Don't get me wrong.  I love me some zombies, but this book is a welcome departure from the genre as the author gets to stretch his literary legs.  Mr. Forsyth introduces a cool cast of characters from the brainy LA weatherman to the brave and resourceful bartender to the annoying and insensitive oilman from Houston (a gross caricature, I must protest somewhat weakly since I know plenty of guys just like him).  The action is pulse pounding as the Sedulity (weird name for a cruise ship) tries to survive on an ocean wracked by enormous tsunami and flaming ejecta from the impact site.  This story reminds me, in a good way, of my favorite distater movies from the 70s and 80s, in addition to his stated inspiration, Lucifer's Hammer.  Great action read!I am anxious to read the next installment in this story as readers don't get much information about what is going on beyond the cruise ship but that is a minor quibble.
