Дэвид Муди - Screaming Eagles

The men of the 99th were eventually taken prisoner of war. The platoon was at one point lined up against a wall and thought they were going to be executed by the Germans. An officer intervened at the last minute and the men were spared. Most sat out the rest of the war in POW camps.

It was not until 1981 that this platoon received the recognition they deserved and were awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for extraordinary heroism.

While THE FRONT is a fictional story that involves real world events with zombies, I can’t ever say enough about the brave soldiers who fought in World War II.

I relied on a large number of history books for this novel and I encourage you to seek some of them out if you are interested in The Battle of the Bulge.

Timothy W. Longhas been writing tales and stories since he could hold a crayon and has read enough books to choke a landfill. Tim has a fascination with all things zombie, a predilection for weird literature, and a deep-seated need to jot words on paper and thrust them at people. Tim spent time in the US Navy, worked for a major game corporation, an aeronautics company, and he has been in the IT field for the last 15 years as an engineer before becoming a full time author. He is an active member of Horror Writers Association, SFWA, and International Thriller Writers.

Tim is the the author of 12 novels including the bestselling, AMONG THE LIVING, and the sequel AMONG THE DEAD. His other works include the zombie book BEYOND THE BARRIERS and the deserted island ‘zombedy’ THE ZOMBIE WILSON DIARIES, and his latest, the enormously successful Z-RISEN series of military styled zombie books.

Tim resides outside of Seattle where he spends time with his partner in crime, Amanda, as well as 2 children, 2 dogs of various sizes and dispositions, and a near constant supply of overpriced and overcooked coffee beans.

David Moodygrew up on a diet of trashy horror and pulp science fiction. He worked as a bank manager before giving up the day job to write about the end of the world for a living.

He has written a number of horror novels, including AUTUMN, which has been downloaded more than half a million times since publication in 2001 and spawned a series of sequels and a movie starring Dexter Fletcher and David Carradine.

Film rights to HATER were snapped up by Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, Pacific Rim) and Mark Johnson (Breaking Bad). Moody lives with his wife and a houseful of daughters and stepdaughters, which may explain his pre-occupation with Armageddon. Find out more about Moody:
