I was about a quarter of the way through this novel when I realised that there were was more to it than initially met the eye, so I went back to the beginning and paid more attention to what I was reading.
Told in a ‘documentary’ format, this could have been any war in history that was being discussed and dissected. Told by various survivors it covers the initial source of the zombie infection, the inability of governments to act on the intelligence given and the how the aftermath of the plague was being handled ten years later.
The enemy in all wars is given a nickname ie Jerry for the Germans and in this case the zombie is known as Zack by the defending forces. The dialogue used by the military interviewees really made this story feel believable!
Overall, I thought it was an intelligent well thought out novel, and definitely a stand out in this genre.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.
