A trilogy of the zombie apocalypse. My favorite is the second (Monster Island…which was actually written first.) They border on the fantasy side, but don’t travel that road too far. I prefer my zombies a little less…intelligent. But they have a scientific reason for why some of them keep their minds, while the vast majority don’t. I really like the image of Central park in New York chewed down to mud. If there is no meat, they will eat anything living, including trees, grass, like locusts. I especially like the Somali girl warriors. Apparently the only governments that survive to any degree, are the ones born of warlord regimes and coups. Third world countries are the only ones capable on dealing with the extremities of living on a Zombie plague world. Cool idea, pretty good execution, but don’t expect the level of interest of Brooks’ book. The second book acts well as a stand alone if you aren’t ready for three.
