Relentlessly fast paced zombie fest!
This book starts in the thick of action and never lets up until the end. It's all about one cop's journey from one end of an infection, zombie ridden city, to the other to find his family. The zombies are the classic 'Romero' type.
I was disappointed with the ending as there was no surprise but the rest of the book is totally action orientated and as you finish one chapter, you have to start the next. Good page burner.

Very Good indeed
The last 4 zombie novels I read before this one were pretty average. So I did not have high expectations when I started this book.
I was very much suprised and thrilled when I got into this one, it is a cracking Zombie book.
Because I like my zombies the old fashioned shambling way, fiction can be very hit or miss, but this is one is a cracking read.
Top stuff

Fairly typical zombie uprising
Although I enjoyed this book and I think it's well written, it's not very original and that's why it only gets 4 stars. The story consists of a police officer making his way through San Antonio via various encounters with zombies along the way in an attempt to reach his family. The zombies are the classic dim-witted slow dead people type zombies, allowing the hero to take on hordes of them by himself or with small groups of survivors that he encounters along the way.

None of this is a bad thing as there is enough action to keep the story going. Some of the scenes are a little unrealistic, but then how realistic is a zombie pandemic anyway? I personally found the ending refreshing, even if it isn't particularly logical.
