There are a few things to keep in mind when reading this review. First of all, I usually hate zombie stories. I just don't get them. The whole coming back to life to eat the living thing is patently stupid (imho). Not to mention scientifically preposterous. Secondly, I'm not a big fan of post-apocalyptic stories. They are just too damn depressing and dreary for my tastes. And, Finally, I have a low tolerance for blood, guts, gore, and violence--the ick factor. Well, I used to anyway...I both lis...

3.5 stars, where a solid story with kick-ass characters was offset by the bizarre - yet unique and even gutsy - format of the book.Well, after a mostly lackluster month of picking out some random books from the Kindle Unlimited list (and worse, yes, even books that I .... gasp... paid full price for!), "Dead Mech" is exactly what I needed. Action, zombies, everyone kicking ass left and right and just an awesome take on the whole dystopian / zombie genre. It may be the nanobots talking but someti...

Hundreds of years after the zombie apocalypse decimates the world, human civilization has put itself back together again. Their secret weapon against the zombie hordes: the Mechs. Massive robotic battle machines. But what happens when a mech pilot dies in his mech and becomes a zombie? Hell on earth is unleashed... Prepare for a high action, fast paced, hell ride through a futuristic wasteland as Mech Base Commander James Capreze and his crew of mech pilots battle zombies, cannibals, religiou

Loved this book, a great new twist on the zombie genre. Great characters, I would guess Mr Bible has a intelligent and strong better half as he writes his women characters like that, they aren't just beautiful fillers, they don't sit around waiting for men to rescue them. Harlow is a great character in particular. How he can make several tons of metal cute is beyond me, but he does, Stomper :) The Rookie arc of the story was also very good.I enjoyed this so much I have downloaded another in the

Didn't enjoy it quite as much as the Mega series, but it was highly entertaining anyway. A lot of action and adventure and everything I've read by Jake Bible has been a lot of fun so far!

Deliciously vile. I don't normally enjoy zombie novels, but Dead Mech is so disgusting and screwed up that it transcends its genre and becomes the same sort of mesmerizing glorification of filth that the True Blood tv show excels at.

I first "read" this in audio format, and folks, I just gotta say...Wow!Action Movie, Horror Story, Sci-Fi Thriller, Post Apocalyptic Tale of Zombies & Super Science gone awry. But all of that is really just the backdrop, the setting, against which the story is told. It's all about the characters here. Just trust me on this one. If you ever enjoyed any of the aforementioned genres then you're going to enjoy Dead Mech.So, take a leap of faith and dive in.BUY THIS BOOK!http://www.amazon.com/DEAD-ME...

dialogue that is in this:"i'd rather not have the only working uterus in the wasteland""You sure have balls." "Last time I checked" the commander quipped"jesus... what can i say about this? copious amounts of swearing because the author grew up in a house with a lot of swearing. he even stated that he took words out so he could fit more swearing into the drabble format. the problem i have with the swearing is that it is so forced. when you are under stress and need to convey information to someo...

The zombie craze has taken over the world. Well this book has a new twist on the craze that made it great. Imagine Pacific Rim with zombies. The world was decimated but zombies but the humans have survived. Not only survived but are fighting back. Fighting back with 50 ton Mechs.What do you do when the human pilot driver dies and becomes a zombie?

ok, this book is a guilty pleasure. It's not an amazing book, but I loved it and devoured it. It covers all kinds of genres, including post-apocalypse, zombies, mecha, military sci-fi, dystopian societies, and even some cyberpunk influence. And, of course, the most unique aspect, zombies driving mecha.If you are the type of person who loves a cheesy B grade action/sci-fi movie, then this book is the literary equal. It's not among the best, but its fast and fun and completely enjoyable as long as...

I wasn't sure I'd like it. I bought it, but had reservations. Mostly because I'm growing bored of the zombie thing, but when I saw it was zombies and mechs, I was curious.Curiosity rewarded! Great book, well worth the read, might even fall into the read again later category, it was that engaging.Even if you're (Like me) kinda over zombies, go get this awesome book.

Well, this was a fun and different book. It's written in 100 word paragraphs, but it's strung together to create a novel. Zombies have taken over the world, and to fight them, the UNC developed Mechs to fight them. Unfortunately, because even the living can turn into zombies once they die, it's possible for a Mech pilot to become a zombie inside his mech. So this is the story of a Mech base, that fights zombie hordes and Dead Mechs, the pilots who use them, the support personnel, and the Mech Ai...

It's not often I get emotional about characters in books, but the Boss and Bishop riled me up. I could not wait to see what happened to them at the end. I have not been a big fan of Zombies novels they tend to read like call of duty zombie mode, no story just survival constant from hordes. This book read like a movie, Jake's writing style is unique, you have no choice but to feel and cheer for each member of the team.

I will admit that I was a little hesitant to read this series. I enjoyed the hell out of the Z-Burbia series so I don't know why I was so reluctant to pick another of his series up but I am glad I did. This was a different take on Zombies. A look at what things could be like in the future after all hell has broken loose. I am very much looking forward to the rest of the series.

OH. MY. GAWD. This was SO good! Not only do we have Mech pilots that integrate with their machines to create kick-ass zombie fighting machines, we also have dead mechs thrown into the mix - pilots that died while still connected to their mechs, and now wander the landscape causing general mayhem. But then get this, the mechs are also suddenly becoming self aware, creating the first true AI’s! I love the brutality of the action sequences, and Bible doesn’t flinch away when it comes to shocking sc...

I purchased this book a couple of years ago and it got lost in my kindle among my other stories. I just found it yesterday and read it. The Blub about the book says, "Dead Mech is a zombie-filled, post-apocalyptic, military scifi, mech action/adventure novel like no other!" It is not lying! This book had so much stuff going on. The beginning of the book was a bit slow and awkward, but as the book continues, it gets filled with action, humor, zombies, horrir, crazies, heroes, love, sacrifice, and...

Plenty of zombie & mech action in this one. Overall I would say 3.5 stars. A tad confusing because the story switches between characters points of view so rapidly. You'll be zipping along reading about one set of characters over here and the next paragraph the story switches to over there and another set of characters. But, I got used to it. Love several of the characters, probably Harlow (she is one tough character & very handy with swords) the best of the bunch. I'll check into the other two b...

I liked the story. I liked the Mechs and the Zombies. The language was a bit much for me. In the Afterword/Q&A, the author makes no apologies for, and even defends, his overuse of cursing. I think it would've still been a good story had the author made an attempt to tone it down a little. Just my $0.02. Thanks for the story, Jake.

I made it 30% through this novel. To start the characters, one and all, were insufferable. None were believable and many including the leader were completely incompetent. The Outpost, is framed as being some sort of military base but instead is complete chaos. True leadership is almost non-existent and the relationship between the main characters is more one of a bunch of young school children than one of fellow soldiers. The author switches between points of view with insane frequency and usual...

Man and mech.Jake Bible is the drabble master! I've never read a book before that was written this way and it's pretty awesome. I loved all the characters, including the mechs. The story was really exciting with man and machine united against an array of enemies, even the ending was thrilling with a bit of a cliffhanger to have your heart pounding.
