This was exactly what I expected: zombies on the moon!What fun!There's one main thing that connects this book to the others, but I'm not going to spoil it.I will be on to the next in the series shortly.

One flaw I’ve noticed in the previous two books in this series is how similar (and nearly perfect) the main dude characters are. I let it go because I still found them and the story fascinating. Dead Moon stars Callie who has recently given up on her dream of being a ballerina. She is talented and clever, but doesn’t immediately do everything right. I loved her (and this book) from a moment early on when a dude comes on to her in an awkward and all-too-real way and I let out a loud sigh of exasp...

Wow. Zombies on the moon? Yep, they're already dead so it essentially makes no difference! The way Clines justifies their existence is the real draw here. The characters are engaging and you're rooting for them in every situation. In one instance, I was certain a key character would die as Clines described the absolute limits of the human body in space! I was up until 3AM because I couldn't stop listening - I couldn't go to sleep because I was so caught up in the suspense.So generally speaking,

I could hardly wait for this book to come out, but I was so disappointed with it. I’m not really into horror fiction, but 14 lead to the Cthulhu ending so slowly, with such fantastic build up and mystery, that I didn’t mind when it took that unexpected twist. I loved 14, and also enjoyed The Fold. Dead Moon is a straight up zombie story, without even the benefit of likable characters to keep you interested. 14 did such a perfect job of gradually introducing you to a huge cast of fantastic charac...

Space zombies, but not from a plague? This beats even the movie Dead Snow for horror originality.A new twist in what has become a very tired genre was exactly what I needed. I'll admit to being wary, but it didn't take long for me to realize this fresh take was definitely going to satisfy.Now I can finally crack open Threshold #4, Terminus. This is going to be good.

3.5 of 5 stars at The BiblioSanctum https://bibliosanctum.com/2019/04/25/...I’ve really enjoyed Peter Clines’ books in the Threshold series so far (14 and The Fold) which was why I was excited when I found out that he would be releasing a third book as an audio exclusive with Audible. While all these stories appear to take place in the same world, any connections between them are immaterial to their individual plots so each one can be read as a standalone. As such, I wasn’t too surprised to disc...

I was so excited for this book. I loved both 14 and The Fold. This feels like it was written by someone else. It's blatant zombie story, and a poor one at that. I was expecting something similar to the first two books and what I got was disappointment. The character building, story, and writing falls so short of the first two books it's like someone with a zombie obsession wrote fan-fiction that somehow got accidentally published with Peter's name on it. It doesn't feel connected to the setting

I desperately wanted to like this so much more than I did. I guess what I should have remembered is that I wasn't immensely fond of the 2nd book in the series. I enjoyed it at the beginning, lost interest through the middle, and loved the heck out of the last 40 minutes or so when tentacles and mayhem got involved.Full review to come later.

This seems more like a stand-alone-zombie work than it does as part of the Threshold series. I am a huge fan of Clines, but I find I either love his books or fall somewhere in the middle (usually due to the plot). That is how I felt about Paradox Bound, whereas I loved 14, The Fold, and Dead Men Can't Complain. Having said that, I think this story would have fared better in how it was received by reviewers/listeners had it been marketed as a stand-alone and not part of Threshold. Granted, I am o...

I'm going to jump straight into the selling point of Dead Moon: zombies on the moon! Well, that and the fact that it was written by Peter Clines and narrated by Ray Porter. The only other Peter Clines books I've read are 14 and Ex-Heroes, but I loved them - especially 14.Dead Moon is part of the same series as 14, but the Threshold series is comprised of stand alone books. They can absolutely be read independent of each other. (Some day I need to go back and read book 2!)I don't have a lot to sa...

Peter Clines is one of my favourite authors of all time, “14” is one of my favourite books of all time so I’m sad to confirm that Dead Moon is not good. Tying it to the other 2 books in the series was not a good idea, but even as a stand-alone story, this is slow, confusing and not a lot of fun. I agree with other reviewers reasons as to why this is the case, but I have to say these really frustrated me:*** Spoilers ***(view spoiler)[ I get that the moon is now a tourist attraction but they only...

Peter Clines is good for light and accessible reads, generally fun and even sometimes funny. Even if 14 was exceptionally silly, (Tesla secretly keeping world eating monsters at bay with a byzantine machine), it made for a pretty entertaining ride. The Fold surprised me. It wasn't marketed it as a sequel to 14, so I bought it on a whim and was somewhat surprised that it was a sequel of sorts, and again followed the pattern of silly but entertaining, character driven. I was going to keep this as

Well that was fun. What’s not to love about a book about living and working on the Moon? Or about tourism on the moon? It’s been my dream to travel in space to the moon, or to Mars, so that I can experience the effect of no or low gravity. But then... Peter Clines writes a book about Zombies... On the moon. So, ummmm, let’s rethink my dream of going to the moon. I actually love a good zombie story and this was a good unique premise about the moon’s locals trying to fight zombies while staying al...

Mini-Review on 1/28/20:Rating Raised from 4 to 4.5 Stars + Added to Favorites4.5 Stars for Narration by Ray Porter4.5 Stars for Characters4 Stars for Plot Progression (After all the lumpy ones I've read, it's nice to read one that isn't.)Lately, I've been thinking a lot about how authors weave details into the story and how much I appreciate & admire the ones that make relevant impact to the story in multiple points. Especially in a series. I have a lot of give in my rating when I note how well

The description should have said this was a zombie book. Had I known that, I certainly wouldn’t have bought it, and probably wouldn’t even have borrowed it from the library.

This is pretty much every zombie movie you've ever seen - cliche after cliche, from incompetent people standing in shock as the monsters come to get them, to the disbelieving mayor who refuses to signal for help until its too late. The only thing that separates this from a zillion other zombie stories is that it takes place on the moon, so you have to add the effects of low gravity and vacuum. Those traits are woefully inadequate to turn this into a great story, and the lackluster attempt at the...

Dead Moon is the third book in the Threshold universe by Peter Clines. Yes "universe" and not "series". While taking place in the same universe as 14 and The Fold, this story is completely unrelated to those books with only one very loose connection. Dead Moon definitely works well as a stand alone and won't spoil any of the surprises from the previous two books should you want to pick this one up first. With that out of the way....The year is 2243. The Moon has become the largest graveyard in t...

My review of Dead Moon can be found at High Fever Books.Zombies on the moon!That basic, low-level pitch either just sealed the deal for you and you’re ready to click Buy Now, or it made you groan derisively with a reflexive “Dear god, not another freaking zombie book!” Depending on if your instincts followed either the first or the second reaction, there’s probably little more I need to tell you about Dead Moon, an Audible Original written by Peter Clines exclusively for audiobook release by Aud...

Dead Moon is a pretty good story that takes place in Peter Clines Threshold universe, but it is not in my opinion Book three of the series that started with 14 and then The Fold. If that is what you are expecting then you will be disappointed.What you will get with Dead Moon is an entertaining eleven and a half hour listen. I liked it, but yes, I was disappointed. It is tied in with the other two books in the way Stephen King will tie his novels to his Dark Tower, or the way Derry and Castle Roc...

Holy crap this was bad. I’ve made this complaint in several reviews of Clines books but he cannot write women. It is horribly distracting as I constantly think to myself “Literally no woman would react to this situation that way”. There are scenes that that are supposed to be tense and fraught and then a woman character’s ass is referred to as being curvy or something I don’t give a shit about. I haven’t even mentioned the well trodden zombie tropes that are used in this. It was infuriating. I u...
