Review: I've been waiting to read this for awhile and I was not disappointed. It may be a zombie novel but it plays out as a cat and mouse chase story. The cat being a horde of ravenous intelligent zombies, of course. This is a great story of redemption, heroics and what it means to be human, all the elements of a great novel. I enjoyed the characters and every scene of survivors and their attempts at creating a pocket of civilization in the midst of chaos.
Else was awesome. A cross between Leeloo from 5th Element and River Tam from Firefly. She was a perfect mix of innocence and warrior. It was great to see her grow as an individual. I am excited that her adventure does continue in the sequel.
I am happy to report that this book did not disappoint. It is a well executed adventure in the outback.
