Toy Soldiers is a six-book zombie apocalypse series by Devon C. Ford, set in 1980s Britain. The period setting gives the books a different flavor from modern-day zombie fiction, stripping away smartphones and GPS and forcing the characters to rely on older technology and military hardware. The series kicks off with Apocalypse (2018) and runs through Annihilation (2020).
Ford’s military background shines through in the tactical detail of the series, with realistic depictions of how armed forces might respond to a sudden undead outbreak. The 1980s setting adds a layer of Cold War tension to the horror.
