Book 1: Becoming

Jake Talon and his brother Aaron grew up in the zombie apocalypse. All they have ever known is a world constantly threatened with extinction from the undead hordes which roamed the land. Taught by their father to survive and live, the two men drift, unsure of their future. As Jake and Aaron try to figure out what they were meant to do with this world of theirs, someone has plans to bring the zombies back.

Generation Dead marks the beginning of an exciting new stand alone series from Joseph Talluto and takes place some 20 years after the conclusion of The White Flag of the Dead series.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

A lifelong reader and sometime writer of short stories and poems, Joseph Talluto has read nearly every genre existing. Exploring several career options, he chose teaching and after spending ten years as an educator and administrator, he has written his first series, White Flag of the Dead. The independently published first work was picked up by Severed Press, which now will include 11 books in the series. The original series, White flag of the Dead, chronicles the attempt by John Talon to come to terms with the rise of the dead and the destruction of the world as he knew it. Generation Dead, a series about the children who grew up in the Upheaval, continues the White Flag of the Dead world. The Zombie Wars, fills in the gap where John and the crew set out to try and rid the country of the threat of the zombies. The final chapter of the White Flag of the Dead series should be available before the end of 2015.

Once again Talluto creates a great story. This was a good build up to another series. Expecting great things! This book would not be a good read if u haven't read the whole White Flag of the Dead series so I highly recommend u start at the beginning.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Post-Zompocalyptic Sort of Wild West
Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2015

This is set in the period following the zombie apocalypse, when a basic sort of civilization has been re-established but is struggling. Technology has definitely not made a full comeback and while cars are in use there are no cell phones or Internet. Zombies are still a real threat and in certain zones they reign largely uncontested over cities or towns. There are crude measures in place to contain the zombie menace but outbreaks still happen occasionally and people are constantly vigilant. Law and order have been established on the model of the old American West, with a town sherif and deputies. This is an interesting world. The current moment is definitively set within the context of the history of the outbreak, the wars waged against the zombies, and the effort to re-establish society.

The characters are pretty interesting - professional collectors who make runs into zombie controlled zones to retrieve things that customers have hired them to find (mementos, guns, technology etc.) This means danger and plenty of zombie fighting. The main characters have been well trained for the job by their parents who were prominent zombie fighters in the war against the undead that helped get humanity back on its feet. They are proficient, tough, and take no crap from the living or the dead.

As they return to the human populated towns between collecting runs they begin to encounter increasing conflict with an unsavory element of society.... Civilization appears to be in danger of starting a slow slide back toward lawlessness. In a world that is as full of saloon fights and weapon-toting tough guys as any Colorado mining town during a gold rush in the 1800's, the protagonists end up in a lot of face offs with the local thugs.

The plot moves along at a decent pace and there is some edgy tension between a couple of the characters right from the start, which makes things interesting. There were some events that seemed to be setting up the delivery of an interesting twist or a dramatic reveal of new information but were then glossed over, which was a bit puzzling. However, overall it was a good story. A word of caution for the more particular reader here: if bad grammar tends to take you out of the moment, then this may be a little bit of a bumpy ride for you.

Bottom line: good zombie fiction covering a post-zombie-plague period that is interesting and not that common in zombie novels. Good action and a plot that looks to be going somewhere mean I will be collecting the sequel.

Okay, we have come to an end with the John Talon Series(WFOTD) and it was just starting to get worn out(I love them but John did just about all of it), but then J. Talluto busts this spin off out and it starts again. This book is an awesome read. Left with another cliff hangar, I am eagerly waiting for the next book in this series.

A fantastic series of zombie books with likeable and believeable characters that continue to evolve. I certainly look forward to many more from Mr. Talluto. They are quite riveting and have it all. They just don't get written fast enough for me. Many thanks Mr. Talluto.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great beginning, but too short
Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2013

I've read the entire White Flag of the Dead series and loved every single book. I'm glad to see what the kids have grown up to be and how the next generation is living. Lots of interesting questions still to be answered, of course, but the story is sure to be an exciting one. I wish that the books were a little longer, though. The first one in the series was 232 pages and then they dropped from there. I like a long story and I hate it when it ends before you feel like you've even started. Does it make make me want to read the next one? Yes, but the short stories are starting to get a little old. I'd rather have more pages and less books.

What a terrific way to continue the legacy John and Charlie. I loved how he wrote from the POV of Aaron. It is a bit eerie how much this character is like his father in thought and in action. The mentions of the Zombie Wars and my curiosity of what happened to Sarah, Rebecca, Tommy and Duncan grew as they were mentioned but not seen in the novel. I look forward to any future books that tell us what happened and what will happen in the future! Keep up the great work JT!

5.0 out of 5 stars Dear Mr. Talluto

PLEASE just write the next book already!
For some reason I thought that this would be the complete story of "what happened next" and that John and Sarah and the boys and all their friends (who were still alive) would be peacefully living in their "Happy Ever After" and then it stopped - just like that, with cliff hangers, and loose ends, and things I NEED to know.
"Generation Dead" was every bit as good as the "White Flag" series, and they are some of my favourite Zombie books of all time (and goodness knows, I've read a few :D)
The characters of Jake and Aaron are so well done, I found myself thinking "ooo just like his Daddy" at several points - even though they are all fictional, they ARE John Talon's sons - and when I thought about it, I can't recall another author who has done this so well - we just KNOW Jake and Aaron will be worthy sons of John and I for one am desperate to know what happens next...

Another brilliant installment of the Flag of the Dead....several years on and it is now the turn of Jake and Aaron to put civilisation back on course. This is a brilliant book yet again. It starts full pelt and on the run from a hoard of zombies and I didn't want it to end when it did, I'm willing Joseph Talluto to WRITE FASTER!!! As with the previous books, I just need to know what is going to happen next. The writing style of this series seems to have got better as they have progressed becoming tighter in narration and vocabulary. The only annoying thing is the number of spelling mistakes on the Kindle edition.

As expected, John Tallon's boys, Arron and Jake are as bad-ass as their father and seem set to leave behind, if not as much then maybe more of a trail of dead (again) zombies in their paths!

I still find myself ducking out of kindle to google the place names mentioned and the gun models used by the characters. Just to get to know them even more.

Really really impressed with this new movement and not surprised that I loved every bit of it.

Keep up the good work JT!

Having read the rest of the White Flag series I thought I might try this one as well, and I wasn't dissapointed. It's nice to see that John Tallon's son is a survivor just like his dad, as everything that John did in the series was for his son's future.

I do hope that this is going to be another long running series, especially the way this book ends, and I'm wondering if the old man will make an apperance at some point, who knows? Perhaps Mr Talluto does...

Getting a little annoyed now, the books and stories are good, well written, this one didn't have any horrendous mistakes in it, but I'm getting annoyed with getting half a book, the last series wftd maws 6 books but was really 4 normal sized novels. I just about get into this and enjoy the characters and its finished, no climax, just a punch up and I turn the page and THE END waiting for me. Still worth reading but I would wait until you can buy book 1 and 2 at the same time. 11% of this was the free sample of another novel. Sort thismout
