Review: An interesting sidebar to the Gameland saga

Like most of the other reviewers I read this after reading Episode 1 of Gameland. It could be done in any order but I preferred the way I did it because it preserved some mystery while reading the actual series.In Golgotha we get a glimpse of the past and (possibly?) the beginning of the zombie outbreak. Some questions are answered but many remain to be savored and resolved later. Jessie's father and grandfather (The Colonel) are the main characters and it is interesting comparing how The Colonel has transformed over fifteen years.This short story points out how the lust for power and security can easily turn around and destroy us all. I enjoyed the parallels to real life conflicts that make the story more than just another zombie tale. I personally could have done without all the science that explains what created the zombie virus; I'm sure some will enjoy it but it dragged a bit for me. Overall this is an easy recommendation, especially if you are now reading or plan to read the Gameland series. 4 stars!
