2010 post apocalyptic action/adventure, which is about as close as I've ever come to seeing the author David Gemmell's character of Jon Shannow (aka The Jerusalem Man) on screen!

Let's see the similarities:

Post apocalyptic? Check.
Essentially a Western? Check.
Lone survivor wandering the plains/roads? Check.
Said survivor looking for redemption? Check.
Whilst carrying/quoting from a Bible? Check.
Gunfights and bar-room brawls? Check.

Yes, there are differences - including a very big reveal at the end - but, all in all, there are a heck of a lot of similarities ...

Post-apocalyptic conclusion to the trilogy, where vampires now rule, the nuclear cloud allowing them to move around in the daytime. An interesting take as small groups of humans then start to rebel against their overlords and refuse to be farmed.

I love a good apocalyptic saga and this didn't disappoint. King develops believable and realistic characters who you want to follow to the end of the earth, and you do.

A very good post apocalyptic vampire film. It has a raw indie film feel to it and hasn't got much advertising, in the UK at least. It is very entertaining, if simple in idea but well executed. Reminded me of the Walking Dead crossed with Near Dark.

This is a slow burn romance set after the end of the world. The way the two main characters meet and how their relationship develops makes this a different spin on the typical dystopian novel. This will appeal to both fans of post apocalyptic and lesbian fiction.

Loving a world in a post apocalyptic setting
The only complaint was the main story quest above that everything was pretty fun.

A well envisioned post apocalyptic world. The goal is survival and the plot keeps you moving on a quick pace with lulls long enough for you to catch your breath. The characters are developed and really drive the story. I am looking forward to more books in this series.

Found it a little confusing in the beginning but soon got into it. I do enjoy Rebecca Zanetti's work, her characters are good and the description of post apocalyptic LA makes you feel as if your there. Roll on September for book 2 in The Scorpius Syndrome Series

The Walking Dead
2010 | Drama, Horror
One of the best shows on TV in recent years
An apocalyptic drama that finally ticks all the right boxes. The 'zombies' (walkers, lamebrains, whatever you want to call them) are realistically frightening (not either dragging their heels or moving at super-human speed), already achieving what so many in the genre fail to do - a terror we can actually relate to. Enhanced further by (generally) realistic post-apocalyptic situations and dilemmas, the drama is able to develop characters with ferocious intensity.

This show keeps me on the edge of my seat and has me genuinely invested in its key players. There's nothing out there quite like it - it's a uniquely brilliant experience.
