I will say that it took me three tries to actually read the book, simply because I kept getting distracted by other things. Both times I'd tried reading it before, I was still in college and in all honesty, I just didn't have time to read for pleasure while still in school. So being that I'm out of school and have been reading like wildfire again, I decided to try it out. I started it over from the beginning and finished it in one sitting. Yep, it's that good.
The book is only about 166 pages long (according to my Kindle for iPad app anyway) but that doesn't stop it from being a great read. I'm constantly floored by how many different ways there are to do zombies - and I have to say, L. T. Ryan's way is not only interesting but it's also eerily realistic. I'm not going to say how the zombies get that way, you'll have to read the book for yourself, but I'm betting you'll find it just as eerie.
Sean Ryder is easily my favorite character - the fact that he's an Air Force Special Forces doesn't hurt at all. You get just enough background about him to understand what would drive him to survive and that's all you really need. Complicated backstories aren't necessary here. The book was very well thought out and very well written.
I understand there are two more books in the series, which I am definitely going to have to look into obtaining because I need to know what happens next.
A solid 5 star read - this is one zombie thriller you won't want to miss.
