Short Review: First Thing I have to say is >>> don't read the description <<< to many spoilers, gives away the story. Thankfully i didn't read it till i got on to post the review.The cover art is the weakest part of the whole book.  Well worth reading, i found myself looking for the 2nd book as soon as i finished the first. For a couple of bucks well worth it.More Detailed Review:Okay so that's the only negatives I have, I read a lot of zombie fiction , it just seems to be my goto genre right now, no idea why as I read across all types of books. One of the things to realize is with this segment of books(cheap/free kindle downloads) they are not going to have the editing and plot tightness that we see in major best selling authors works. ( however it stuns me with the number of errors creeping in to their work lately) However i'm not a grammar nazi, i can hardly string a complete sentence together myself, so I do really appreciate anyone willing to try. Enough of my ramblings , back on to the book itself.I thought i was going to have a hard time getting attached to the characters, but they weren't too stupid, yes you do have to suspend some disbelief, ( a friend of mine upon hearing about what types of books i was reading said to me "Well it is a little far fetched don't you think"- I just looked at him and said "NO...Really?") but the story works well for the most part, i find zombie fiction spends way too much time describing every detail of the firearms which is tedious. I, like most guys, like things that go BANG! but really do i need to know everything down to the composite materials used to make the stock? I think not. Of course there are others i read that provided no information, i dislike these more, too much info, i can skip over, too little and the story is left lacking something.  Was this book perfect, nope , but it was good enough for me to overlook it's small flaws, well worth reading, hence the 4 stars.  Curious about spanning two continents, can be really tough to write about different countries well. Being originally from Australia and Living in the USA for 20+ years it's the subtle differences that make a story believable, Good Job was done with the book, however i am curious as to when bobbies (British police) started carrying H&K; plastic rifles <G> as you called them.Looking forward to the next one,PS to Author: Hold an art contest with your local high school, to get better cover art.  ( although this 2nd cover is way better then the first.)  Thanks for writing this book, enjoyed it.
