The Complete Set of Toward the Brink

Toward the Brink 1 The unthinkable happens, the world collapses and the dead walk the streets.

Toward the Brink 2 A small group fights for survival as the government in Washington struggle to respond.

Toward the Brink 3 All the major players converge in the same spot... the result is not good.

Toward the Brink 4 As Elliot heads back to the mainland on a suicide mission, hope for the survivors surfaces—literally.

Toward the Brink 5 A new destination and hope for the survivors beckons but there are a few left behind. Can they hold out and make it to the promised land?

An unforgettable trek across a desolate and dangerous landscape, where tensions rise and trust is tested, forcing the survivors to confront their darkest fears and deepest secrets.

Full of heart-pumping action, gripping suspense, and unforgettable characters, this thrilling post-apocalyptic tale will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Will Elliot, Chuck, and their fellow survivors make it to safety, or will they fall victim to the ruthless Undead?

Only time will tell.

It just didn’t really do it for me and I can’t figure out if it was the narrater and the voices he did or the badly written women and their lust for men, or maybe because it became less about ‘foamers’ and more a bit of a soap opera. The foamers seemed to stay in the background a lot and were just a background threat. I couldn’t get past book three. I feel like if I powered on through to book 5 I’d be annoyed I bothered

Goodish

I enjoyed the first couple of books.

the good: Has a nice pace to it. No character appears to be safe. The back story is interesting. Couple of strong likeable characters. the story kept my attention.

The bad: the female characters leave much to be desired, weak whinging and ridiculous at times.
the 3 condom comment made me want to vomit. Just the most stupid thing ive ever heard.
great characters can make you hate them by the way their written. but this book has characters that make you hate them because they are so unrealistic, one dimensional and when they pop up they just ruin your enjoyment of the story as their irrelevant.

I personally hoped for a terrible slow death for Cindy, she started so strong defending herself from a bad cop then lost half her IQ and popped up every now and again to make me want to vomit with her ridiculous lines.

If you're a fan of fast-paced, high-stakes apocalyptic fiction with a twist you haven’t seen before, Toward the Brink is a must-read. It's smart, visceral, and surprisingly thought-provoking. McDonough doesn’t just take you to the brink—he throws you over the edge and makes you love the fall.

Kept me hooked !
