About

Affliction Z is a post-apocalyptic series written by L.T. Ryan, the bestselling author of the Jack Noble novels (Suspense Thrillers).

The first book in the Affliction Z series, Patient Zero, takes place eight years in the past. The second book takes place “now”, and follows four characters through the events of a zombie apocalypse. There are at least 2 more books in the series planned, as well as spin off novellas and novels.

The stories are fast-paced and thrilling. There is plenty of action, and a healthy dose of blood and gore. But behind the stories there is much, much more.

    L.T. Ryan - October 4, 2014 Reply

    The second book, Affliction Z: Abandoned Hope, is available for purchase at Amazon, Apple, B&N, etc. Those who sign up for the newsletter receive a complimentary copy of The Sickness of Ron Winters, an Affliction Z story. If you singed up, you should have been directed to the download page for that story.

Merry Christmas! Just wanted to tell you how very much I enjoy this series….lots of “edge of your seat” action! This is a fantastic series-I’m really hoping it’ll continue on for quite a few more books cause I’m definitely hooked lol. A few years ago I thought to try out a new genre -so I bought my first zombie action thriller – and boy am I ever glad I did! Zombies are a blast -so gruesome and with such an enormous “yuck” factor you cant help but love it – lmao It’s always such an absolute treat for me when I “discover” another new author to add to my reading list so when I happened upon the Affliction series I was overjoyed. Looking forward to the next book….I bought and read the latest in one go it was that good…..

    I have a lot planned for the Affliction Z world, including some stories that don’t include Sean and Turk.

Lance - February 23, 2015 Reply

Over the last week I have read about 7 different zombie books and this is the only one I have not been able to put down and wanted to buy the series. Thank you and I look forward to the 4th book!

    We’re moving in a couple weeks, so that is drastically slowing things down. Hoping that once we are in the new house I’ll wrap this one up!

Which comes to this…….You better finish the 4th book ASAP. I can’t wait. I’ve read alot in this genre and I can tell you that I loved your books the best. Thanks again and keep up the good writing.

I don’t read many books, at all. But I was bored during a military exercise and downloaded your first book. Well, I couldn’t put it down, then got the next 2. Waiting on the fourth now. I read more books on that exercise than I have in the last 5 years. Well done sir. Well done.

    Glad to hear that you have enjoyed them! I’m working on book four and hope to have it finalized soon!

Hi , please, please can you tell me when book 4 will be released, my husband and I are desperate for the excitement to continue. Jackie

    L.T. Ryan - March 14, 2016 Reply

    Working on it! Had a few setbacks this past year, but things are in full go mode now! I expect book 4 to be ready this summer.

Emi - March 4, 2016 Reply

Hi there! I just finished the 3rd book of z! You do a great job! I hope you’re still working on the 4th because I can’t take another dying saga like GoT ;]. I’ve read countless z style stories but yours is very in tune with the survivor’s side of it & I love it. When the apocalypse hits, it’s not just about what caused it; it’s also about who’s left and how to deal with them. Can’t wait till book 4! Thank you!

    L.T. Ryan - March 14, 2016 Reply

    I am working on it! Don’t worry, the series will not die out. Just been “that kinda year” around here. I am working on multiple projects and getting everything into a funnel for release. Expect book 4 this summer. Glad you have enjoyed it thus far!

Ken Payne - March 18, 2016 Reply

Have read all the jack noble books and the Clarissa Abbott book. Just finished the third book in the afflicted z series. Have loved all of them. Can’t wait to read more of any of them.
