Surviving the Evacuation: Outback Outbreak: Surviving the Evacuation
by Frank Tayell
It’s been six years since Pete Guinn last saw his sister, Corrie. He always hoped to see her again, but feared she was dead. When an elusive billionaire reveals Corrie is living under an assumed name in the Australian outback, Pete unquestioningly jumps at the chance of a reunion. But you can’t win the lottery without buying a ticket, and billionaires don’t do favours for free. Corrie is in hiding from her old employer, and from the Rosewood Cartel. Now that they’ve both found her, only a miracle can save the two siblings, and what happens in Manhattan can’t be described as miraculous.
What begins as a viral outbreak soon turns into an impossible horror. People are infected and die, only to rise up and continue transmitting the infection. Even as the army is mobilised, the virus spreads beyond the borders of the United States. Nowhere is safe from the living dead.
As Australia is quarantined, the mining town of Broken Hill becomes a transit hub for the relief effort. Tourists are evacuated while civilians are conscripted, Pete and Corrie among them. Together with a bush pilot, a flying doctor, and an outback cop, the struggle to maintain civilisation begins. Supplies run low. Looting is rampant. Laws are forgotten, especially by the cartel who haven’t abandoned their search for Corrie and their quest for revenge.
Set in Broken Hill and beyond as the Australian quarantine begins.
As this book returns to the beginning of the outbreak, it can be considered a good entry point for readers new to the series.

Fantastic job, like the characters and I find it really cool that Pete lived in Indiana which is where I live at, so this even makes the book better in my opinion. Really hoping to see if there is another story to come, hope it doesn't leave hanging.
It’s a good start to a book. I can’t wait for the next one
I love the people in this world FT has built. I can’t wait for my next fix. I have to go download another book right now.
Love this series. Can’t put it down. I hate to see them end and then a side story pops up. Thank you for adding to this series.
This was a terrible book...it was admittedly formulaic- but managed to be BAD at being formulaic. The dialog was appalling and the storyline was implausible at best. You wouldn't have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy this story...you'd have to build a gallows and HANG it.
I love the change of scenery while keeping a little part (character) in the story line. More of the same people adapting to a greatly different way of living, surviving!
It was good to get back to Tayell's zombie apocalypse. An entirely new group of people but still a familiarity to make you invested in their story. Now there are two more locations I'm needing to know what's happening. Once again, can't wait for the next book.
