As I’ve said many times before these books on apocalyptic survival, also many of the zombie books, are not so much about the zombies or the devastating occurrence. The true story lies in the people affected by the apocalypse and their ability to survive and persevere throughout the ordeal. Excellent character development. I liked and was interested in the characters and wanted to know more about them. I am hoping this is a series and there are more books to come. The epilogue was extremely interesting. I missed something important there and I’ll have to go back to understand the connection. Well done Mr. Horton. I hope to hear more from you.
