Review: Excellent addition to the zombie genre

"Arisen" appears to be settling in as a lengthy series in which the usual zombie takeover has run up against the island fortress of Britain and a collection of special forces operators from several countries who comprise an elite Alpha team assigned to recover data in zombie territory.  The circumstances that kept Britain uninfected are contrived but make for an interesting situation, and most importantly allow for the staging of the SOF teams.  There is an emphasis on small unit integrity, logistics, and what happens when the fortress walls develop cracks.  Some of the story reminded me of "World War Z", but was actually better than that best-seller.  If you want to read a good yarn in which the zombies don't have it all their own way, this is your ticket.
