Fuchs and James have created a rich and fast-paced post-apocalyptic world. The first outing. Fortress Britain, had solid action and great pace. In this second instalment, there is more tension and intrigue. There is also a World War Z aspect developing with multiple story lines that really speed things along. The much reduced human population mostly resides in the UK and is protected by a United Nations of special forces along with elements of former nation's navies.The offensive operations of these forces is focused on inserting teams into zombie infested cities. Their task is to gather research from overrun medical facilities to cobble together a cure for the zombie virus. The latest insertion is Chicago and suffice it to say, there are challenges. Most enjoyable are the characters who are agreeably developed by being both highly capable and sympathetic in the midst of such a strange world.
