About this ebook
CIA black ops agent Chad Halverson escapes plague- and zombie-ravaged Santa Monica with dress designer Victoria Brady and sets sail up the smoldering California coast straight into the jaws of great white sharks and shoals of zombies.
Fighting for their lives, Halverson and Brady rescue the idealistic Dr. Parnell, the cynical reporter Blake Reno, and the UCSB coed Brittany Pine, who is in a state of shock induced by the loss of her boyfriend to the walking dead.
Together, the five survivors must decide how to cope with the flesh eaters. Are the infected really dead or are they merely sick and therefore curable? Halverson leads the faction of the group that believes the infected must be destroyed, while Parnell comes to the opposite conclusion, unwilling to believe that zombies can actually exist.
Whether the infected can be cured or not, the five survivors must find refuge. They seek sanctuary from the infected in Alcatraz prison, which, they discover, is free of the flesh eaters. However, all is not as it seems on the island haven at the Rock.
In fact, they may have more to fear than the walking dead in the person of Alcatraz's reigning "Chosen One," the charismatic proponent of law and order Jefferson Bascomb, who believes zombies have the right to a fair trial and who will stop at nothing to impose his will on the island.
"'Sanctuary in Steel' is up there with the best of the zombie stories in terms of plotting and pacing, propelled by great characters and unique twists."--Reviewed by Lit Amri for Readers' Favorite

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I would call this a paranormal/science fiction novel that revolves around the war against zombies. This is the third book in the Chad Alverson Zombie Apocalypse series. Now, I haven't read the others, so I can only judge the series off this one book alone, that is until I read the other two before it.What's a better idea than having the book set at Alcatraz in San Francisco. No one can come in and no one can get out. It was an old military prison, that is isolated on an island out side of the San Francisco city. Once you start this book, you won't want to put it down. Bryan Cassiday really grabs you and holds you into this book all the way to the end.The main characters were amazingly written. They team up together, a CIA agent, and a reporter, to be complete bad asses. Along the way they pick up stragglers and remain almost like the leaders of the group.In current times, zombies are all the rage, and I'm sure this book will be loved by many. The writing is fast paced, the dialogue matches the intensity of the situation, and the setting could not be better. Not to mention the characters of the story, which can almost be called heroes. I give this book 5/5.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book comes after Zombie Necropolis and is in fact even better if you can believe that. CIA Chad Halverson and Victoria Brady are back and sail up the calfornia coast. Along the way they pick up some survivors and head for the island of Alcatraz to seek refuge from the flesh eating zombies. What they discover is who would they rather battle....the walking dead or the "Chosen One" and his followers on the island. Fast paced and gripping, leaves you wanting more. You can't put this book down and walk away. I won this from LibraryThing Members Giveaway and I highly recommend this book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book! This book is very well-written and engaging. The story is unique within the zombie genre. I found the story to be gripping and I couldn't stop reading.
