I most definitely loved his dog, Augustine Purpose Talbot. :D However, I worried about Oggie constantly since there was danger everywhere in this world. I also liked Sebastian (the cat who could shift into any animal). I tremendously liked Tommy and the ending left me somewhat depressed. We even get to read some of the story through the lycan's point of view and at some point I even felt bad for one or two of them. This was exceptionally written and the characters were well depicted, even if there were a few that I didn't like so much. Overall, this was an absolutely exciting read, which takes place in such a terrifying period of time. :)

Okay so this book was in my Amazon Wish List as well as my brain wish list and when I first discovered that Tufo would be writing this book and I was so excited! Then I forgot all about it (SORRY!) until yesterday when Amazon thankfully emailed me a reminder about it!! After reading (and loving) all the ZF books I had high expectations for this one and it didn't disappoint. I have to say that probably the first chapter had me really sad and I was thinking, "This is so depressing, I need to stop, What has Tufo done??!!!" But then I kept reading and everything was okay in Talbot-verse again. I thoroughly enjoyed the way this book was written. There is a lot of inner dialogue from Mike's p.o.v which I appreciated in ZF. I also enjoyed how the storyline continued on and after ZF (even though I think this was also intended as a stand-alone). I'd highly recommend this to anyone who is a fan of the ZF series, even though it isn't zombie apocalypse-ish. If you appreciate the dry humour, sarcasm, strong morals, adventure, love of pets, Mike's love of alcohol and him saving the day, then you will love this! I'm really looking forward to the next in the series. I never thought I could love something non-zombie as much as the ZF series!

Rise of the Werewolf (Lycan Fallout #1) by Mark Tufo is a different kind of werewolf novel. I get tired of the same old vamp and were novels after a bit, I read enough of them and they seem all the same after a while but not this one! What a pleasant surprise. I have this book as an ebook but I was going to make a long trip to my doctor's appt (2 1/2 hours one way) and downloaded as audio free from Amazon and listened to it and boy, I love it! The story is about a disgruntled vamp and his dog, an older but kid-looking vamp friend, and a witch. They have lots of adventure as they decide what to do with the rise of werewolves. Loved the characters, the plot, and the crazy situations they get themselves into! No wonder this whole series has so many 5 stars! Great book.
