With the 4th installment in the Red Dust series, the authors have established their own unique voice and arrived in their creation of an undead world for good.I felt the writing was at its best, and despite some minor negligible flaws reading was smooth and satisfying. This story centers around Ethan King, former bandit, now leader and defender against the undead of his own little town. When war moves nearer, it also draws an army of the undead, and King has to defend his people against both dangers. When things get critical, the mysterious Griffin, whom we already met in previous stories, comes to rescue.More than its predecessors, this story is very fast paced and full of action, and focuses even more on human battles, while the zombies remain more of a background noise. However, we can witness another cunning abuse of the undead as a weapon by humans against humans.While I missed a main character I could sympathize with more, like young Isaac in The Last Rider, I relished the way the authors made a thug look like a saint fighting for his people while the soldiers seemed to have lost their humanity. And I just loved the mysterious aura surrounding Griffin, who keeps you guessing at his private motivations and the history that formed him.Can't wait to read more of the Red Dust series.(I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review)
