In a desperate bid to take back the continental United States—where hordes of undead now dominate the ravaged human population—a Navy commander leads a global mission to the heart of the pandemic. Task Force Hourglass is humanity’s final hope, and his team’s agonizing decisions could mean living one more day—or surrendering to the eternal hell that exists between life and death.

Ratings and reviews

The first two books were great. This book moves away from a journal entry style of the first two, and that was disappointing. The ending isn't great, and feels like the author got bored, and just wrapped it up in a few pages to be done with it. The last few pages/chapters should have been a 4th book. That's how much information is skipped over in his rush to complete the story. Buy it if you've read the first two just to wrap up the story, but lower your expectations.

Been a fan since the release of the first book. Shattered Hourglass had some nice twists and good characters but jumped around a little bit too much. It felt rushed towards the end. Notice a few editing mistakes too. This book has a narrative very different from the previous two books (liked the first the best). I look forward to other books by J.L.Bourne.

I love the series.. Not sure y the zombies changed so much. 1 in 10 would have been fine. But they "upped the ante" too many times and characters could barely adjust.
