I have really enjoyed the Sustainable Earth series so far and this addtion didn't disappoint.  Knowing this book was about to come out, I re-read the other two books (not for the first time) to get ready.Blood Fed Gods has only brief appearances by Ari and Mark, but as usual, very enjoyable and informative.  The main thrust of the story focuses on another group of survivors north of Salt Lake City in a compound near Boise.  Although they had similar experiences at the beginning of their dealings with the zombie apocalypse, the introduction of another danger was interesting.Mr. Lee does an amazing job of charcter building during his stories and his newest 'hero' Dave is just as complex and interesting as the rest. Dave is a high school introvert.  He is heavy, a loner and desparately missing is deceased mom.  He starts his journey ready, willing and wanting to be alone.  After getting stuck with 2 cheerleaders in his high school for a month, he realizes to his surprise, he's much happier with a connection to others.  When the 3 join the Compound, his intelligence and unwillingness to be caught by politics adds considerably to the overall sustainability.I really enjoyed this exploration of another group during the same time Salt Lake was dealing with their own issues and the events that took place with the 2 groups 'met'.  As always, Mark's crazy ideas are truly crazy.I can't wait until the next novel is ready and see what is up Mark's sleeve next.
