Reviews for TOOTH AND NAIL:

 

"This book does for the zombie genre what Black Hawk Down did for modern war journalism, and that is high praise indeed. Tooth and Nail kept me reading all night long, and I think it'll keep you glued to the page as well. This one is a spectacular achievement."

 -Joe McKinney, author of Dead City and Apocalypse of the Dead

 

"If you’re a lover of zombie fiction in any way, shape or form, I urge you to pick up Tooth and Nail by Craig DiLouie ... I can’t recommend Tooth and Nail highly enough. It’s a truly unique and refreshingly different approach to a familiar story which works on many levels."

 -David Moody, author of Hater, Dog Blood and Autumn

 

"Craig DiLouie is the David Drake of zombies ... Tooth and Nail is now among my top three favorite Z books of all time. If you like zombies and haven't read this, you owe it to yourself to do so."

 -Eric S. Brown, author of Bigfoot War

 

"Tooth and Nail is a blistering fast military-focused thrill ride into the apocalypse."

 -Patrick D'Orazio, author of Comes The Dark

 

"TOOTH AND NAIL is one of the best zombie novels of 2010 if not one of the best zombie novels ever written ... In both its premise and its execution, TOOTH AND NAIL will put your heart through a meat grinder."

 -The Zed Word Zombie Blog

 

"Can someone please explain to me why Craig DiLouie isn’t more of a household name? … TOOTH AND NAIL, his story of an Army platoon stranded in New York City as a virus that turns ordinary citizens into mindless killing machines, is gritty, violent, addictive and utterly realistic … a thrill ride that grows in intensity with each page up to the shattering climax."

 - BuyZombie.com

 

"A real action-packed, tension-building ride that refuses to let you put the book down … I cannot recommend TOOTH AND NAIL highly enough and it’s one of those rare books I will read again and again. Go out and get a copy now. You won't regret it."

 -Garry Charles, Shock Horror Magazine

 

"There are few pieces of zomfic that have ever truly moved me as effectively as TOOTH AND NAIL ... breathtaking action, emotive character studies and a plot that will keep the reader on the edge ... I'm hereby making the call: Craig DiLouie is an author with an incredible future ahead of him, and one whose publications are now and forever on my 'must read' list."

 -Chuck McKenzie, NecroScope

 

"PLATOON meets OUTBREAK with a little end of the world as an icing. The book had a breakneck pace and a crisis around every corner ... TOOTH AND NAIL is a very skillfully written, suspenseful and thrilling novel."

 -LivingDeadMedia.com

 

"You’ll feel as if you’re an embedded part of the platoon ... This book should be on the bookshelf of any zombie or military action fan ..."

 -WeZombie.com

 

"TOOTH AND NAIL is a brilliant little novel."

 -SwedishZombie.com

 

"I have no problem recommending this one."

 -Brian King for Armchair General Magazine

 

"A fast-paced story with enough bloody action to satisfy even the most jaded of zombie fans ... It's also a story which successfully captures the best and worst of war."

-Chuck Gould's review for Horror Bound Magazine

 

"By this time next year, another dozen zombie novels will have been published, but none will probably be as good and ultimately satisfying as Craig DiLouie's new novel Tooth and Nail. It's the Black Hawk Down of the zombie genre. It's that good."

-Kyle Mizokami's review for WarisBoring.com

 

"To those who do not like to read zombie-like books on the basis that they are not tautly written, not well researched, or have poor character development, I would say to read Tooth and Nail and prepare to eat your words."

-Deirdre Crimmins for Open Letters Monthly: An Arts and Literature Review

 

 "This book ... makes you feel like you are in the middle of the action ... The zombie action is intense ... It's a great novel and I highly recommend the read!"

 -Rhonny Reaper's review on Dollar Bin Horror

 

"The story is fantastically gritty, emotionally charged, and brings up many of those oh so fascinating psychological implications of people trying to survive an event of this nature."

 -AWilltoAct.com

 

"Take the outbreak stage of The Stand, but tweak the super flu to act more like the Rage virus from 28 Days Later and extend the incubation period of the virus to a few hours. Then shrink the perspective down to a single company of U.S. Army infantry, and place them in the center of New York City ... What follows makes for a very, very good book ... I fully enjoyed almost everything about this book."

 -Megat0n.com and QuietEarth.us

 

"I was pretty much hooked from the get-go. I couldn't put it down ... The story is superbly written, fast-paced and very engaging ... I highly suggest picking it up if you're a fan of horror. It's a great apocalyptic tale that kept me reading ..."

 -Zombie Apocalypse Preparation

 

"Craig DiLouie is an impressive storyteller ... Craig grabbed my attention on page one and never let me get away ... Every page of his story seems completely real. Every confrontation seems both immediate and critical to the reader."

 -Author Rick Moore for The Writer and the White Cat

 

"It quickly become a favorite ... The action scenes were also amazingly written. When the military first fired on a group of infected, my heart raced. I really fell into the moment. This book does come very close to being perfect..."

 -Lyle Perez for Undead In The Head

 

"DiLouie's Army is detailed and believable. The reader feels as if she is there with the soldiers, often with grim humor, as they struggle to fulfill their orders amid chaos and panic. I won't be surprised when I hear this book has been picked up for a movie ..."

 -Pris Sears for Brautigan's Toothbrush

 

"What a great rush ... Tooth and Nail is a very effective story of humanity toppling over the edge and falling toward an uncertain future. Gritty and violent, it molds itself to the zombie apocalypse well and makes for a great read."

 -A Life in the Day

 

"I found myself totally wrapped up in the story, and putting it down was harder than with most books I've read of late ... I really didn't want to put the book down. 'Just one more chapter ...'"

 -Thomas Duff for Duffbert's Random Musings

 

"DiLouie's thoughtful and unusual approach to the material had me turning pages ... Fans of zombie fiction will find Tooth and Nail to be a satisfying read with plenty of action. Recommended."

 -The Monster Librarian

 

"‘Tooth and Nail is an intense and disturbing read ... an apocalypse that is suitably dark and bloody."

 -Graeme's Fantasy Book Reviews

 

"The book is very realistic in its approach to the life of the foot soldier ... Check this one if you are a fan of ... gritty military zombie fiction."

 -Mihir Wanchoo for The Fantasy Book Critic
