This is my first Fuchs and first Amazon prime borrowed book, so my expectations were low.  (If you've read other independently published = no editing, poor spelling and grammar, huh? you know what i mean.)But this book had terrific characters and settings and was well-written too!  Insight into SEALS, their training, their mission, their thinking--all new to me.  Many zombie writers love their weapons, but here weapons were tools, not inventory or idols.  I could get into the book more because the putative writer was a "regular guy" (albeit more conversant with technology & Africa than anyone i know) overtaken by TEOTWAWKI.Gritty but we are spared long passages of gore.  And instead of love-lost (the inevitable eaten-up family & friends), we have love-growing in the bonds among the men and their respect and recognition of each other.It's all about survival, which is finally what i have decided is the appeal of these (zombie) stories.  we in a more-or-less functioning civilization struggle with power outages, monthly bills, dating--all of which are unimportant in these z'apocalyses--another reason to love them.I'm eager to read the others in the series! Good goin'
