5.0 out of 5 starsMike'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!

2.0 out of 5 starsSlow, Shallow And Boring.
Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2020
The title says it all for me.
1. Editing was sub-par for even indie publishing. -1 star
2. Little character development with far too many flashbacks that add essentially nothing to the current story. The MC (main character) comes across as whinny and broken, not interesting at all. -1 star
3. Bigotry, racism and arrogance in the MC are repulsive. -1 star
If you haven't read the previous series this is a long boring slog to make sense of and the lack of action coupled with the aforesaid failures make this a non starter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wicked Awesome!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013

Once again, Mike Talbot get himself in a whole heap of trouble! Of course, through no fault of his own doing - of course not! LOL - he has survived the zombie fallout, watched his family die and what is he left with but his own sarcasm and no one to dish it out to - until Tommy and Azile bring him back from the "dead" and show him that he is the ONLY person to "save the world" (once again).

Now, we can only hope Talbot gets out of his own way and help his friends, and, with the help of new friends and a new puppy - he gets down to business of saving the world the Talbot way!

Not everything that goes bump in the night is a vampire or zombie - now, we have to deal with Lycanthropes and Werewolves! Woo-hoo!!

Great story and a great beginning to a new series from Mark Tufo.

You don't have to have read the zombie fallout series to enjoy this new series by Mark Tufo. Mark brings the crazy back - and in a whole new way of goodness!

Enjoy! Go Read A Book!

5.0 out of 5 stars 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

5.0 out of 5 stars It's our favorite, some times dysfunctional, hero.
Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2019

Putting Talbot in an alternate universe with some memories of other occurrences and friends is just what we were looking forward to. It would be hard to say anything about what is going on in this adventure without giving a lot of the story away. You will find old, new and forgotten friends helping one way or another. This book was fast paced enough that I finished it in two settings. Michael Talbot has new adversaries and new situations. Leading our characters into entirely different situations that only with his incredible luck and slightly different ways of approaching problems will get him through a parallel universe. Grab your favorite beverages and snacks so you won't have to get up and down. Strap on and enjoy the ride.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely satisfying read!!!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2013

If you loved the Zombie Fallout series, you will love this book just as well and be begging for more when it ends. Mike Talbot is a character we can all relate to. He's not perfect, he probably even needs a Prozac the size of a tennis ball most of the time, but hey...wouldn't you in his shoes? It would help to understand some of the past references if you read the Zombie Fallout series first, but I think the story can stand on it's own as well. I can not put this book down. Makes for some sleepy times at work the next day....damn you Mark Tufo!! JK, love you dude! At 55 years old I can tell people my favorite author writes Zombie fiction (and alien, and vampire and werewolf). I think that might actually make me the COOLEST grandma on the block!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good fantasy/horror book
Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2019
Verified Purchase
I liked this crazy story, i havent read the Zombie fallout series and the Talbot and other main caracter is new to me, some more of the background history from zombie fallout books would be nice to have but you can read this book standalone, it is a start or reboot of a new angle to Talbots crazy life with Lycans treatning human future. The instant complaining and big mouth of the Talbot caracter sometimes got to my nerve he he, i guess thats what the author wants. I now have a problem....i have to read the rest of the Lychan fallout serie, and the Zombie books, many sleepless night ahead i guess. If you like Lycan horror, fantasy, scifi well written this is the book for you

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome and funny, action packed, and thought provoking, great book!

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.

Pretty good. The narrator is the same one that does Nightlord series and Michael has the same kind of snark as Eric (from Nightlord). I love the nightlord series and it appears that I will be loving this one also. While Mark Tufo said this is a stand alone series, which it appears to be, it does talk about the previous series Michael was in. Some of it you can figure out but some makes me really wish I had started listening to the first series. All in all still a good series so far.

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.
