About the Author The first book Mark Rounds read, other than “See Spot Run” was “Rocketship Galileo” in the second grade. He was restricted from the library in the third grade because it was such a wondrous place, that he forgot to do his “real” homework. Things haven’t changed a great deal since then. Mark has been an Air Force officer fuzzing radars in B-52’s, a bouncer in some of Spokane’s least classy establishments, a consultant dealing with information technology, geek in a cube in a couple of .com’s, folk singer, and is currently faculty at the University of Idaho in Management Information Systems. He has published papers and conference proceedings in Geographical Information Systems, Grizzly Bear Habitat, and is currently working in Computer Security. Academically, Mark has a BS in Computer science from Montana State University in 1978, MBA from University of North Dakota in 1985, MS in Computer Science from Washington State University in 2000, and a PhD Candidate at the University of Idaho in 2014. Mark has promised his wife that he will enter into a 12 step program to kick his education habit. When he was younger and perhaps more foolish, he competed as an IPF power lifter and has a first ascent in Glacier Park on Red Rock Point. Mark’s current hobbies include Civil War Reenacting, Reading, Folk Guitar, competing in Practical Pistol meets, and cooking gourmet food for his wife of 37 years and 3 kids.

A convincing and disturbing Reality By Judith Rook In “Hell is Empty, and All the Devils Are Here” the very high quality of the writing is immediately attractive. Without doubt this is one of the better contemporary apocalyptic novels, with a storyline which presents an acceptable reality, leading to highly believable action. It is not a reality which one would wish to experience, in which a viral plague, produced and dispersed by a highly placed but unrevealed cabal, overturns the order of the world.It is well known that in such fictional situations the human spirit tends to rise and burn brightly in certain individuals. These become leaders, resolving the situation as best they can, and in “Hell is Empty” there is an abundance of such people, both male and female. They appear as strong individuals, but as characters in a novel, they are somewhat undeveloped. Perhaps this is to be expected. In an apocalyptic survival story, with a strong military colour, individual character growth will take second place to the action; and throughout the course of the book the inexorable development of the plague itself is the main focus of the storyline.The survivor characters are all firmly identified with the military and law enforcement arms of society. They are calm and resourceful. They are very knowledgeable and capable in all areas, from being able to produce the statistical information needed to understand the spread of the disease to the planting of home-made napalm bombs to protect their houses, not to mention fighting off bikie gangs. It is this reassuring quality which the author personifies in the chief character, Chad. It is a strength which carries him and his family, together with his equally capable and experienced friend, the somewhat enigmatic Dave, through the first stages of survival.Rounds knows what makes a compelling story. There is a villain, an unpleasant “spook”, high in the echelons of Homeland Security, the creature of the faceless evil. Macklin is a character equally as strong as those he opposes, and through him the author achieves a balance of understanding between how the forces of evil operate and how the forces of good get along in opposition.If the title of the novel has been taken from Act I of Shakespeare’s play “The Tempest”, another Shakespearean allusion can perhaps be seen at work in the action in general. In “Hamlet” Polonius advises his son to avoid getting into trouble but if he finds himself in it, he is to make sure that he gives a good account of himself. In this book the positive characters do exactly that. Although the infected plague victims act in a traditionally terrifying zombie-like manner without actually being corpses, the uninfected survivors manage to cope without sacrificing too much of their basic human generosity of spirit.The plot is tight and fast and the passing of time is handled very effectively through the use of datelines. If these had not been included it would be difficult to follow the events as they unfold in different places, but Rounds handles what is in fact a very tricky structural need with the aplomb of a multi-book author. One could wish that these prompts stood out a little more clearly within the text, but they are there, and they certainly help.The storyline and action are thoroughly authentic. From the first recognition of the plague, Rounds shows what happens in military emergency councils; he reveals the decisions which are made and the plans which are formed. It is quite clear that he intends to suggest that this fictional reality is very close to the reality we all know, and he is completely successful.Certain editorial errors which seem to identify many online independently published books can be overlooked in the face of Rounds’ accomplished achievement. In full command of a distinctive and persuasive writing style he has presented a knowledgeable, authentic, thoroughly interesting and possibly disturbing, story.“Hell is Empty and All the Devils Are Here” is highly recommended for general reading, even to those who may feel that stories of the apocalypse are not their preferred genre.Reviewed by Judith Rookhttps://www.facebook.com/JudithRookBooks

Best New Author By Karen Schwag Mark Rounds is one of the best new authors I've come across in quite some time.The whole zombie apocalypse theme usually has me rolling my eyes and reaching for a more realistic genre - involving vampires, time travelers, honest politicians or werewolves. This book really attempted to lay a believable foundation for the storyline. The author clearly did a great deal of research on medical, police and military protocols. I appreciated how his characters struggled with the ethics of decisions and the reality of dealing with what has the potential to be an extinction level event.What makes this book unique is that the reason for the plague is not left a complete mystery to the reader. In this book, unlike the rest of the zombie genre, we know this was a bioweapon and the manufacturers of this weapon are actively trying to stop those who have the potential to stop the plague. This book isn't just about the survival of specific characters, it's also a battle between good and intelligent evil.The characters are generally likeable. I particularly enjoyed the strong female characters and hope Mr. Rounds develops them even further in subsequent books. A great deal of the dialogue was clever and funny. I look forward to the next book and most definitely recommend this one.

Some authors, such as Carolyn Cherryh, seem to specialize in emotional stories or try to bring you into the minds of characters under great stress. Other authors follow the model of stories about intelligent people doing the best they can, such as Robert Heinlein's "Competent Man" - someone who knows enough to do most things well.Over the years I have found that I like books about intelligent people behaving logically more than those which deal with their emotional stress. The same characters and plot in different author's hands will produce very different stories. In this case Mark Rounds' characters have to work together to survive an impossible but credible situation. None of them are unbelievably good, and they have to combine their different strengths. While we see the physical and emotional stress they deal with, it's not the focus of the book. I didn't find myself muttering about their stupid decisions or wondering why they didn't ask obvious questions. Sometimes things work out with suspicious ease, but they make mistakes, plans don't always work, - then they pick themselves up and keep going.I enjoyed this, and am looking forward to the next book in the series.W.E.B Griffin fan's will follow Agent Macklin's career with interest.
