Review: Infected Planet by Dennis Yates @YatesScribe

Synopsis: A trio of outlaws are released from an orbiting prison and sent back to their home planet. The catch? Find the president's missing son, and you’ll be pardoned by the Federation.

Welcome to the desert planet of Lazarus, the hottest place in the universe inhabited by humans. It’s not only the heat that will kill you. Lazarus is also home to a spectrum of deadly creatures who have clawed out a living in the harsh desert, and they don’t take kindly to visitors. Not to mention the gangs of vicious bandits roving the land in search of anyone to kill and steal from.

As descendants of tough pioneers who first colonized Lazarus -- Jade, Ramos and Brand use their skills and knowledge to navigate a world now being ravaged by a zombie virus.

Review: This is a zombie story, need I say more? I went in knowing this and so was not disappointed. Neither should you if you choose to read this and please do if your a fan of the genre. Yates' writing style is fairly cliche due to the natural of zombies. There are some points in the narrative that really confused me. I think Yates is trying to be funny, witty, comedic? If so, he gives no indication by the narration or dialogue that the character is be wise ass. It just comes off weird. For instance, two characters quickly jump from trying to kill one another to politely introducing themselves.

Not a lot of instances of this but enough for me to mention to you dear reader. I can over look these hiccups and just embrace the zombie chase and I believe so could you. Check it out if the genre is to your taste...for brains.
