Synopsis
In New York City the dead walk the streets, driven by an insatiable hunger for all things living. One among their hordes is different: though he shares their appetites he has retained his human intelligence. Alone among the mindless zombies, Gary Fleck is an eyewitness to the end of the world. From the other side of the planet a small but heavily-armed group of young girls turned soldiers has come in search of desperately needed medicine. Dekalb, a former UN weapons inspector, will lead them as their local guide. Ayaan, a crack shot at the age of sixteen, will stop at nothing to complete her mission. They think they are prepared for anything. On Monster Island they will find that there is something worse even than undeath...while Gary learns the true price of survival.
Customer Reviews
The Killing Joke
I bought this book on the strenght of all the good reviews it got...
But it seems these people were playing a cunning trick and the joke is on me for buying this novel.
It bored the life out of me!
Missed a triack
This book annoyed the hell out of me, Why travel all the way to New York, when you could easily reach Greece,Italy, France, Spain or UK in a couple of days by boat????
Shame there was a half-decent story in there waiting to come out, spoilt by that huge plot hole, A Scottish Bog Mummy and a giant Zombie.
Loved it.
I don't often review books, but I'll make an exception here.
I saw this book a few times, read the cover then put it back. There was something about school girl zombie killers that put me off. But eventually I caved in and I brought it.
I really enjoyed it and found it to be a real page turner. I normally only read on the train to/from work but I finished this off on a Saturday afternoon. My only disappointment was it was a short book (379 pages). But every page was interesting.
So, great book, really looking forward to reading the next one, and don't be put off by the school girl zombie killers. It makes perfect sense.
