Readers are saying:

"Wonderful! Really, this is first rate. I enjoyed the zombie story, the excitement, real life drama and the historical "stuff" all intertwined. It is not your typical zombie book in that there was a lot more to all the running, gore and zombie brains. Not that I don't love all that but it really makes it much more interesting with a bit more depth."

"TERRIFIC READ...Very, very good zombie/end of the world story. Well worth your time. One that I think about after -- a story that sticks with you. Really liked it."

"A real surprise. I'm a fan of the genre but found that most of the new books I've read re-hash old materials, never exploring new ground. This was different and pleasingly so. The author gave depth to characters, invented historical clues to the plague and kept the pace moving quickly. My only negative comment would be the author introduced some plot points that could have been expanded greatly because there was still a lot of fertile ground. Like another reader, I was sorry it ended."
